Naemon is an open-source monitoring solution that is designed to monitor network resources, applications, and services on Linux systems. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Naemon on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation of Naemon, make sure the following prerequisites are met:
To install Naemon on Elementary OS Latest, we need to install several dependencies first. Open the terminal and type the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wget build-essential openssl libssl-dev libgd-dev libperl-dev librrd-dev libmysqlclient-dev mysql-server mysql-client apache2-utils libkrb5-dev libldap2-dev libffi-dev libcurl4 libcurl4-openssl-dev -y
To download the latest version of Naemon, use the following commands:
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/naemon/naemon/archive/stable.tar.gz
tar -zxvf stable.tar.gz
cd naemon-stable/
Once you have downloaded the source code, compile and install Naemon by running these commands:
./configure --with-httpd-conf=/etc/apache2/conf-available
make all
make fullinstall
After installation, you need to configure Naemon to start automatically during system boot, assign a password, and create a configuration file. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable naemon
sudo /usr/local/naemon/bin/naemon-gen-passwd naemonadmin
sudo touch /usr/local/naemon/etc/naemon.cfg
Finally, start Naemon by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl start naemon
You have successfully installed Naemon on your Elementary OS Latest machine. To verify the installation, verify that Naemon is running by typing the following command:
systemctl status naemon
If the service is running without any issues, you should see a message that indicates the service is active and running.
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!
