librato / agent Goto Github PK

The fact that Librato does not have an installer for MacOS makes me question its maturity.

Synology DSM is a proprietary distribution of Linux that is used on all Synology products. They use ipkg packages for distribution.

Still, considering the fact that's a Linux and the fact that power users can obtain root access to the device we could find acceptable to use a curl-pipe-bash installation method.

I don't work for Synology but I used it at home and I will be happy to provide support for this.

It seems that there are other users interested about the same thing and if you could provide some basic information that we can use as a starting point we may end-up being able to build a relatively generic bash installer.

I just tried to install the librato agent on Ubuntu 16.04 but failed doing so either with running the automatic installer or installing it manually after checking out what exactly the installer script is doing. Putting librato.conf inside /etc/collectd/collectd.conf.d and changing some values related to hostname in /etc/collectd/collectd.conf didn't seem to help. I guess you do some more modifications to collectd which I can't figure out by simply peeking into the installer script.

Please add support for Ubuntu 16.04 👍

Please add support for Ubuntu 18.04.

Currently, installing fails with:

The repository is setup! You can now install packages.

Note that confusingly the installer nevertheless shows its success message after these error messages, so at first I didn’t even notice that it hadn’t worked.

If I understand correctly the errors are because there is no package for 18.04 (“bionic”), because eventhough https://packagecloud.io/librato/librato-collectd/ubuntu/ was added as an additional apt source, apt-cache showpkg collectd shows only the version from Ubuntu itself:

Seems there isn't support for Debian Stretch
