1 OpenSource Monitoring Distribution - OMD
2 ----------------------------------------
4 OMD is nothing really new. It bundles existing and well known open source
5 software related to nagios to ease the installation process.
7 Installing omd consists of three steps:
9 1a) Build omd for a specific plattform, i.e. debian/lenny i386 from the
10 sources. You get a simple tarball:
12 ./configure && make && make pack
14 2a) Extract the tarball which installs the omd package to /opt/omd
16 tar xvzf omd-<your-version>.tar.gz -C /
18 3) Create a site with omd and start the daemons:
23 To be more comfort with your favorite distribution, omd support building
24 native distribution packages - this is only available for some dists.
25 Replace the steps 1) and 2):
27 1b) Create a debian package
31 2b) Install the package
33 dpkg -i omd_<current-version>_i386.deb
35 For further help there is a short manpage available: 'man 8 omd', or type
36 'omd' without any argument.
