Naemon is an open source monitoring system that provides monitoring of network services, hosts, and network devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Naemon on Fedora CoreOS latest using the command-line interface.
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to update the system packages to the latest version. Use the following command to update the system:
sudo dnf update -y
Naemon requires some dependencies to be installed on your system. Use the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install -y gcc make autoconf automake libtool libdbi-devel libdbi-drivers libmysqlclient-devel libpqxx-devel postgresql-devel zlib-devel curl-devel glib2-devel net-snmp-devel net-snmp-libs
Next, you need to download and install the Naemon package on your system. Use the following command to download the Naemon source code:
wget https://github.com/naemon/naemon/releases/download/1.2.2/naemon-1.2.2.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the following command:
tar -zxvf naemon-1.2.2.tar.gz
Now, move into the extracted directory and configure the installation using the following commands:
cd naemon-1.2.2
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/naemon --localstatedir=/var/lib/naemon --with-pgsql --with-mysql --with-perlcache --with-httpd
After completing the configuration, compile and install Naemon using the following command:
make all && sudo make install
Naemon plugins are used for monitoring various services on your system. Use the following command to install the necessary plugins:
sudo dnf install naemon-plugin*\*.rpm
After the installation is complete, start the Naemon service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start naemon
The Naemon configuration files are located in the /etc/naemon directory. The main configuration file is naemon.cfg. Use the following command to edit the file:
sudo vi /etc/naemon/naemon.cfg
Now, configure the file according to your requirements. Once you have made the changes, save and exit the file.
You can access Naemon using a web browser. Open your web browser and enter the following URL:
http://<your-server-IP>:8080/naemon/
You should now see the Naemon login page. Enter the default username and password (admin/admin) to log in.
