🚀 How to Install and Configure Komiser

Here’s a step-by-step guide to get Komiser up and running on your system. Follow these simple instructions to download, install, and configure Komiser for monitoring your AWS resources.

1. Download Komiser Using wget

First, you need to download the Komiser binary. Open your terminal and run the following command:

wget https://cli.komiser.io/latest/komiser_Linux_x86_64 -O komiser

This command downloads the Komiser binary and saves it as komiser.

2. Make the Komiser Binary Executable

After downloading, you need to make the binary executable. Run:

sudo chmod +x komiser

This command sets the necessary permissions to execute the binary.

3. Move the Binary to a Directory in Your PATH

To make Komiser accessible from anywhere, move the binary to a directory in your PATH:

sudo mv komiser /usr/local/bin/

Now, you can run Komiser from any terminal session.

4. Verify the Installation

Check if Komiser is installed correctly by running:

komiser version

You should see the version number of Komiser displayed.


5. Configure AWS Credentials

aws configure

This command will prompt you to enter your:

  • AWS Access Key ID

  • AWS Secret Access Key

  • Default region name

  • Default output format

Create or update your AWS credentials file to include your access keys. Place this file in your cat ~/.aws/credentials directory.

Example AWS Credentials File:

[default]

aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID

aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

create file : vim /home/ubuntu/config.toml

[[aws]]

name = "Demo"

profile = "default"

source = "/home/ubuntu/config.toml" # add config.toml file path

path="/home/ubuntu/.aws/credentials" # add credentials file path

[sqlite]

file = "komiser.db"

[slack]

webhook = ""

reporting = false

6. Komiser start

sudo komiser start --config /home/ubuntu/config.toml

7. Access Komiser

Point your browser to http://localhost:3000 to access the Komiser web interface.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully installed and configured Komiser to start monitoring your AWS resources. 🎉 If you have any questions or run into issues, feel free to ask!
