cState is a simple and easy-to-use web server monitoring tool that visualizes the performance metrics of your web servers in real-time. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install cState on Kali Linux.
Before we get started, ensure that you have the following:
Follow the given steps to install cState on Kali Linux:
First, we need to install the dependencies that cState relies on. Open up the terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git python3-pip
Next, we need to clone the cState GitHub repository. Run the following command in the terminal window:
git clone https://github.com/cstate/cstate.git
To install cState, navigate to the cloned cState directory:
cd cstate
Then, use pip3 to install the required Python modules:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
After installing the required modules, we are ready to start cState. Run the following command in the same directory:
sudo python3 cstate.py
Once started, cState will be listening on port 8000. If you want to change this, you can modify the config.yaml file in the cState directory.
You can access the cState interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000 in the address bar.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured cState on Kali Linux. Now you can use cState to monitor the performance metrics of your web servers.
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!
