omd

This role installs and configures OMD (Open Monitoring Distribution).

Requirements

The system needs access to the internet. Also, you will need a Linux installation supported by OMD - e.g.:

• CentOS / Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • 7
  • 8
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
• Debian
  • 10 (Buster)
  • 11 (Bullseye)
• Ubuntu
  • 18.04 (Bionic Beaver)
  • 20.04 (Focal Fossa)
  • 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)

Also make sure to have EPEL enabled for CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems!
