Installing OMD on Fedora Server Latest

OMD, or Open Monitoring Distribution, is a free and open-source monitoring tool that provides a comprehensive solution for monitoring, trend analysis, and availability reporting. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing OMD on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

• A server running Fedora Server Latest.
• A non-root user with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Update and Upgrade System

First, make sure that your system is up-to-date by running the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

In order to install OMD, you need to install several dependencies. Run the following command to install these dependencies:

sudo dnf install -y epel-release
sudo dnf install -y httpd php mariadb mariadb-server php-mysql php-mcrypt php73-mod_php
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation

Step 3: Download and Install OMD

Next, download the latest stable version of OMD from the official download page using the following command:

sudo dnf install -y https://labs.consol.de/repo/stable/rhel7/x86_64/omd-labs-consol-stable.repo
sudo dnf install -y omd-<VERSION>

Replace with the latest version number of OMD. For example:

sudo dnf install -y omd-2.90-labs-edition

Step 4: Initialize OMD

Once OMD is installed, you can initialize it by running the following command:

sudo omd create <SITE_NAME>

Replace with a name for your monitoring site, such as "monitoring". This command will create a new OMD site and start the OMD service.

Step 5: Access the OMD Web Interface

Finally, you can access the OMD web interface in your web browser by going to:

Replace with the IP address of your server and with the name of your monitoring site. You will be prompted to log in with the OMD default username and password, which are both "omdadmin".
