Manual Installation

Tip

To get Moira running quickly, try Docker version

There are following components you need to install before running Moira microservices:

  1. golang version 1.9 or higher

  2. redis database version 3.2 or higher

  3. web server e.g. nginx

Build Moira Microservices

go get -u github.com/moira-alert/moira
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/moira-alert/moira
make build

You will find binaries in $GOPATH/src/github.com/moira-alert/moira/build.

Download Web UI Application

https://github.com/moira-alert/web2.0/releases/latest

Download and unpack .tar.gz file into Nginx static files directory (e.g. /var/local/www/moira).

Configure

  1. If you need to override default settings, place configuration files somewhere on your disk (e.g. /etc/moira/). You can dive into Configuration syntax on a separate page.

  2. Place nginx configuration file to proper location (e.g. /etc/nginx/conf.d/moira.conf):

server {
    listen 127.0.0.1:80;
    location / {
        root /var/local/www/moira;
        index index.html;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }
    location /api/ {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081;
    }
}

3. If you need to override UI settings, edit web.json file. You can find its location in API configuration.

Run

  1. Run nginx and redis-server

  2. Run microservices

$GOPATH/src/github.com/moira-alert/moira/build/cache
$GOPATH/src/github.com/moira-alert/moira/build/checker
$GOPATH/src/github.com/moira-alert/moira/build/notifier
$GOPATH/src/github.com/moira-alert/moira/build/api

Now you need to feed your metrics to Moira (see Feeding Metrics to Moira) on port 2003 and to create alerts in UI (see User Guide).
