Graphite is an open source monitoring tool that records and visualizes real-time data. It is commonly used for monitoring and graphing system performance metrics, and is widely used for monitoring web applications, network devices, and other network infrastructure components. Here's how you can install Graphite on EndeavourOS.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the necessary dependencies. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S python2 python2-pip python2-virtualenv memcached
Next, navigate to the root directory and create a virtual environment using the following command:
cd /
sudo virtualenv /opt/graphite
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
source /opt/graphite/bin/activate
Now, run the following command to install Graphite and its dependencies:
sudo pip2 install graphite-web graphite-carbon
Once the installation is complete, you need to configure the Carbon daemon. Carbon is responsible for collecting and storing data from various sources, and Graphite-web is responsible for rendering the charts and graphs.
To do this, navigate to the /opt/graphite/conf directory and copy the example configuration files:
cd /opt/graphite/conf/
sudo cp carbon.conf.example carbon.conf
sudo cp storage-schemas.conf.example storage-schemas.conf
Next, edit the carbon.conf and storage-schemas.conf files to configure the Carbon daemon.
Once you have configured the Carbon daemon, start the Carbon daemon and the Graphite web server by running the following commands:
cd /opt/graphite/
sudo ./bin/carbon-cache.py start
sudo ./bin/run-graphite-devel-server.py /opt/graphite/
You can now access the Graphite web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080/. If you have installed Graphite on a remote machine, replace "localhost" with the remote machine's IP address or hostname.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Graphite on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now start monitoring and visualizing your system's performance metrics.
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!
