Monitor GNU / Linux in real time with Netdata.

Surfing the Internet one day I found a program to graphically monitor the processes, network, memory and other interesting things of a PC. Well I thought it was very good, so I decided to share it with all of you and it is about Netdata.

What is NetData?

netdata is a tool of open source, that allows us: real-time monitoring of a computer's performance. It provides unrivaled, real-time insights into everything that happens on the system you run (including applications such as web or database servers), using modern interactive web panels.

netdata It is fast and efficient, designed to work permanently on all systems, without interrupting their functions.

How to install NetData?

Next we are going to give the steps to install NetData on Debian, but it can also be done on Arch, Gentoo, CentOS, Fedora and Suse.

Remember to run the commands with root permissions.

# apt-get install zlib1g-dev uuid-dev libmnl-dev gcc make git autoconf # apt-get install autoconf-archive autogen automake pkg-config curl

Now we will clone the program from its repository on Github.

  • #git clone https://github.com/firehol/netdata.git --depth = 1
    

We move to your directory

 #CD Network data

We start the installer

#. / netdata-installer.sh Or you can do it with. #sh netdata-installer.sh

If no error appears up to here, the whole process is fine, now we will make Netdata start as a daemon, to manage it with systemctl.

  • # kill the netdata process
    #killall netdata
    
    # copy netdata.service to systemd
    #cp system / netdata.service / etc / systemd / system /
    
    # Reload the demon
    #systemctl daemon-reload
    
    # Enable Netdata
    #systemctl enable Network data
    
    # Start netdata
    #service netdata start

How to use Netdata?

Once we have Netdata Installed, now we are going to work with it. We open a browser window and place this http://localhost:19999

And they will already have Netdata monitoring everything the system does.

Well that has been all I hope you liked it and see you soon. I just translated a bit and synthesized the installation.

    if the server is remote it works the same?

      Hi Miguel, honestly I have never tried it but you can do the test, it works for any OS.

    Maybe some similar application for a Solaris 10?

    1.    b4cks41l said

      It seems to me that Solaris executes any program of type .RPM oh I think that whatever is from GNU / Linux, I don't know anything about Solaris, but you can try installing it as if it were a CentOS.
