In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step on how to install Checkmk on your MXLinux operating system. Checkmk is an open-source monitoring solution that checks the availability and performance of servers, applications, and network devices. Before starting with the installation process, ensure that you have installed the latest version of MXLinux on your system.
The first step is to update your system to the latest packages. You can do this by opening the terminal and running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
After updating your system, you need to install the dependencies required by Checkmk. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libsnmp-dev libmariadb3 libmariadb-dev libpq5 libpq-dev
Next, we will download the Checkmk installation script using the following command:
sudo wget -O - https://checkmk.com/support/1.6.0p20/check-mk-raw-1.6.0p20_0.bionic_amd64.deb | sudo dpkg -i -
After the installation is complete, you can start Checkmk using the following command:
sudo systemctl start check-mk-raw
Finally, you can access the Checkmk web interface by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:
http://localhost/check_mk/
You should see the Checkmk login page, where you can enter your credentials to access the dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Checkmk on your MXLinux operating system. You can now use Checkmk to monitor the performance and availability of your servers, applications, and network devices.
