Riemann is a powerful open-source monitoring tool that can help you monitor, analyze and troubleshoot your systems in real-time. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Riemann on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we start, please ensure that:

wget https://aphyr.com/riemann/riemann-0.3.1.tar.bz2
tar xvfj riemann-0.3.1.tar.bz2
cd riemann-0.3.1/
