How To Install sysusage on Fedora 34

sysusage is System monitoring based on Perl, rrdtool, and sysstat

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install sysusage on Fedora 34.

What is sysusage

SysUsage continuously monitor your systems information and generate periodic graphical reports using rrdtool or JavaScript jqplot library. All reports are shown through a web interface. SysUsage grabs all system activities using Sar and system commands allowing you to keep tracks of your computer or server activity during its life. It is a great help for performance analysis and resources management. The threshold notification can alarm you when the system capabilities are reached by sending SMTP messages or through Nagios reports. By default it will monitor all you need to know on your server activity, it is written in Perl and should works on all Unix like platforms. It doesn’t require a Database system like MySQL or PostgreSQL but relies on rrdtool. In addition you can embedded your own plugins written in any programming language. Since release 5.0 SysUsage can be run from a centralized place where collected statistics will be stored and where graphics will be rendered. Unlike other monitoring tools with lot of administration work, SysUsage is design to have the least possible things to configure and a high level of admin system knowledge. Each server can also be self monitored and you just have to connect your browser to the web interface to know its health level. SysUsage is design with simplicity in mind. providing all relevant statistics from the servers within an intuitive web interface and without spending too much time to configure it, if you know Nagios, you know what I mean. You will especially like SysUsage for that.

We can use yum or dnf to install sysusage on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install sysusage.

Install sysusage on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00

Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install sysusage using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install sysusage

Install sysusage on Fedora 34 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00
