Ganglia is a scalable, distributed monitoring system that can be used to monitor various metrics such as CPU usage, network bandwidth, memory usage, and more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Ganglia on Manjaro.
Before installing any software, it is recommended to update the package database. To do this, run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
To install the basic Ganglia monitoring system, run:
sudo pacman -S ganglia
Once Ganglia is installed, you will need to configure it. The configuration file is located at /etc/ganglia/gmond.conf. Open this file in your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /etc/ganglia/gmond.conf
In this file, you can configure various options such as the cluster name, node name, and IP addresses of the Ganglia server(s). Make the necessary changes to suit your environment.
Now that Ganglia is installed and configured, you can start the monitoring daemon by running:
sudo systemctl start ganglia-monitor
To ensure that the daemon starts automatically at boot time, run:
sudo systemctl enable ganglia-monitor
To access the Ganglia web interface, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/ganglia/. You should see a dashboard displaying various metrics such as CPU usage, network bandwidth, memory usage, and more.
If you want to install the Ganglia web front-end for a more comprehensive monitoring experience, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S ganglia-web
This will install the Ganglia web interface, which is accessible at http://localhost/ganglia/.
In this tutorial, we have guided you through the steps to install Ganglia on Manjaro. By following these steps, you should now have a basic Ganglia monitoring system up and running on your Manjaro machine.
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!
