If you want to generate a config file that can be used between systems so you can automate installation, finish the installation and find the config file at C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix_nf and replace the Hostname field for a HostnameItem field as we did with the Linux servers. Enter the details for the hostname and server IP address as follows: During the installer you will be prompted to configure the connection to the server.
#Zabbix agent msi install#
Restart and enable the Zabbix service: systemctl enable zabbix-agentĭownload and install the agent MSI file from. If you have already created a config file based on the Ubuntu guide you can copy that file over the default one rather than having to make the changes again.Īllow Zabbix through the firewall: firewall-cmd -add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="172.16.24.8" port protocol="tcp" port="10050" accept' -permanent Once the application is installed, edit /etc/zabbix/zabbix_nf to change the following lines: Server= Comment out the default value of Hostname=Zabbix server and replace it with the following: This doesn’t have to be the actual hostname, it is the display name we will use within Zabbix for the system. We also need to tell Zabbix the hostname of the system. Open /etc/zabbix/zabbix_nf in your preferred text editor and make the following changes to tell the agent which Zabbix servers are allowed to talk to it: Server= We now need to edit the configuration file to tell the agent where to find the server. Once the repo is installed, we can install the zabbix-agent package via apt: apt install zabbix-agent In this example I am using 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) so the repo name will be “bionic”, if you are installing on a different version, you will need to adjust that accordingly in the following commands: wget ĭpkg -i zabbix-release_4.0-2+bionic_all.deb To install the repo, we will need to know the repo name for the version of Ubuntu we are using. For instance, you can’t install Zabbix agent 4.4 if you are using Zabbix Server 4.0.

The agent cannot be newer than the server. As this is a fresh installation we will install the repo for Zabbix 4.0 to be as up to date as possible but older agent versions (as far back as 1.4) will work with the 4.0 version of the server. Installing Zabbix Agent Ubuntu 18.04Īs with the server installation, we need to install a package repo for the version of Zabbix we wish to install. I will also cover the process of configuring the Zabbix server to talk to these agents. In this article I will describe the process of installing and configuring the Zabbix agent on 4 common operating systems.

Network devices such as switches, firewalls or even printers use SNMP. Generally you will monitor servers and workstations using Zabbix agent. The two main ways Zabbix can monitor a host are via an agent installed on the host or via SNMP. To monitor other hosts, we will need to tell Zabbix about other devices on your network.
