Riemann is a monitoring system that collects and processes metrics, events, and messages in real time. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Riemann on macOS.
Before we begin, there are a few things you need to have:
Follow the steps below to install Homebrew:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Now that you have Homebrew installed on your system, you can proceed with installing Riemann by following the steps below:
brew update
brew install riemann
After installing Riemann, you can test if it is running correctly by following the steps below:
riemann
echo '{:service "test"}' | nc localhost 5555
INFO [2022-01-01 00:00:00,000] riemann.network: #riemann.codec.Event{:host "localhost", :service "test", :state "ok", :description nil, :tags nil, :metric nil, :time 1640995200000}
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Riemann on your macOS and verified it is working. You can now start configuring Riemann to monitor your system.
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!
