Prometheus is a free and open-source monitoring tool used to collect metrics from various systems, services, and applications. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Prometheus on Fedora Server.
Before you begin, make sure the following prerequisites are met:
The first step is to update the system packages to the latest available version. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Now, we need to install the Prometheus package on our system. You can do this by following the steps below:
wget https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/download/v2.30.3/prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvf prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64/ /opt/prometheus
sudo ln -s /opt/prometheus/prometheus /usr/local/bin/prometheus
sudo useradd --no-create-home --shell /bin/false prometheus
sudo chown -R prometheus:prometheus /opt/prometheus
sudo cp /opt/prometheus/examples/prometheus.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable prometheus
sudo systemctl start prometheus
Once Prometheus is installed, you can access the Prometheus web interface by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:
http://<YOUR-SERVER-IP-ADDRESS>:9090
You can now start monitoring your system using Prometheus.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Prometheus on Fedora Server. You can now start collecting and analyzing metrics from your systems, services, and applications.
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!
