Icinga is an open-source monitoring tool that allows you to keep an eye on various aspects of your infrastructure, including servers, applications, and network devices. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Icinga on OpenBSD.
Before you can begin the installation, ensure that you have the following:
Before installing any new package, update your OpenBSD system to ensure that it's up-to-date.
sudo sysupgrade
This command will update your system with the latest packages.
Before installing Icinga on OpenBSD, you need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command to install the required dependencies.
sudo pkg_add -I libiconv libxml2 libxslt pcre libintl gnutls libgd gettext
Download the Icinga package from the link below:
https://packages.icinga.com/OpenBSD/7/amd64/
Once downloaded, install the Icinga package using the following command:
sudo pkg_add icinga-<version>-amd64.tgz
Ensure to replace <version> with the downloaded Icinga package's version.
After installation, configure Icinga using a configuration file named icinga.cfg. You can find this file in /etc/icinga/icinga.cfg.
Start the Icinga service using the following command:
sudo rcctl enable icinga
sudo rcctl start icinga
After starting the Icinga service, you can access the web interface using your web browser. Visit the following URL:
http://<host IP address>/icinga-web/
Replace <host IP address> with your OpenBSD system's IP address.
That's it! You have successfully installed Icinga on OpenBSD. Now you can start monitoring your infrastructure using Icinga's web interface.
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!
