Installation

Linux

Run the following command to download and run the installer:

wget -O /opt/stackbeat-installer.sh https://downloads.zarbyte.net/stackbeat/installer.sh && bash /opt/stackbeat-installer.sh

Adjusting the settings at this stage is optional. The default settings will function for initial setup and testing purposes. You can adjust settings later at any time.

If you would like to adjust them now, view /opt/stackbeat/config.ini and set as appropriate for your needs.

Running the Services

The main serivce is started automatically after installation. You can manage it manually with:

systemctl start stackbeat

systemctl stop stackbeat

systemctl restart stackbeat

Start the monitor service on all systems you want monitored and reporting back to the main:

/opt/stackbeat/stackbeat monitor

The main service has a thread for self monitoring. It will collect and report its own stats into memory and report the hostname as main.

You will not need to run an additional monitor service if you want the main monitored. If you do not want main monitored, you can disable Main Self Monitoring in config.ini.

---

Mac
