monit-graphite is a quick'n'dirty fabric script to install Monit on a debian squeeze box
I couldn't find a backport install and I like fabric, so it keeps all the installation steps. It's easier than writing a blog post and documenting each step
- Workstation running python (version 2.7 recommended). All platforms should be supported.
- Fabric - can be installed via
pip install fabricoreasy_install fabric - a server running a Debian squeeze
Best to execute this on a clean virtual machine running Debian 6 (Squeeze).
run fab monit_install -H root@{hostname}
(hostname should be the name of a virtual server you're installing onto)
It might prompt you for the root password on the host you are trying to instal onto.
You can use it with a user other than root, as long as this user can sudo.
Please try this at your own risk. Please run this only with a newly installed host that you can easily throw away! I tested it only with Debian 6 on EC2.
