How to Install Adagios on OpenBSD

Adagios is a web-based Nagios configuration interface that makes it easy to manage monitoring, alarms, and other related tasks. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Adagios on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

• A system with OpenBSD installed.
• A user account with sudo access.

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing Adagios, make sure your system is up-to-date. You can install any necessary updates with the following command:

$ sudo pkg_add -u

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Adagios has several dependencies that must be installed before it can be installed. To install the required packages, use the following command:

$ sudo pkg_add nginx python-2.7.18 \
    py2-gunicorn py2-setuptools py2-pip \
    py2-flup py2-jinja2 py2-pynag \
    py2-cssmin py2-jsmin

Step 3: Install Adagios

Once the required packages are installed, use the following command to download and install Adagios:

$ sudo pip2.7 install adagios

Step 4: Configure Nginx

Configure Nginx to work with Adagios by creating a configuration file at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf with the following contents:

worker_processes  1;
events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}
http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  localhost;
        access_log   /var/log/nginx/access.log;
        error_log    /var/log/nginx/error.log;
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        }
    }
}

Step 5: Start Adagios

Once Nginx is configured, you can start the Adagios web service with the following command:

$ adagios-start

This command will start the Adagios web service on port 8000 by default.

Step 6: Access Adagios

Open up a web browser and navigate to http://localhost. This should bring up the Adagios login page. Login with the username admin and the default password admin.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Adagios on your OpenBSD system.
