Installation of Zabbix under Linux

Server-Side Environment readiness

Zabbix server needs to run on a Linux system such as CentOS, RedHat Linux, Debain and so on, with Rhel AS5 as the deployment environment.

The root user installs the necessary packages and recommends that Yum be configured to install the following packages through Yum to resolve package dependencies.

Lamp environment

#yum Install mysql-server httpd php

Other packages that need to be used:

#yum Install mysql-devel gcc net-snmp-devel curl-devel perl-dbi php-gd php-mysql php-bcmath php-mbstring php-xml

Download the latest Zabbix installation package (official website: http://www.zabbix.com) to local, unzip

#tar ZXVF zabbix-1.8.1.tar.gz

Adding Zabbix Users and Groups

#groupadd Zabbix

#useradd –g zabbix–m Zabbix

Database Preparation

To start the MySQL database:

#service mysqld Start

Modify the MySQL root user password (the default password is empty)

#mysqladmin –u root–p Password root

Test whether the database is logged in properly

#mysql –uroot–proot

Create a Zabbix database

Mysql> CREATE database Zabbix character set UTF8;

Import Database SQL script

#cd zabbix-1.8.1

# Cat./create/schema/mysql.sql |mysql-uroot-proot Zabbix

# Cat./create/data/data.sql |mysql-uroot-proot Zabbix

# Cat./create/data/images_mysql.sql |mysql-uroot-proot Zabbix

Compiling the installation

Configuration compilation, prefix is the post-installation program directory

#./configure--with-mysql--with-net-snmp--with-libcurl--enable-server--enable-agent--enable-proxy--prefix=/usr/ Local/zabbix

# make

# make Install

configuration file and Web front end file modification

Add the service port and add the following

# grep Zabbix/etc/services

Zabbix-agent 10050/tcp # Zabbix Agent

Zabbix-agent 10050/UDP # Zabbix Agent

Zabbix-trapper 10051/tcp # Zabbix Trapper

Zabbix-trapper 10051/UDP # Zabbix Trapper

Add a configuration file

# mkdir-p/etc/zabbix

# CP./misc/conf/*/etc/zabbix

# Chown-r Zabbix:zabbix/etc/zabbix

Modify the server configuration file

Basic without modification, with the default configuration, just modify a dbpassword= password

# vi/etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

Modify the Agentd configuration file, change the host NAME to native hostname just fine.

#vi/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

Add a web front-end PHP file

# CD frontends/

# CP-RF php/var/www/html/

# cd/var/www/html

# mv PHP Zabbix

# chown-r Zabbix:zabbix Zabbix

Web front-End installation configuration

Modify PHP Related parameters

# Vi/etc/php.ini Find the following items, change to the following values, preceded by;

Max_execution_time = 300

Date.timezone = Asia/shanghai

Post_max_size = 32M

Memory_limit = 128M

Mbstring.func_overload = 2

Restart Apache

#service httpd Restart

Access Zabbis serve address on local browser start web front end configuration, Http://ServerIP/zabbix

Follow the prompts step by step next, where step 3 check of pre-requisites must be all items OK before you can continue with the configuration, if prompted fail, go to the server to check whether the package is installed or whether the configuration is changed as described above.

Step 4 fill in Zabbix Server login MySQL user and password host: native hostname user:root pass:123456

Step 7 Follow the prompts to download the configuration file to the server/var/www/html/zabbix/conf, the name must be zabbix.conf.php

After the configuration is complete, the login interface appears, the default user is: admin, Password: Zabbix

Start the server

After the installation is complete, the server program can be started directly under the/usr/local/zabbix/sbin/directory.

#/usr/local/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_server

In order to facilitate the start-stop server, we do some small configuration

Replication control Procedures

# CP./misc/init.d/redhat/zabbix_*/etc/init.d/

Modify the configuration directory to change basedir= in the following two files to/usr/local/zabbix, and the bin in the following two configurations to Sbin,zabbix_agentd,zabbix_suckerd

# Vi/etc/init.d/zabbix_server_ctl

# Vi/etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd_ctl

Join boot Start

# echo '/etc/init.d/zabbix_server_ctl start & ' >>/ETC/RC

# echo '/etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd_ctl start & ' >>/ETC/RC

Create a fast key mode

# ln-s/etc/init.d/zabbix_server_ctl/usr/bin/zabbix_server_ctl

# ln-s/etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd_ctl/usr/bin/zabbix_agentd_ctl

Start server and AGENTD (can be operated by start stop restart)

# Zabbix_agentd_ctl Start

# Zabbix_server_ctl Start

Check if startup is working, see if the process is up, sub-server and AGENTD

#ps –ef|grep Zabbix

If the process is not up, you can view the corresponding log error by default in/tmp/zabbix-*.log

Vi/etc/ld.so.conf

Add/usr/local/lib

Ldconfig

The installation of Zabbix server is now complete
