Thruk is a web-based monitoring application that allows you to monitor your systems and networks. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Thruk on Arch Linux.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that your system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Thruk requires some dependencies to work correctly. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo pacman -S perl-dbd-mysql httpd nagios nrpe mod_perl perl-test-pod perl-test-pod-coverage perl-lwp-protocol-https
To install Thruk, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S thruk
Once the installation completes, you need to configure Thruk to work with your Nagios monitoring system. Open the file /etc/thruk/thruk_local.conf in your preferred text editor.
sudo nano /etc/thruk/thruk_local.conf
In the file, ensure that the following configuration settings are present:
$OMD_ROOT/var/nagios /var/cache/thruk/data
nagios_config_file=$OMD_ROOT/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
Now, restart the Thruk service to apply the configuration changes:
sudo systemctl restart thruk.service
Thruk is now installed and configured on your Arch Linux system. Open your web browser and enter http://localhost/thruk in the URL bar. You should see the Thruk login page.
Login with the Nagios username and password to access the Thruk dashboard.
Thruk allows you to monitor your systems and networks with ease. In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure Thruk on Arch Linux.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
