Back to Servers

Linux Server Monitoring Setup

Supported Distributions: Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, and other Linux distributions with bash support.

Download the Monitoring Script

Download the Linux monitoring script to your server.

wget https://monitor.te.com.tr/downloads/te-monitor.sh

Note: The script will be downloaded to your current directory.

Make Script Executable

Set execute permissions for the script.

chmod +x te-monitor.sh

Install Required Dependencies

Install curl and bc packages if not already installed.

For Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y curl bc

For CentOS/RHEL/Fedora:

sudo yum install -y curl bc

For Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S curl bc

Get Your API Key

From the Servers page, click the key icon next to your server to get the API key.

API Key: You'll need this unique key to authenticate your server with the monitoring system.

Run the Monitoring Script

Start monitoring with your API key.

./te-monitor.sh -k "YOUR_API_KEY"

Success: If everything is working correctly, you should see "SUCCESS: Metrics sent successfully" messages.

🚀 Run in Background (Production)

For production servers, run the monitoring script silently in the background.

nohup ./te-monitor.sh -k "YOUR_API_KEY" > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Background Execution: This command runs the script silently in the background. Replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with your actual API key.

Important: The script will continue running even after you log out. To stop it, you'll need to find and kill the process.

Verify Monitoring

Check that your server appears online in the NetSentryAlert dashboard.

Verification: Go to the Servers page and verify that your Linux server shows as "online" with real-time metrics in TE Monitor dashboard.

Troubleshooting

If you get "Permission denied" error:

chmod +x te-monitor.sh

Install required packages:

                                        sudo apt-get install curl bc  # Ubuntu/Debian
sudo yum install curl bc      # CentOS/RHEL
                                    

Check network connectivity and firewall settings:

                                        curl -I https://your-server-url.com
telnet your-server-url.com 443
