zypper package management tool examples for managing packages on SUSE Linux

Posted by | Mar 26, 2021 | , |

Introduction The zypper package management tool performs the same function for SUSE Linux as yum and apt perform for RedHat and Debian based systems respectively. SUSE (Software and System Entwicklung (Germany) meaning Software and System Development, in English) Linux runs on top of the open-source Linux kernel. The SUSE Linux distribution is available in two variants, a community-driven project named OpenSUSE and a commercial version named SUSE Linux Enterprise. Zypper and YaST are the two command line tools used for package management in OpenSUSE and SUSE Enterprise Linux platforms. Both tools work on top of RPM. Zypper uses the libzypp library which provides the ZYpp package manager. ZYpp is a Linux software management engine and open source project originally sponsored by Novell and provides a powerful dependency resolver and a convenient package management API. In this article, we will show you how to use the zypper package management tool to search for, install and remove packages along with a few other uses. We will be using the SUSE Enterprise Linux version 12 for the examples demonstrated in this article.   Example 1: Search for a Specific Package To search for a package from a repository we use the zypper search command followed by the package name we want to search for. To demonstrate, let’s search for the package name git. linuxnix:~ # zypper search git Loading repository data... Reading...

Introduction In our earlier articles on nagios we explained in detail how to install nagios core on the centos 6 system and configure it. In this article we will explain step by step how to monitor a remote machine with nagios core. Prerequisites: We will be installing the packages required for configuring nagios on a client machine using the EPEL repository therefore it must be enabled on the system. Please go through our article on how to enable the EPEL repository if you are unfamiliar about how to do so. Install NRPE and nagios plugins Now we will install the nrpe package along with nagios plugins using yum. [ssuri@nagios-client:~] $ sudo yum install nrpe nagios-plugins-all Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.

Installing Nagios on Centos 7

Posted by | Feb 24, 2021 | |

Introduction Nagios is an extremely popular open source monitoring and alerting tool. The name nagios is an offshoot of an older system called ‘net saint’. Although Nagios has it’s limits and is not an all in one solution but provides a considerable feature set nonetheless. The monitoring platform is available in two variants: Nagios core which is the open source and free variant and Nagios XI which is the enterprise version. In this article we will demonstrate step by step how to install the latest version of Nagios core on a Centos 7 system. Step 1: Install prerequisites for Nagios Nagios requires a web server like apache or nginx and it also requires php for some of its’ functionality. We will be installing Nagios from source and will therefore require some packages to help us compile Nagios core from source and install it. The dependencies could be installed using the following yum command. [ssuri@linuxnix:~] $ sudo yum install gcc glibc glibc-common gd gd-devel make net-snmp openssl-devel xinetd unzip -y Loaded plugins: langpacks, rhnplugin This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite. Package gcc-4.8.5-28.el7_5.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package glibc-2.17-222.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package glibc-common-2.17-222.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package gd-2.0.35-26.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package 1:make-3.82-23.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package 1:net-snmp-5.7.2-33.el7_5.2.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package unzip-6.0-19.el7.x86_64...
