Thruk is a web-based open source monitoring interface that makes it easy to monitor and manage your Nagios, Icinga, and Shinken monitoring systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Thruk on macOS.
Before starting with the installation process, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, you need to update Homebrew, which is the package manager for macOS. To do this, run the following command:
brew update
Next, we need to install Apache. To do this, run the following command:
brew install httpd
Once the installation is complete, start Apache by running the following command:
sudo apachectl start
Next, we need to install Thruk. Run the following command:
brew install thruk
Next, we need to configure Apache to work with Thruk. To do this, edit the Apache configuration file /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf.
Add the following lines to the end of the file:
Alias /thruk /usr/local/opt/thruk/libexec/thruk
<Location /thruk>
ProxyPass http://localhost:3000/thruk
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:3000/thruk
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>
Save and close the file.
Finally, we need to start Thruk. Run the following command:
thruk_setup
The setup wizard will guide you through the process of configuring Thruk.
Once the setup wizard is complete, start Thruk by running the following command:
thruk
Thruk is now installed on your macOS machine and is accessible through your browser at http://localhost/thruk.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Thruk on your macOS machine using Homebrew. You can now start using Thruk to monitor and manage your Nagios, Icinga, and Shinken monitoring systems.
