How to Install eZ Server Monitor on OpenSUSE Latest

eZ Server Monitor is a lightweight and easy-to-use server monitoring tool that allows you to keep an eye on your servers' performance and health. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing eZ Server Monitor on OpenSUSE latest version.

Prerequisites

Before we start, you need to make sure that you have the following requirements:

  • A running instance of OpenSUSE latest version.
  • Root or sudo access to your server.
  • Internet Connection

Installation Process

  1. First, you need to download the eZ Server Monitor package from the official website. You can download it using the following command:
wget https://github.com/shevabam/ezservermonitor-web/archive/master.zip
  1. Next, extract the downloaded package using the unzip command:
unzip master.zip
  1. Now, move the extracted folder to the /usr/share/ directory:
sudo mv ezservermonitor-web-master/ /usr/share/ezservermonitor
  1. Next, you need to install the required PHP packages and extensions. You can install them with the following command:
sudo zypper install apache2 apache2-mod_php7 php7 php7-ctype php7-dom php7-gd php7-json php7-mbstring php7-posix php7-session php7-simplexml php7-sockets php7-sqlite3 php7-xmlwriter php7-zip
  1. After installing the PHP packages, you need to configure the Apache webserver to serve the eZ Server Monitor files. For that, create a new virtual host configuration file for eZ Server Monitor using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/ezservermonitor.conf
  1. Next, add the following configuration to the file.
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot /usr/share/ezservermonitor
    ServerName example.com
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/ezservermonitor_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/ezservermonitor_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

  1. Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, followed by Y and Enter.

  2. Restart the Apache webserver to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart apache2
  1. Finally, Go to the browser of your choice and type the server IP along with the port number 80 (e.g., http://yourServerIP:80) in your url address bar, and you will see the eZ Server Monitor login page.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed and configured eZ Server Monitor on your OpenSUSE server. You can now monitor your servers' performance and health with ease.
