Diamond is a Python daemon that collects system metrics and publishes them to Graphite and other data collection systems. It is an open-source project available on GitHub that can be installed on various Linux distributions, including EndeavourOS. The following tutorial outlines the steps to install Diamond from GitHub on EndeavourOS.
Before we start with the installation, ensure you have the following:
The first step is to install the necessary dependencies to build Diamond. To do so, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S python-pip python-setuptools python-dev python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-dev python-configobj
This command will install Python pip, setuptools, dev, and configobj modules for Python 2 and 3.
In this step, we will clone Diamond's GitHub repository and move to the cloned directory. To do so, open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/python-diamond/Diamond.git
cd Diamond/
This command will clone the Diamond repository and move to the Diamond repository directory.
Once we have cloned the Diamond repository, we can now install it using the following command:
sudo python setup.py install
This command will install Diamond and its dependencies.
To verify that Diamond is installed correctly, we can test it by running the following command:
diamond -h
This command will display the help menu of Diamond. If you can see the help menu, then Diamond is installed correctly on your EndeavourOS Latest.
Diamond is a powerful and easy-to-use tool for collecting and publishing system metrics. We have covered all the necessary steps required to install Diamond on an EndeavourOS Latest system. By following the tutorial, you should now have a fully-functional installation of Diamond that you can use to monitor your system metrics with ease.
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!
