Installation of TeskaLabs LogMan.io Collector using installation script

Prerequisites

  • Hardware or virtual machine. Mind the requirements before installation.
  • OS Linux installed. Preferably Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. See other supported OS versions.
  • Providing separate disk space for the OS and data is crucial for installation stability. Either add two distinct disks to the VM or introduce logical volumes during OS installation.
  • Set the operating system timezone for TeskaLabs LogMan.io to UTC.
  • Allow required communication from the host to the internet and LogMan.io central nodes.

Installation

Download the installation script.

curl -s https://lmio.blob.core.windows.net/library/lmio-collector/install-ubuntu2204.sh -o install-lmio-collector.sh

Run the script.

sudo bash install-lmio-collector.sh
Run the script again to reconfigure the collector

The script creates the configuration and data folders.

Re-run the script to change installation options. Configuration files are overwritten. Data files are not moved or removed when rerunning the script.

  • -c CONF_DIR — Configuration directory. Default: /etc/lmio-collector.
  • -d DATA_DIR — Data directory. Default: /var/lib/lmio-collector.
  • -l LOGMAN_URL — LogMan.io URL. Default: https://app.logman.io.
  • -t CONTAINER_TAG — Container tag. Default: stable.
  • -i — Skip TLS certificate verification (useful for self-signed certificates).
  • -n — Skip installing the daily update cron job.
  • -h — Show the script help message.
