NetXMS is a powerful network and infrastructure monitoring system. It provides extensive support for monitoring and alerting, as well as reporting and data visualization. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install NetXMS on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before installing any software, it is recommended to update the system to its latest version. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all the packages and dependencies of the system.
NetXMS requires a few dependencies to be installed on the system before its installation. You can install these dependencies by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S git mariadb mariadb-clients mariadb-libs mariadb-jdbc
This command will install Git, MariaDB database server, and Java MySQL connector.
Now we can install NetXMS by downloading the installation package from their website. However, for EndeavourOS Latest, we will install NetXMS from the AUR repository.
To install NetXMS from AUR, we first need to install an AUR helper. In this tutorial, we will use yay as our AUR helper. You can install yay by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S yay
Next, we can install NetXMS by running the following command in the terminal:
yay -S netxms
This command will download the NetXMS installation package, compile and install it on the system.
NetXMS requires a database to store its configuration and monitoring data. We will use MariaDB as our database server.
To initialize MariaDB, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Next, we will start the MariaDB service and enable it to start at boot time by running the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
sudo systemctl enable mariadb.service
Now we need to configure NetXMS to use the MariaDB database server.
Open the NetXMS configuration file by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo nano /opt/netxms/etc/nxmc.conf
In this file, find the following lines and replace them with the corresponding values:
DBClusterAddress = 127.0.0.1
DBClusterPort = 3306
DBName = nxmc
DBUser = nxmc
DBPassword = password
Save and close the file.
We can now start the NetXMS server by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo systemctl start nxagent.service
This command will start the NetXMS agent service.
To access the NetXMS web interface, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/nxmc/. You should see the NetXMS login page.
Use the following credentials to log in:
Username: nxmc
Password: password
Once you're logged in, you can start configuring and monitoring your network and infrastructure.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed NetXMS on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now use NetXMS to monitor and manage your network and infrastructure.
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!
