(1) Download Zabbix client software
http://www.zabbix.com/download.php different versions of Zabbix are also selected depending on the version of the client system. I used the Linux 2.6.X i386 as an example wget www.zabbix.com/downloads/2.0.3/zabbix_agents_2.0.3.linux2_6.i386.tar.gz
(2) New Zabbix Users and Groups
Groupadd Zabbix #新建zabbix组 useradd-g Zabbix Zabbix #新建zabbix用户并将其加入到zabbix组
(3) Unzip the client software
Tar zxvf zabbix_agents_2.0.3.linux2_6.i386.tar.gz Note: This 2.0 tar package looks somewhat different from the others, and after running the unzip command, the files in the tar package are extracted into the current directory, a bin, and a sbin. Mkdir/usr/local/zabbix mv Bin/usr/local/zabbix #将解压出来的bin目录移动到新建的zabbix下 for i in *;d o ln-s/usr/ Local/zabbix/bin/${i}/usr/bin/${i};d one mv Sbin/usr/local/zabbix #将解压出来的sbin目录移动到新建的zabbix下 for i in * ;d o ln-s/usr/local/zabbix/sbin/${i}/usr/sbin/${i};d one for loop is to link the program under Zabbix/sbin to/usr/sbin
(4) Add Zabbix monitoring port on the client
Vim/etc/services Add the following content zabbix_agent 10050/tcp zabbix_agent 10050/udp
(5) Copy and modify the client configuration file
Note: The download of the client source package is not a configuration file, Zabbix Client configuration file is also common, the Zabbix server on the CP can be used. I have the Client Profile CP coming up on the Zabbix server. (if you are following the configuration in my previous article, the client file is executed on the CP server in/etc/zabbix) : scp/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf client ip:/usr/local/etc Vim/usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf Modify the following server = Monitor server IP
(6) Copy startup script
CP/USR/LOCAL/ZABBIX/SBIN/ZABBIX_AGENTD/ETC/INIT.D Copy boot script to/etc/init.d chmod a+x/etc/init.d/zabbix_ Agentd
(7) Start the Zabbix client and add boot-up
Service Zabbix_agentd start #启动zabbix客户端 echo "service zabbix_agentd start" >>/etc/rc.local # Boot from Boot
(8) Review the process, indeed Zabbix whether the client started
Ps-ef | grep Zabbix
You can see 6 Zabbix processes stating that the client installation is complete and the startup is successful.
About Zabbix on the Linux client installation is complete, follow-up research how to add monitoring and alarm, there are problems also ask you to put forward, learn together, communicate together.
