Telegraf is an open-source data-collecting software that helps developers to collect, process, and output system performance metrics. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Telegraf on FreeBSD latest.
Before starting, ensure that your FreeBSD system is up-to-date using the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
Telegraf requires Go to be installed on the system. In case Go is not installed, use the following command to install it:
sudo pkg install go
Clone the Telegraf repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf.git
Move to the Telegraf directory downloaded in Step 2 and build Telegraf using the following command:
cd telegraf
make
After building Telegraf, install it using the below command:
sudo make install
To start Telegraf service, use the following command:
sudo service telegraf start
To verify whether Telegraf is running or not, check the status of the Telegraf service using the following command:
sudo service telegraf status
If Telegraf is running successfully, it will return a message indicating that the Telegraf service is active.
In conclusion, we have successfully demonstrated how to install Telegraf on FreeBSD latest. Telegraf is a powerful tool that can help developers to collect system performance metrics and analyze them in real-time.
