OMD (Open Monitoring Distribution) is an open source monitoring solution that provides a variety of monitoring tools and services. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install OMD on OpenBSD.
Before getting started, you need to have the following:
The first step is to update the system to the latest packages. To do this, type the following command in the terminal:
$ sudo pkg_add -Uu
OMD requires several packages to work correctly in OpenBSD. You can install these packages by running the following command:
$ sudo pkg_add apache-httpd p5-Apache-DBI p5-CGI p5-Net-SNMP py3-pip \
py3-ldap py3-psycopg2 py3-requests
To install OMD, we need to download the OMD package from the official website. You can use the following command to download the latest version of OMD package:
$ wget http://files.omdistro.org/releases/omd-2.90.openbsd.amd64.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the OMD package to the /opt directory.
$ sudo tar -zxvf omd-2.90.openbsd.amd64.tar.gz -C /opt/
Before we can start using OMD, we need to create a new OMD site. You can create a new OMD site by running the following command:
$ sudo omd create mySite
Here "mySite" is the name of the site. You can replace it with any name you like.
To start the OMD site, you can use the following command:
$ sudo omd start mySite
This will start the OMD site and you can access it using your web browser at http://localhost/mySite/.
Once the OMD site is started, you can access the OMD web interface by opening your web browser and entering http://localhost/mySite/ in the address bar.
That's it! You have successfully installed OMD on OpenBSD. You can now use OMD to monitor your server and services efficiently. If you face any issues during the installation process, you can refer to the official documentation provided by OMD.
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!
