Cabot is an open-source self-hosted monitoring system. It provides a web interface to monitor and alert based on events, and it's incredibly scalable. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps of installing Cabot on Kali Linux latest.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
Before we can install Cabot, we need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y libjpeg-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libffi-dev
This command will update the package list and install necessary packages that Cabot depends on.
To install Cabot, use the following command:
sudo pip install cabotapp
This command will install Cabot on your system. It may take a few minutes depending on your internet connection speed.
Now that Cabot is installed, we need to run it. To do so, use the following commands:
cabot migrate
cabot createsuperuser
cabot run
The migrate command will create necessary tables in the database, the createsuperuser command will create a superuser account for administration, and the run command will start the Cabot server.
By default, Cabot listens on port 5000. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:5000/. You should be able to see the login page.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Cabot on Kali Linux latest. You can now start monitoring your server using Cabot. You can explore other functionalities of Cabot by visiting Cabot's official documentation.
