Collectd is an open-source performance monitoring tool used to collect system statistics and store them for further analysis. In this tutorial, we will be going through the installation process of Collectd on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before installing Collectd on your Ubuntu Server, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to update the current package repositories on our system. We can do this with the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Next, we will install Collectd onto our Ubuntu Server. We can do this with the following command:
sudo apt-get install collectd
After installation, we need to configure Collectd for our system. The configuration file is located at /etc/collectd/collectd.conf. Open this file with your text editor:
sudo nano /etc/collectd/collectd.conf
Configure the Collectd file according to your needs. You can adjust the plugin settings and define the system's requirements.
Once the configuration is complete, start Collectd by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start collectd
To check if Collectd is running, use the following command:
systemctl status collectd
Lastly, we want to ensure that Collectd starts automatically on system boot. To do this use the following command:
sudo systemctl enable collectd
To disable Collectd from starting automatically, run the following command:
sudo systemctl disable collectd
By following the above steps, you can successfully install, configure, and run Collectd on your Ubuntu Server. Now, you can monitor your system's statistics and store the data for further analysis.
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!
