In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install Naemon, a monitoring system designed to efficiently monitor all network infrastructure components, on the latest version of Linux Mint.
Before we get started with installing Naemon on Linux Mint, please make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step of installing Naemon on Linux Mint is to add the Naemon repository to your system.
Open the terminal on your Linux Mint, and run the following command to add the Naemon repository:

After installing Naemon on your system, the next step is to configure it.
In the terminal, open the Naemon configuration file using your preferred editor. In this tutorial, we will use the nano editor.
sudo nano /etc/naemon/naemon.cfg
In this file, you can configure the settings for Naemon such as the check interval and the check commands.
Save the changes and exit the file.
With Naemon now installed and configured, the final step is to start the Naemon service.
To start the Naemon service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start naemon
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Naemon on Linux Mint.
