Configuration

Create a monitoring site

We start with creating a monitoring site. In this example the site is simply named "monitoring"

sudo omd create monitoring

now there should be some kind of feedback like this:

Created new site monitoring with version 3.30-labs-edition.`

The site can be started with omd start monitoring.`
The default web UI is available at https://omd/monitoring/`

The admin user for the web applications is omdadmin with password: 4uz4R4P4`
(It can be changed with the 'set_admin_password' command as site user.)`

Please do a su - monitoring for administration of this site.

Important: there' a new user "omdadmin" with a random passwort created. Please note the password, we will need it later.

enable additional features

Next step: we need to enable some additional features in order to generate performance data with Grafana, therefore we use sudo omd config monitoring in order to enable the additional features.

Go to addons and enable Grafana, Nagflux and InfluxDB

Then Exit the config screen

Once all addons are enabled we can start our newly created site:

sudo omd start monitoring

The site should start and you should get some kind of reply:

Starting influxdb......first run, waiting for initial _internal database..OK
Starting rrdcached...OK
Starting Grafana...OK
Starting npcd...OK
Starting naemon...OK
Starting dedicated Apache for site icinga...OK
