OpenTSDB uses HBase as its storage backend. You can install HBase from the Apache HBase website or by using the following command:

sudo apt-get install hbase

Step 3: Install OpenTSDB

You can download the latest version of OpenTSDB from the official OpenTSDB website:

wget https://github.com/OpenTSDB/opentsdb/releases/download/v2.4.0/opentsdb-2.4.0.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, extract the archive:

tar -zxvf opentsdb-2.4.0.tar.gz

Change your directory to the newly extracted OpenTSDB directory:

cd opentsdb-2.4.0/

Build and install OpenTSDB:

./build.sh
sudo make install

Step 4: Configure OpenTSDB

OpenTSDB comes with a default configuration file that you can use as a starting point. Copy the default configuration file to the OpenTSDB configuration directory:

sudo cp src/opentsdb.conf /etc/opentsdb/opentsdb.conf

Edit the configuration file to customize the settings according to your needs. You can use any text editor to edit the configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/opentsdb/opentsdb.conf

Step 5: Start OpenTSDB

You can start OpenTSDB by running the following command:

sudo /usr/local/share/opentsdb/bin/tsdb tsd --config=/etc/opentsdb/opentsdb.conf

You should see the following output:

tsd/local: creating initial storage HTable...
