opCharts: Complete Dashboarding Solution To Visualize IT Infrastructure

What is opCharts?

Interactive Dashboards And Charts

Through the use of user-defined metadata, opCharts combines and sorts devices into dynamic groups providing key performance metrics at every level.

opCharts’ built-in ability to roll-up and provide high-level abstracted user views, while still allowing a quick drill-down into detailed performance metrics, provides fast access to information to those who need it most.

Developed to display large amounts of data through a dynamically responsive interface, opCharts allows users to see the live state and history of all systems all on the same page.

Quick Setup

Install +

Please note that NMIS must be installed on your machine before adding opCharts or most other FirstWave network management modules. Please ensure you have installed NMIS before installing opCharts. NMIS is the underlying software required to run any of FirstWave’s individual network monitoring and management modules and can be installed on Linux. If you do not have a machine currently running Linux, you can download and install the FirstWave Virtual Machine, which includes NMIS and all FirstWave network monitoring software modules. The following installation guide should be sufficient for most users’ needs. Advanced instructions and troubleshooting are available on the opCharts Wiki.

1. Download the opCharts installer

If you haven’t already, hit the download button above and download the opCharts Installer. The Installer comes as a .run file.

2. Run the Installer in Linux Terminal

Open the Linux Terminal. Start a Terminal instance as the root user through the following command, entering your password when prompted: sudo -i 

If you have not been granted access to the root user, contact your system administrator. Once your terminal session is run by the root user, run the shell command to begin the installation process

sh opCharts-<version number>.run

Press Y or Return/Enter when the installer prompts you. Several times throughout the installation process you will be prompted to approve the various components of the opCharts Module as they are installed on your machine. Please take note of any relevant information as you approve each step. When the installation is complete, the following will print on the Terminal:

You’re now ready to license opCharts.

License +

Good news! Each of FirstWave’s network monitoring software modules offers a free time-unlimited 20-node license. The first time you open each program, you will be given the opportunity to activate a free license.

Time-limited trials are also available if you want to test the software on a larger network, and licenses for running FirstWave’s software modules on larger networks are available by request.
