## Overview

Devo Relay should be installed preferably on a system running Ubuntu. This can be a virtual machine or an actual box. 

> ⚠️ The hostname of the machine on which you install the relay must not contain dots.

- [Install Devo Relay on a Red Hat or CentOS box](https://devodocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/latest/pages/96469129)
- [Install Devo Relay with docker-compose](https://devodocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/latest/pages/96469160)

Once you've installed the relay, you can set up the relay [settings](https://devodocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/latest/pages/96469609) and [rules](https://devodocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/latest/pages/96469377). You can also [configure a high-availability relay](https://devodocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/latest/pages/96469189) for failover capability.

## Monitor relay logs

**devo-monitor** is a package that installs scripts that monitor machine status (CPU, memory, IO traffic) so their values can be sent to Devo through the relay. Learn how to install it in the configuration articles mentioned above.

The events collected by this package will be available in the `box.stat.unix.*` tables of your Devo domain. Learn more about this table [in this article](https://devodocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/latest/pages/348225610).
