OpenTSDB is a distributed, scalable time-series database that stores large amounts of data in a way that allows you to analyze it with ease. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install OpenTSDB on Fedora Server.
OpenTSDB is a Java-based application, so we need to install Java on our system. Run the following command to install OpenJDK:
sudo dnf install java-latest-openjdk-devel
OpenTSDB is designed to work with Apache HBase, so we need to install HBase on our system. Run the following command to install HBase:
sudo dnf install hbase
Now that we have installed Java and HBase, we can proceed with the installation of OpenTSDB. Run the following command to download the latest version of OpenTSDB:
wget https://github.com/OpenTSDB/opentsdb/releases/download/v2.4.0/opentsdb-2.4.0.noarch.rpm
Once the download is complete, run the following command to install OpenTSDB:
sudo rpm -i opentsdb-2.4.0.noarch.rpm
After installing OpenTSDB, we need to configure it to work with our HBase instance. Run the following command to edit the OpenTSDB configuration file:
sudo vi /etc/opentsdb/opentsdb.conf
Find the following lines in the file and replace the localhost with the IP address or hostname of your HBase instance:
tsd.core.hbase.zk_quorum = localhost
tsd.storage.hbase.zk_quorum = localhost
Once you have made the changes, save the file and exit the editor.
We're almost done! Now we just need to start OpenTSDB. Run the following command to start OpenTSDB:
sudo service opentsdb start
To check whether OpenTSDB is running or not, run the following command:
curl http://localhost:4242/hello
If you see the message "Hello from OpenTSDB!" it means OpenTSDB is running successfully.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenTSDB on your Fedora Server. Now you can start storing and analyzing your time-series data.
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!
