Riemann is an open-source tool that helps in monitoring, analyzing, and alerting on distributed systems. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Riemann on Fedora Server.
Before you start, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to update the Fedora Server system to the latest version using the following commands:
sudo dnf update
Enter the root password if prompted and wait for the system to update.
Riemann is based on the Java platform, and thus you need to install Java. Enter the following command to install Open JDK 11.
sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk-devel -y
Verify that the installation was successful by running the following command:
java -version
You should see the version of Java installed.
To install Riemann, you need to add the Riemann repository to the system. Enter the following command:
echo '[riemann]
name=Riemann RPM Repository
baseurl=http://riemann.io/packages/rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0' | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/riemann.repo
Now, use the following command to install Riemann:
sudo dnf install riemann
You will be prompted to confirm the installation. Enter y and wait for the installation process to complete.
You can now start the Riemann server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start riemann
To ensure that Riemann runs automatically on system reboot, enter the following command:
sudo systemctl enable riemann
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Riemann on Fedora Server. You can now use Riemann to monitor, analyze, and alert on your distributed systems.
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!
