How to Install Adagios on Manjaro

Adagios is an open-source web-based Nagios configuration interface that provides easy management and monitoring of your network resources. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Adagios on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation of Adagios, make sure that you have the following requirements:

Step 1 - Install Nagios

Adagios is a web-based front-end for Nagios. So, the first step is to install Nagios on your Manjaro system.

To install Nagios, open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S nagios

Once the installation is complete, start Nagios by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start nagios

To access the Nagios web interface, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/nagios.

Note: If you have installed Nagios on a remote server, replace localhost with the IP address of the remote server.

Step 2 - Install Adagios

Adagios is available in the official Manjaro repository. So, to install Adagios, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S adagios

Once the installation is complete, start the Apache web server by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd

To access Adagios, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/nagios/adagios.

Note: If you have installed Nagios on a remote server, replace localhost with the IP address of the remote server.

Step 3 - Final Touches

By default, Adagios does not have any authentication enabled. It means anyone who has access to the Adagios URL can manage or monitor your network resources.

To secure Adagios, you can enable authentication by creating a htpasswd file.

To create a htpasswd file, run the following command:

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/.htpasswd adagiosadmin

This command will create a htpasswd file in the /etc/httpd directory with the username "adagiosadmin". You will be prompted to set a password for the user.

To enable authentication for the Adagios URL, open the Adagios configuration file located at /etc/httpd/conf/extra/adagios.conf and add the following lines:

<Location /nagios/adagios>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Adagios"
    AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/.htpasswd"
    Require valid-user
</Location>

Save the file and restart the Apache web server by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd
