| 1 | Prometheus QoS installation - canonical |
| 2 | |
| 3 | 1. run "./check-kernel-qos" script to check kernel modules HTB and SFQ (optional) |
| 4 | 2. as a root, run "make install" (you shouldn't get errors, just some warnings) |
| 5 | 3. edit /etc/prometheus/prometheus.conf (conf/prometheus.conf or examples/...) |
| 6 | 4. edit /etc/prometheus/hosts (conf/prometheus.hosts or examples/...) |
| 7 | 5. edit /etc/cron.d/prometheus to update preview, shutdown and reload times |
| 8 | 6. run "/etc/init.d/prometheus start" to activate QoS |
| 9 | 7. run "/etc/init.d/prometheus stop" to shutdown QoS and generate stats |
| 10 | 8. run "/etc/init.d/prometheus kill" to force immediate flush of QoS rules |
| 11 | 9. setup /etc/init.d/prometheus to your system init (distribution dependent) |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Prometheus QoS installation - alternative, old way |
| 14 | |
| 15 | 1. if can read read this, you have already unpacked the .tar.gz archive |
| 16 | 2. run "make prometheus" (you shouldn't get errors, just some warnings) |
| 17 | 3. create /etc/prometheus/prometheus.conf (conf/prometheus.conf or examples/...) |
| 18 | 4. create /etc/prometheus/hosts (conf/prometheus.hosts or examples/...) |
| 19 | 5. to activate QoS manualy from command line, just run "./prometheus" |
| 20 | 6. to softly shutdown QoS (and generate stats), run "./prometheus -f" ("flush") |
| 21 | 7. to force immediate flush of QoS rules, run "./prometheus -9" ("kill") |

| 23 | Promethetus QoS advanced tips: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | 1. use -p command line switch to generate instant and safe Hall of fame preview |
| 26 | 2. use qos-free-delay option for pause after flushing old rules, before loading new |
| 27 | 3. take some time to understand files examples/prometheus.conf and examples/hosts |
| 28 | 4. note: qos-proxy-enable and qos-free-zone won't work together |
| 29 | 5. warning: doing SNAT and QoS on the same router may cause performance problems |

| 39 | 1. you need root access and "debhelper" package installed |
| 40 | 2. run "make deb" or "sudo make deb" |
