Bloonix is an open-source monitoring solution that helps in monitoring servers, network devices, and web applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Bloonix on Windows 11.
Before proceeding with the installation process, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to install the required dependencies. Open the command prompt as an administrator and run the following command:
pip install bloonix_agent
To install the Bloonix agent, navigate to the Bloonix agent distribution page (https://bloonix-monitoring.org/download) and download the latest version of the agent for Windows.
Extract the downloaded file to a location of your choice.
Navigate to the directory where you extracted the Bloonix agent in Step 2. Open the agent.cfg file in a text editor and configure the following parameters:
[agent]
server = <BLOONIX_SERVER_IP>
token = <AGENT_TOKEN>
frequency = 60
Replace <BLOONIX_SERVER_IP> with the IP address of your Bloonix server and <AGENT_TOKEN> with the unique token that you received from the Bloonix server.
Once you have configured the agent, run the following command to start the Bloonix agent:
python3 ./bloonix_agent.py start
To verify the installation, log in to your Bloonix server and navigate to the Server Status page. If the agent is installed and configured correctly, you should see the agent listed under the Active Agents section.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bloonix on Windows 11. You can now use Bloonix to monitor your servers and network devices.
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!
