So today we will take a look at setting up Monitorix on our Ubuntu box.

We will use this to see pretty graphs of our server, and find out what it is doing, and how it is coping with the loads put on it.

First, we have to add the respository
Add this line at the end off /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://apt.izzysoft.de/ubuntu generic universe

Then be sure to apt-get update
Then go ahead and install the pacakage:
apt-get install monitorix

By default it runs on port 8080 🙂
