Falcon+

Notice

If you are heavily using k8s and adopting microservices architecture, we recommend you to upgrade to use Nightingale building your modern monitoring system.

• Nightingale is an enterprise-level cloud-native monitoring tool, which can be used as drop-in replacement of Prometheus for alerting and management.
• Categraf is one-stop telemetry collector for Nightingale / Prometheus / M3DB / VictoriaMetrics / Thanos / Influxdb / TDengine.

It is recommended that you use FlashDuty as the OnCall system to realize alarm aggregation convergence, claiming, upgrading, scheduling, and coordination, so that the alarm can be reached efficiently and ensure that the alarm processing is not missed.

before start, please make sure you prepared this:

yum install -y redis
yum install -y mysql-server

NOTE: be sure to check redis and mysql-server have successfully started.

And then

# Please make sure that you have set `$GOPATH` and `$GOROOT` correctly.
# If you have not golang in your host, please follow [https://golang.org/doc/install] to install golang.

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/open-falcon
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/open-falcon
git clone https://github.com/open-falcon/falcon-plus.git

And do not forget to init the database first (if you have not loaded the database schema before)

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/open-falcon/falcon-plus/scripts/mysql/db_schema/
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p < 1_uic-db-schema.sql
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p < 2_portal-db-schema.sql
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p < 3_dashboard-db-schema.sql
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p < 4_graph-db-schema.sql
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p < 5_alarms-db-schema.sql

NOTE: if you are upgrading from v0.1 to v0.2.0(or above),then. More upgrading instruction

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p < 5_alarms-db-schema.sql

mkdir -p $WorkDir
tar -xzvf open-falcon-vx.x.x.tar.gz -C $WorkDir
cd $WorkDir

Start all modules in single host

cd $WorkDir
./open-falcon start
