Opsview Apt repository for Debian and Ubuntu Linux

The easiest way to install Opsview is to use our apt repository.

Information on supported releases can be found here

For security, this repository is gpg signed. To import our gpg keys, run:

sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 77CB2CF6
sudo gpg --export --armor 77CB2CF6 | sudo apt-key add -

Occasionally the service at subkeys.pgp.net is congested, please be patient. If you do not import our gpg keys, you could see errors such as:

W: GPG error: http://downloads.opsera.com etch Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY FB4C675977CB2CF6

The “NO_PUBKEY” portion of this message indicates that your system does not have the public key for this repository and so cannot verify its contents.

To install Opsview, use your favourite editor to edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list (or create a new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opsview.list) and add the following line to it:

  # Opsview packages
  deb http://downloads.opsera.com/opsview-community/latest/apt <OS> main

Opsview Enterprise Subscription users should instead use:

  # Opsview packages - this requires authentication
  deb http://<username>:<password>@downloads.opsera.com/opsview-enterprise/latest/apt <OS> main

Where:

• OS is your distribution name, such as etch, lenny or hardy

For example, community users can use:

deb http://downloads.opsera.com/opsview-community/latest/apt lenny main

Opsview Enterprise Subscription users can specify the version of Opsview if they do not want to track the latest enterprise version (use the major version instead of latest such as 3.4 or 3.6, etc)

For example, enterprise users can use the following for tracking major releases:

deb http://user:pass@downloads.opsera.com/opsview-enterprise/latest/apt etch main

or the following for only tracking releases of 3.2:

deb http://user:pass@downloads.opsera.com/opsview-enterprise/3.6/apt etch main

NOTE: Opsview Enterprise Subscription systems based on Debian Lenny (or later) should also install apt-transport-https and use https rather than http
