[Monitorix-general] Can't install monitorix on rhel 6.5

[O'Reilly, Dan]

I can't installed Monitorix 3.5.1 on RHEL 6.5, as you can see below. The basic problem is, where the heck do I find the perl(RRDs)? I've been unable to find that anywhere.

# yum install monitorix-3.5.1-1.noarch.rpm

Hello Dan,

AFAIK, the packages rrdtool-1.3.8-6.el6.x86_64 and
rrdtool-perl-1.3.8-6.el6.x86_64 are part of the standard RHEL
distribution. So you shouldn't have any problem to install them like this:

# yum install rrdtool rrdtool-perl

In fact, there are a few packages that are not provided by the standard
repositories, like: perl-HTTP-Server-Simple and
perl-HTTP-Server-Simple-CGI (and perhaps some more). I recommend you to
download them directly from the EPEL repository.

Let me know if that helped you.
Best regards.
