Monitoring Installation Frustration: A Personal Experience

I recently attempted to install Monitorian 4.4.6 on my new CentOS 8 box, following the instructions to the letter. Unfortunately, this experience was met with frustration and disappointment. As someone who has limited experience in Linux, I relied heavily on the documentation provided by Nagios Core for guidance.

To my surprise, the documentation failed to mention specific product version requirements or even mention the word 'Nagios' once. The instructions did not provide any information about version constraints, making it difficult for me to proceed with the installation process. Despite this, I decided to follow the instructions specifically designed for CentOS 8, hoping that it would lead to a successful installation.

However, after completing the installation steps, I was left without any clear guidance on how to proceed. It was at this point that I realized the importance of searching for additional resources to aid in my troubleshooting efforts. I eventually found the correct installation instructions for my specific environment on the Nagios Core website, which led me to a page titled 'How to install Livestatus onto your monitoring box.'

In order to successfully install Thruk, I had to navigate through multiple pages and guides, including the official Nagios Core installation guide. This experience was particularly challenging for someone with limited Linux experience like myself.

For those who may be facing similar issues, I would recommend being patient and persistent in your search for the correct installation instructions. It is also essential to keep an eye out for specific product version requirements and not rely solely on the initial documentation provided. With persistence and determination, you can overcome the challenges associated with installing Monitorian 4.4.6.

I hope that this personal experience serves as a reminder of the importance of clear and concise documentation in the technology industry. By providing users with detailed instructions and specific product version requirements, developers can reduce the likelihood of frustration and disappointment experienced by end-users like myself.
