Netdata is an open-source real-time monitoring solution that provides extensive visibility into Linux systems, applications, and networks. It is easy to install, highly customizable, and incredibly efficient.
This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing Netdata on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before installing any new software, it is a good practice to update your system to its latest version. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper update
Netdata requires a few dependencies to function properly. You can install them by running the following command:
sudo zypper install curl gcc make zlib-devel libuuid-devel libmnl-devel git
Netdata is distributed as source code, and the easiest way to install it is by cloning the Git repository.
sudo git clone https://github.com/netdata/netdata.git --depth=1
After cloning the repository, navigate to the Netdata directory and run the netdata-installer.sh script.
cd netdata
sudo ./netdata-installer.sh
This script will download and compile all the necessary components, and install Netdata on your system.
During the installation, you will be prompted to provide an email address to receive updates from Netdata. You can skip this step if you wish.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the Netdata web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:19999.
If you want to access the Netdata server from a remote system, you need to modify the Netdata configuration.
sudo nano /etc/netdata/netdata.conf
Find the bind to directive, and change it to the IP address or domain name that you want to allow access to.
bind to = your_ip_address
Save and close the configuration file, and restart Netdata.
sudo systemctl restart netdata
You can now access the Netdata web interface from a remote system by navigating to http://your_ip_address:19999.
Netdata is an excellent monitoring tool that can help you keep track of your system's performance and health. In this tutorial, you learned how to install Netdata on OpenSUSE Latest, configure it, and access the 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!
