In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Telegraf on OpenSUSE.
Telegraf is a powerful, open-source agent that collects, processes, and aggregates metrics and data from various sources. It is commonly used for monitoring and troubleshooting servers, applications, and systems.
If you are using OpenSUSE as your operating system, you can easily install Telegraf by following the steps outlined below.
Before installing Telegraf, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To install Telegraf on OpenSUSE, you need to add the official Telegraf repository to your system. Follow the below steps to add the repository.
sudo zypper ar https://repos.influxdata.com/opensuse/telegraf.repo
sudo rpm --import https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key
After adding the Telegraf repository, the next step is to install the Telegraf package by running the following command:
sudo zypper install telegraf
This command will download and install the Telegraf package along with its dependencies.
After the installation is complete, you need to start and enable the Telegraf service. Run the following commands to do that:
sudo systemctl start telegraf
sudo systemctl enable telegraf
This will start the Telegraf service and enable it to start automatically at system boot.
To verify that Telegraf is installed and running correctly, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status telegraf
If the Telegraf service is running, you should see the status message "active (running)".
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Telegraf on OpenSUSE. You can now configure Telegraf to collect and send data to your preferred data store, such as InfluxDB or Grafana.
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!
