  1. First, we will download the Node Exporter on all machines : check the download version available from here. wget https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases/download/v1.2.2/node_exporter-1.2.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz Extract the downloaded archive tar -xf node_exporter-1.2.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz Move the node_exporter binary to /usr/local/bin: sudo mv node_exporter-1.2.2.linux-amd64/node_exporter /usr/local/bin Remove the residual files with: rm -r node_exporter-1.2.2.linux-amd64* Next, we will create users and service files for node_exporter. For security reasons, it is always recommended to run any services/daemons in separate accounts of their own. Thus, we are going to create an user account for node_exporter. We have used the -r flag to indicate it is a system account, and set the default shell to /bin/false using -s to prevent logins. sudo useradd -rs /bin/false node_exporter Then, we will create a systemd unit file so that node_exporter can be started at boot. sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/node_exporter.service [Unit] Description=Node Exporter After=network.target [Service] User=node_exporter Group=node_exporter Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node_exporter [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Since we have created a new unit file, we must reload the systemd daemon, set the service to always run at boot and start it : sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable node_exporter sudo systemctl start node_exporter sudo systemctl status node_exporter Configure UFW / Firewall Ubuntu : sudo ufw allow from 10.0.0.46 to any port 9100 sudo ufw status numbered
  2. Prometheus is an open-source system and service monitoring and alerting tool used for recording real-time services and collecting metrics in a time-series database. It s written in Go and licensed under the Apache 2 License originally developed by SoundCloud.In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Prometheus on Ubuntu 20.04 server, which can be done easily if you follow it step by step Requirements: For the purposes of this tutorial, we will use an Ubuntu20.04 VPS. Access to the root user account (or a user with sudo privileges) Step 1: Log in to the Server & Update the Server OS Packages First, log in to your Ubuntu 20.04 server via SSH as the root use ssh root@IP_ADDRESS -p PORT_NUMBER Don’t forget to replace IP_Address and Port_Number with your server’s actual IP address and the SSH port number. Also, you should replace ‘root’ with the username of the admin account if needed. Once you are in, run the following commands to update the package index and upgrade all installed packages to the latest available version. apt-get update apt-get upgrade Step 2. Creating Prometheus System Users and Directory The Prometheus server requires a service user account to run. You can name your user however you like, but we will create a user named prometheus. This user will be a system user (-r) who will be unable to get a shell (-s /bin/false) useradd --no-create-home -rs /bin/false prometheus Also, we need to create directories for configuration files and other Prometheus data. mkdir /etc/prometheus mkdir /var/lib/prometheus Now we will have to update the group and user ownership on the newly created directories. chown prometheus:prometheus /etc/prometheus chown prometheus:prometheus /var/lib/prometheus Step 3. Download Prometheus Binary File Prometheus is included by default on the Ubuntu 20.04 repositories. apt-cache policy prometheus prometheus: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2.15.2+ds-2 Version table: 2.15.2+ds-2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages However, the Prometheus release version provided by the default Ubuntu repositories may not be up-to-date. At the time of writing this article, the latest stable version of Prometheus is 2.30.3. But before downloading, visit the official Prometheus downloads page and check if there is a new version available. You can download it using the following command: wget https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/download/v2.30.3/prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz Once the tarball is downloaded, verify the tarball checksum with the following command: sha256sum prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz You should see an output that looks similar to the one below: 1ccd386d05f73a98b69aa5e0ed31fffac95cd9dadf7df1540daf2f182c5287e2 prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz Compare the hash value from the above output to the checksum value on the Prometheus download page. If they match, that means the file’s integrity is validated. Now you have successfully downloaded the Prometheus file and now you will extract it to the /opt directory using the tar command: tar xvzf prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /opt Next, you need to copy the binary files to /usr/local/bin directory and fix the permissions. This is done with the following commands: mv /opt/prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64/prometheus /opt/prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64/promtool /usr/local/bin/ chown prometheus:prometheus /usr/local/bin/prometheus /usr/local/bin/promtool Also, we need to copy the consoles and console_libraries directories to Prometheus configuration directory, /etc/prometheus mv /opt/prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64/consoles /opt/prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64/console_libraries /etc/prometheus/ chown -R prometheus:prometheus /etc/prometheus/consoles /etc/prometheus/console_libraries Step 4: Create Prometheus Configuration file Prometheus configuration file has been prepared and available on the extracted archive folder, and you need just to copy it to the Prometheus configuration /etc/prometheus directory. mv /opt/prometheus-2.30.3.linux-amd64/prometheus.yml /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml chown prometheus:prometheus /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml The content of the prometheus.yml file: # my global config global: scrape_interval: 15s # Set the scrape interval to every 15 seconds. Default is every 1 minute. evaluation_interval: 15s # Evaluate rules every 15 seconds. The default is every 1 minute. # scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s). # Alertmanager configuration alerting: alertmanagers: - static_configs: - targets: # - alertmanager:9093 # Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evaluation_interval'. rule_files: # - "first_rules.yml" # - "second_rules.yml" # A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape: # Here it's Prometheus itself. scrape_configs: # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config. - job_name: "prometheus" # metrics_path defaults to '/metrics' # scheme defaults to 'http'. static_configs: - targets: ["localhost:9090"] The configuration is set up to scrape every 15 seconds and Prometheus listens on port 9090. Linux server scrape example: global: scrape_interval: 1s scrape_configs: - job_name: 'prometheus' scrape_interval: 5s static_configs: - targets: ['prometheus.linux-network.home:9090'] - targets: ['plex.linux-network.home:9100'] - targets: ['grafana.linux-network.home:9100'] - targets: ['NS1.linux-network.home:9100'] - targets: ['NS2.linux-network.home:9100'] - targets: ['WEB1.linux-network.home:9100'] - targets: ['DB1.linux-network.home:9100'] - targets: ['PVE2.linux-network.home:9100'] Step 5: Create Prometheus Systemd Service file Now we need to create a system service file. nano /etc/systemd/system/prometheus.service In that file, add the following content: [Unit] Description=Prometheus Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target [Service] User=prometheus Group=prometheus Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/prometheus \ --config.file /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml \ --storage.tsdb.path /var/lib/prometheus/ \ --web.console.templates=/etc/prometheus/consoles \ --web.console.libraries=/etc/prometheus/console_libraries [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target After adding the content save and close the file. To use the newly created service you will have to reload the daemon services, Use the below command to reload daemon services. systemctl daemon-reload You can now start and enable Prometheus service using the below commands: systemctl start prometheus systemctl enable prometheus To check and verify the status of your Prometheus service, run the following command: systemctl status prometheus Output : ● prometheus.service - Prometheus Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/prometheus.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2021-10-23 19:15:21 UTC; 4s ago Main PID: 9884 (prometheus) Tasks: 1 (limit: 2245) Memory: 336.0K CGroup: /system.slice/prometheus.service └─9884 /usr/local/bin/prometheus --config.file /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml --storage.tsdb.path /var/lib/prometheus/ --web.console.templates=/etc/prometheus/consoles --web.console.libraries=/etc/prometheus/console_libraries Prometheus installation and configuration is set up, You can see status Active: active(running) Now Prometheus service is up and running and you can access it from any web browser. http://Your_server_IP:9090 To check the status of your node, go to Status > Targets. That’s it! The installation of Prometheus on Ubuntu 20.04 has been completed.
