Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
The following steps will guide you through the installation process of Sensu on your Linux Mint system:
Before installing any new software, make sure to update your Linux Mint system:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Sensu requires Redis to run. You can install it by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt install redis-server
Add the Sensu repository to your system by creating a new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sensu.list with the following content:
deb https://packagecloud.io/sensu/stable/ubuntu/ $(lsb_release -cs) main
Add the package cloud GPG key to your system in order to verify the package signatures before installing:
curl -L https://packagecloud.io/sensu/stable/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -
Now that the repository has been added, you can install Sensu by running the following command:
sudo apt install sensu
After the installation, start and enable the Sensu services using:
sudo systemctl start sensu-server sensu-api sensu-client
sudo systemctl enable sensu-server sensu-api sensu-client
You have successfully installed Sensu on your Linux Mint system. You can now use Sensu to monitor and report on the performance of your applications and infrastructure.
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!
