Installation zabbix from packages (rhel7)

zabbix_server

1  Installing repository configuration package

# rpm -ivh  http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm

2  Installing Zabbix packages

Install Zabbix packages. Example for Zabbix server and web frontend with mysql database

# yum install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql

installing Zabbix agent only

# yum install zabbix-agent

3  Creating initial database

install database (mysql)

# wget  https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-8.noarch.rpm

# rpm -ivh  mysql57-community-release-el7-8.noarch.rpm

#  yum install mysql-community-server

A superuser account  'root'@'localhost  is created. A password for the superuser is set and stored in the error log file. To reveal it, use the following command:

# grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log

# mysql -uroot -p temporary password

修改root用户的密码：

# ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyNewPass4!'

Create zabbix database and user on MySQL. For instructions on doing that, see database creation scripts for MySQL.

Then import initial schema and data.

# cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-3.0.0

# zcat create.sql.gz | mysql -uroot zabbix

4  Starting Zabbix server process

Edit database configuration in zabbix_server.conf

# vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
DBHost=localhost
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix

DBPassword=zabbix

Start Zabbix server process.

# systemctl start zabbix-server

设置开机启动

chkconfig zabbix-server on

5 Editing PHP configuration for Zabbix frontend

Apache configuration file for Zabbix frontend is located in /etc/httpd/conf.d/zabbix.conf. Some PHP settings are already configured.

php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 16M
php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1
# php_value date.timezone Europe/Riga

It's necessary to uncomment the “date.timezone” setting and set the right timezone for you. After changing the configuration file restart the apache web server.

# systemctl start httpd

Zabbix frontend is available at  http://zabbix-frontend-hostname/zabbix  in the browser. Default username/password is Admin/zabbix.

zabbix_agent:

1  Installing repository configuration package

# rpm -ivh  http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm

2  Installing Zabbix packages

installing Zabbix agent only

# yum install zabbix-agent

3 /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

# sed -i "s/Server=127.0.0.1/Server=172.16.171.155/" zabbix_agentd.conf

# sed -i "s/ServerActive=127.0.0.1/ServerActive=172.16.171.155:10051/" zabbix_agentd.conf 

# sed -i "s/# UnsafeUserParameters=0/UnsafeUserParameters=1/" zabbix_agentd.conf

4 # service zabbix-agent start

   # chkconfig zabbix-agent on

如果zabbix-agent服务无法开启，报错 cannot set resource limit: [13] Permission denied 需要关闭selinux服务，方法如下： ＃sed -i  "s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/“ /etc/selinux/config # setenforce 0
