How do I install OpsView?

Question

Trying to install opsview onto lucid. However, I'm not sure of the exact commands to run after altering the /etc/apt/sources.list file. What commands are necessary after that?

Answer 1

For Opsview community edition:

Add the appropriate repository. AFAIK only LTS versions are supported. For Lucid 10.04 this would be:

deb http://downloads.opsera.com/opsview-community/latest/apt lucid main

Import the GPG key for this repo:

sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 77CB2CF6
sudo gpg --export --armor 77CB2CF6 | sudo apt-key add -

Then you should be able to install opsview from CLI as karthick87 already pointed out. You can also use Synaptic for both, updating your sources list, and installation in case you are more compfortable using a GUI.

For Opsview enterprise edition please ask for support from Opsera.
