Bosun Packages and Initialization Scripts Install scollector on CentOS 7
Example
As a privileged user (root or sudo):
Create scollector directory:
mkdir /opt/scollector
In the /opt/scollector directory, download the latest binary build from the bosun/scollector site, [http://bosun.org/scollector/][1]
wget https://github.com/bosun-monitor/bosun/releases/download/"version"/scollector-"OS"-"arch"
ex:
wget https://github.com/bosun-monitor/bosun/releases/download/0.5.0/scollector-linux-amd64
Create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin:
ln -s /opt/scollector/scollector-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/scollector
Create the configuration directory;
mkdir /etc/scollector
Using this guide create your scollector configuration file, scollector.toml
The path for the configuration file is then /etc/scollector/scollector.conf
ex:
Host = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8070" #replace xxx with the IP of your Bosun server
Hostname = "DevOps-Bosun-Prod"
[[ICMP]]
Host = "some.hostname.here"
[[ICMP]]
Host = "some.other.hostname.here"
[tags]
hostgroup = "system"
#[[GoogleAnalytics]]
# ClientID = ""
# Secret = ""
# Token = ""
Create the Service file, /etc/systemd/system/scollector.service
ex:
[Unit]
Description=Scollector Service
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/scollector -conf=/etc/scollector/scollector.toml
Restart=on-abort
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Tell Systemd that you have created a new service:
systemctl enable scollector.service
Start scollector:
systemctl start scollector
You can see if scollector has started by running:
systemctl status scollector
Alternatively, you can view the system message log, you're looking for something like:
Jul 29 23:19:27 bosun-prod systemd: Started Scollector Service.
Jul 29 23:19:27 bosun-prod systemd: Starting Scollector Service...
Jul 29 23:19:27 bosun-prod scollector[4363]: info: main.go:213: OpenTSDB host: http://127.0.0.1:8070
