IMEdge ships a bunch of powerful components for your Open Source Monitoring environment. As in Edge Computing best practices, this brings processing closer to the data source.

Installation

Preparation on RHEL/CentOS/Alma/Rocky (8 and 9)

PHP is outdated on RHEL/CentOS/Others v8 and v9, therefore we're going to install a recent PHP version via REMI. We'll disable the repository by default

Please note that this is not touching your default PHP installation, if any. The IMEdge Node package has no hard dependency on a specific PHP version, but assumes a recent version (>= 8.1) being installed and available.

Install REMI repository on RHEL/CentOS/Alma/Rocky 8

dnf -y install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm

Install REMI repository on RHEL/CentOS/Alma/Rocky 9

dnf -y install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-9.rpm

Disable the REMI repository by default

dnf config-manager --set-disabled remi-modular --set-disabled remi-safe

Add REMI path to IMEdge node daemons path

echo PATH="/opt/remi/php83/root/usr/bin:/opt/remi/php83/root/usr/sbin:$PATH" \
  > /etc/default/imedge

Install IMEdge node on RHEL/CentOS/Alma/Rocky (8 and 9)

Now we're ready to install the latest IMEdge node package and a bunch of related feature packages:

dnf -y install \
  https://github.com/im-edge/node/releases/download/v0.12.0/imedge-node-0.12.0-1.noarch.rpm \
  https://github.com/im-edge/inventory-feature/releases/download/v0.14.0/imedge-feature-inventory-0.14.0-1.noarch.rpm \
