Basic steps to install Zabbix-agent for Linux systems that cannot connect to the Internet using RPM packages

Just started to contact the Zabbix monitoring system, but also in the initial groping stage, in the company also set up a Zabbix monitoring test environment, and everyone to share my test process encountered problems, I hope to be the same as the novice help.

In an enterprise environment where some security policies are used to isolate some servers from connecting to the Internet, it is not appropriate to install zabbix-agent directly through Yum, which summarizes the basic steps of installing zabbix-agent for an intranet Linux system.

1. First, by configuring the server of the Yum source, Yumdownloader download the required installation package (or download it from the website, please note the corresponding version of your operating system and Zabbix server when downloading the installation package).

Zabbix-2.4.3-1.el5

Zabbix-agent-2.4.3-1.el5

2. Download the Zabbix repo key file on the Internet (also note the corresponding version) and import, no this step will be reported similar to the following error message:

[Email protected] tmp]# RPM-IVH zabbix-agent-2.4.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm

Warning:zabbix-agent-2.4.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm:header V4 DSA Signature: Nokey, key ID 79ea5ed4

Import Repo:

[Email protected] tmp]# rpm--import Zabbix-official-repo.key

Links to Repo:

http://repo.zabbix.com/

3. Through FTP, SCP command and other methods see the installation package transfer to intranet Linux

4. There is a dependency on the installation, please install ZABBIX-2.4.3-1.EL5 First, then install Zabbix-agent-2.4.3-1.el5

The following error will be reported when installing ZABBIX-AGENT-2.4.3-1.EL5 first:
[Email protected] tmp]# RPM-IVH zabbix-agent-2.4.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm

error:failed dependencies:
Zabbix is needed by zabbix-agent-2.4.3-1.el5.x86_64

[Email protected] tmp]# RPM-IVH zabbix-2.4.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm

Preparing ... ########################################### [100%]
1:zabbix-agent ########################################### [100%]

5. After successful installation, configure the Zabbix server IP address in the/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf file (this is the default configuration, you can monitor the system through Zabbix server), or any other parameters you need to revise

6. Configure the Zabbix-agent service to start

[[Email protected] zabbix]# service zabbix-agent status
Zabbix_agentd is stopped
[[Email protected] zabbix]# service zabbix-agent start
Starting Zabbix agent: [OK]

[Email protected] zabbix]# chkconfig--list |grep zabbix-agent

Zabbix-agent 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
[Email protected] zabbix]# chkconfig zabbix-agent on
[Email protected] zabbix]# chkconfig--list |grep zabbix-agent
Zabbix-agent 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

7. Verify that the client is connected properly from the Zabbix server side

[Email protected] ~]# zabbix_get-s 10.1.99.5-k system.uname
Linux bj-ts-20 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 06:58:14 EDT x86_64
