Zabbix Server

Create user and groups for zabbix

groupadd -g 130 zabbix<br></br>
useradd -u 130 -g zabbix -c 'Zabbix monitoring' zabbix```

**Install Dependencies:**

`yum install zlib-devel mysql-devel glibc-devel curl-devel gcc automake mysql libidn-devel openssl-devel net-snmp-devel rpm-devel OpenIPMI-devel`

For Centos 5:


rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm```

For Centos 6:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

<br></br>
yum --enablerepo=epel install iksemel iksemel-devel```

**Download Zabbix:**

`wget -O /usr/src/zabbix.tar.gz http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/zabbix/ZABBIX%20Latest%20Stable/1.8.11/zabbix-1.8.11.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zabbix.com%2Fdownload.php&ts=1334180716&use_mirror=superb-dca2<br></br>`

tar -zxvf zabbix.tar.gz


cd zabbix```

Login to mysql and create database for zabbix:

mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8;<br></br>
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to 'zabbix'@'localhost' identified by 'set-password-here';<br></br>
mysql> quit;```

cd create/schema


cat mysql.sql | mysql -u -p zabbix


cd ../data


cat data.sql | mysql -u -p zabbix


cat images_mysql.sql | mysql -u -p zabbix```

**Now configure the source : **
./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl --with-openipmi --enable-agent --sysconfdir=/etc/zabbix

[ you can use –enable-static to statically link libraries so that you can distribute the binaries on different servers and these binaries will work without libraries. ]

make install

update /etc/services with standard zabbix ports:

zabbix-agent 10050/tcp Zabbix Agent<br></br>
zabbix-agent 10050/udp Zabbix Agent<br></br>
zabbix-trapper 10051/tcp Zabbix Trapper<br></br>
zabbix-trapper 10051/udp Zabbix Trapper ```

**Make config directory for zabbix:**

mkdir /etc/zabbix


cp misc/conf/{zabbix_server.conf,zabbix_agentd.conf} /etc/zabbix/


vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf ```

[ update zabbix_server.conf with your database information ]

<br></br>
chmod 400 /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf<br></br>
chown zabbix /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf<br></br>
cp misc/init.d/redhat/8.0/zabbix_* /etc/init.d/<br></br>
vi /etc/init.d/zabbix_server```

**and then change the progdir to progdir=”/usr/local/sbin/” . Do the exactly the same with zabbix_agentd. **

chkconfig --add zabbix_server


chkconfig --add zabbix_agentd```

**
Configure /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf**

You need to configure this file for every host with zabbix_agentd installed. The file should contain the IP address of the Zabbix server. Connections from other hosts will be denied. You may take misc/conf/zabbix_agentd.conf as example.

Configure /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

For small installations (up to ten monitored hosts), default parameters are sufficient. However, you should change default parameters to maximize performance of Zabbix. See section [Performance tuning] for more details. You may take misc/conf/zabbix_server.conf as example.

yum install php-mysql php-gd php-bcmath php-mbstring php-xml<br></br>
vi /etc/php.ini```

and change following:

max_execution_time = 600


memory_limit = 256M


post_max_size = 32M


date.timezone = Europe/Zurich


mbstring.func_overload = 2```

Copy the web interface to your web directory:

frontends/php

Zabbix Client

Create user and groups for zabbix

groupadd -g 130 zabbix<br></br>
useradd -u 130 -g zabbix -c 'Zabbix monitoring' zabbix```

`wget -O /usr/src/zabbix.tar.gz http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/zabbix/ZABBIX%20Latest%20Stable/1.8.9/zabbix-1.8.9.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zabbix.com%2Fdownload.php&ts=1321978740&use_mirror=voxel `

cd /usr/src/


tar -zxvf zabbix.tar.gz```

./configure –enable-agent
make
make install
Configure /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
mkdir /etc/zabbix
cp misc/conf/zabbix_agentd.conf /etc/zabbix/
cp misc/init.d/redhat/8.0/zabbix_agentd /etc/init.d/

Now edit /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf and update the server ip.
