Installing OMD on Manjaro

OMD is a monitoring system based on Nagios, Icinga, and Shinken. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing OMD on your Manjaro machine.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your Manjaro system:

Installing OMD

1. Open a terminal on your Manjaro machine.

   sudo pacman -S omd
   

   This will download and install the OMD package from the official Manjaro repositories.

3. Once the installation is complete, you can create a new OMD site using the omd create command. For example, let's create a site with the name mymonitoring:

4. Start the OMD site using the following command:

   sudo omd start mymonitoring
   

   This will start the OMD site and its services.

5. Access the OMD web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost/mymonitoring. You will need to enter the default username and password, which are omdadmin and omd.

6. Once you have successfully logged in, you can configure and customize the monitoring settings according to your needs.
