🚀 Build a Cloud Cost Monitoring System with Komiser! 💻


🚀 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
