Thruk is a powerful monitoring solution that provides a web interface for the Nagios monitoring system. It allows you to monitor your servers, applications, and services from a single dashboard. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Thruk on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we begin, please ensure that you have:
Before installing Thruk, it is recommended to update the system to the latest version. To do so, open the terminal and type the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
To install Thruk, we need to install Apache and PHP first. To do so, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install apache2 php
Once Apache and PHP are installed, we can proceed to install Thruk. Thruk is available in the default Ubuntu repository, so we can simply run the following command to install it:
sudo apt install thruk
During the installation process, you will be prompted to configure the database. Choose the MySQL database, and enter the MySQL root password when prompted.
To configure Apache for Thruk, we need to create a new Apache configuration file. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/thruk.conf
Then, paste the following configuration code:
ScriptAlias /thruk/cgi-bin/ "/usr/share/thruk/cgi-bin/"
Alias /thruk/ "/usr/share/thruk/html/"
Alias /thruk-static/ "/usr/share/thruk/static/"
<Directory "/usr/share/thruk">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and exit the file.
Next, we need to enable the Apache CGI module. Run the following command:
sudo a2enmod cgi
Finally, restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Thruk is now installed and configured. You can access it by going to your server's IP address or domain name followed by /thruk. For example:
http://your_server_ip_address/thruk
You will be prompted to enter the Thruk administrator login credentials, which are the same as the Nagios administrator login credentials.
