In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Sensu on EndeavourOS. Sensu is an open-source monitoring platform that allows you to monitor your infrastructure, applications, and services in a customizable and scalable way.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Sensu requires RabbitMQ as a message broker for communication between its different components. We'll start by installing RabbitMQ:
Open a terminal and update the system package list:
sudo pacman -Syu
Install Erlang, which is a dependency of RabbitMQ:
sudo pacman -S erlang
Install RabbitMQ:
sudo pacman -S rabbitmq
Enable RabbitMQ to start on boot:
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq.service
Start RabbitMQ:
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq.service
Now that we have RabbitMQ installed and running, let's move on to installing Sensu:
Add the Sensu repository to your system package list by creating a new file called sensu.list in the /etc/pacman.d/ directory:
sudo nano /etc/pacman.d/sensu.list
Add the following lines to sensu.list:
[sensu]
Server = https://sensu.global.ssl.fastly.net/aur/$arch
Save and close the file.
Update your system package list:
sudo pacman -Syu
Install the Sensu packages:
sudo pacman -S sensu sensu-plugins-rabbitmq
Enable and start the Sensu services:
sudo systemctl enable sensu-server.service sensu-api.service sensu-client.service
sudo systemctl start sensu-server.service sensu-api.service sensu-client.service
Congratulations! You now have Sensu installed and running on your EndeavourOS system.
Sensu is a powerful and customizable monitoring platform that can help you keep your infrastructure, applications, and services running smoothly. By following the steps in this tutorial, you should now have Sensu up and running on your EndeavourOS system.
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!
