How to install OpenTSDB on MXLinux Latest

OpenTSDB is a distributed, scalable, and highly efficient time-series database that is used to store and manage large amounts of data in real-time. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenTSDB on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing OpenTSDB, you will need to have the following prerequisites:

You can install Java Development Kit, Apache Maven, and Git using the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install default-jdk maven git

Step 1: Download and install HBase

OpenTSDB uses Apache HBase as a backend data store. Therefore, you will need to download and install HBase before installing OpenTSDB. To download and install HBase, run the following commands:

cd ~
wget https://mirror.olnevhost.net/pub/apache/hbase/stable/hbase-2.4.5-bin.tar.gz
tar xzf hbase-2.4.5-bin.tar.gz
sudo mv hbase-2.4.5 /usr/local/hbase

After installing HBase, you will need to configure it by editing the HBase configuration file hbase-site.xml. You can use the following command to edit the file:

sudo nano /usr/local/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml

Add the following configuration to the hbase-site.xml file:

<configuration>
  <property>
    <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
    <value>file:///usr/local/hbase/data</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>
    <value>/usr/local/hbase/zookeeper</value>
  </property>
</configuration>

Save and close the file.

Step 2: Download and install OpenTSDB

To download and install OpenTSDB, you will need to clone the OpenTSDB repository using Git and run the Maven build. Use the following commands to clone the repository and build OpenTSDB:

cd ~
git clone git://github.com/OpenTSDB/opentsdb.git
cd opentsdb
sudo mvn package

This process may take some time as Maven downloads and installs all the necessary dependencies.

Step 3: Configure OpenTSDB

After installing OpenTSDB, you will need to configure it by editing the OpenTSDB configuration file opentsdb.conf. You can use the following command to edit the file:

sudo nano /etc/opentsdb/opentsdb.conf

Add the following configuration to the opentsdb.conf file:

tsd.core.plugin_path = /usr/local/hbase/lib
tsd.storage.hbase.zk_quorum = localhost

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Start HBase and OpenTSDB

To start HBase, use the following command:

sudo /usr/local/hbase/bin/start-hbase.sh

Once HBase is running, use the following command to start OpenTSDB:

sudo /usr/local/bin/tsdb tsd --config /etc/opentsdb/opentsdb.conf
