August 24, 20169 yr Hey All, I would like to test out using datadog locally as an install. However, one of their prereqs is to use the sysstat package. I was looking around for a recent systat package for slackware, but I haven't found one. I was looking into building one myself, but I don't have much experience in building slackware packages. I found the following link http://www.slackwiki.com/Building_A_Package , and thought that I would try it, but I don't know if there is anything specific I have to do for unraid to build packages, or if I could just accept the defaults like it is currently in the doc. I also don't know if in fact that datadog agent would work. I just thought I would try it out, and see if I could get it to work for Unraid.
August 24, 20169 yr Community Expert Unraid does not have the requisite tools to build packages. You have to build them on another system running the same Kernel/slackware versions and then copy the binaries across.
August 24, 20169 yr Author Thanks. Can I use the defaults they have documented or are the specific things that need to be changed?
August 24, 20169 yr There is really no need to compile sysstat yourself. It is available from the slackware repository. See http://packages.slackware.com/?r=slackware64-current&p=sysstat-11.2.1.1-x86_64-1.txz
