OpenTSDB is a scalable and distributed time-series database that is designed to store and analyze large amounts of data in real-time. Installing OpenTSDB on macOS is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps. Here's how to do it:
Before you begin, you need to make sure that your macOS system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to download the latest version of OpenTSDB from the official website at http://opentsdb.net/. You can download the tarball by clicking the "Download" link on the homepage.
After downloading the tarball, you need to extract it to a directory on your file system. You can do this by opening Terminal and navigating to the directory where the tarball was downloaded. For example, if you downloaded the tarball to your Downloads directory, you can extract it with the following command:
tar -zxvf opentsdb-VERSION.tar.gz -C /opt
Replace VERSION with the version of OpenTSDB that you downloaded. This will extract the contents of the tarball to the /opt/opentsdb-VERSION directory.
To build OpenTSDB, you need to use Maven. Open Terminal and navigate to the /opt/opentsdb-VERSION directory that you just extracted. Then run the following command:
sudo ./build.sh
This will build OpenTSDB and create a JAR file that can be used to run it.
Before you can start using OpenTSDB, you need to configure it. OpenTSDB uses a configuration file located at /opt/opentsdb-VERSION/src/opentsdb.conf. You can edit this file with your favorite text editor to configure OpenTSDB.
The most important configuration option is the tsd.storage.hbase.zk_quorum option, which specifies the ZooKeeper quorum. You need to set this to the hostname or IP address of the ZooKeeper quorum that you want to use.
To start OpenTSDB, use the following command:
sudo ./build/tsdb tsd --config=/opt/opentsdb-VERSION/src/opentsdb.conf
This will start OpenTSDB and listen on port 4242. You can access the web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:4242.
That's it! You've successfully installed OpenTSDB on macOS. With OpenTSDB, you have a powerful time-series database that can store and analyze large amounts of data in real-time.
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!
