Installing Prometheus Bash Script

Installing monitors like Grafana would be very helpful for us. As one of the most used datasource, I decided to make a script on how to install prometheus.

#!/bin/bash
# Installing Prometheus

if [ -f "/usr/local/prometheus" ]; then
    echo "Prometheus already exists ..."
    exit
fi


# tput commands
CLEAR="tput clear"
DOWN="tput cud1"
BOLD="tput bold"
NORMAL="tput sgr0"
BLACK="tput setaf 0"
RED="tput setaf 1"
GREEN="tput setaf 2"
YELLOW="tput setaf 3"
BLUE="tput setaf 4"


$CLEAR

printf "Installing Prometheus\n\n"
# Curling Google to check if connected to a network
printf "Looling for a network...\n\n"
if curl google.com > /dev/null; then
    $DOWN
    $YELLOW
    printf "Network connected.\n\n"
    $NORMAL
else
    $DOWN
    printf "The server is not connected to the network. Please connect and try again.\n\n";
    exit 1
fi

    wget https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/download/v$VERSION/prometheus-$VERSION.linux-amd64.tar.gz -P /opt

# extract the file
