Monitorix monitors your Linux host

Note: The article is a little old and is for reference only!

Recently, I installed the Monitorix tool on my managed Linux host. This is a set of tools that can monitor the system status. There are many projects that can be monitored. You can also set the services to be monitored by yourself, by default, you can analyze the CPU and memory Usage, Disk I/O usage, Network traffic and Usage, and network services demand), user login status ,.... and so on. It also provides very detailed Web reports. The following is a report for one of my hosts.

Although the installation instructions for Ubuntu Linux 7.10/8.04 were provided on the official website at that time, some steps were not the same when I installed Ubuntu Linux 8.04. The following are the installation notes:
