This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Icinga on Fedora Server. Icinga is an open-source monitoring system that allows you to monitor your entire infrastructure.
Before you start the installation process, ensure that you have the following:
Update your system to ensure that all installed packages are up to date:
sudo dnf update
Icinga requires several dependencies that need to be installed. Run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install epel-release yum-utils
To install Icinga on Fedora Server, follow the steps below:
Add Icinga repository to your system by running the following command:
sudo rpm --import https://packages.icinga.com/icinga.key
sudo curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/icinga.repo https://packages.icinga.com/epel/icinga-rpm-epel.repo
Install Icinga by running the below command:
sudo dnf install icinga2 icinga2-doc
Start Icinga service by running the below command:
sudo systemctl start icinga2
Enable Icinga service to start on system boot by running below command:
sudo systemctl enable icinga2
Verify if Icinga is running by visiting http://localhost:80/icingaweb2 in your browser.
After successful installation, you can customize Icinga to suit your requirements.
The main configuration file for Icinga resides in /etc/icinga2/icinga2.conf. Restart Icinga after making any configuration changes:
sudo systemctl restart icinga2
Icinga is now installed and configured on your Fedora Server. Don’t forget to monitor your infrastructure and ensure that your services are up and running efficiently.
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!
