tar zxvpf zabbix-1.8.tar.gz
wget http://www.zabbix.com/downloads/1.8.5/zabbix_agents_1.8.5.linux2_6.i386.tar.gz
tar zxvf zabbix_agents_1.8.5.linux2_6.i386.tar.gz
Copy agent files and create needed directories:
cd /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.8/
mkdir /etc/zabbix
mkdir /var/log/zabbix
chown -R zabbix.zabbix /etc/zabbix/
chown -R zabbix.zabbix /var/log/zabbix
cp /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.8.5/misc/conf/zabbix_agent* /etc/zabbix/
cp /home/zabbix/bin/zabbix_get /usr/bin/
cp /home/zabbix/bin/zabbix_sender /usr/bin/
cp /home/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agent /usr/sbin/
cp /home/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd /usr/sbin/
Edit zabbix agent configuration:
vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
Change :
DebugLevel=1
Server=vmoni.ft.grp
Hostname=vdtb4.ft.grp (Nom du client)
ListenPort=10050
ListenIP=130.117.62.228 (Ip du client)
Edit Services file:
cat /etc/services | grep 10050
cat /etc/services | grep 10051
vim /etc/services
#Add the following rules at the end:
zabbix_agent 10050/tcp # Zabbix ports
zabbix_trap 10051/tcp # Zabbix ports
Copy the init.d scripts:
cp /home/zabbix/zabbix-1.8/misc/init.d/redhat/zabbix_agentd_ctl /etc/init.d
#Edit the script files:
vim /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd_ctl
#Change:
#BASEDIR=/opt/zabbix
BASEDIR=/usr
#ZABBIX_AGENTD=$BASEDIR/bin/zabbix_agentd
ZABBIX_AGENTD=$BASEDIR/sbin/zabbix_agentd
Set the correct rights and set zabbix to start automatically:
ll /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd_ctl
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd_ctl
update-rc.d zabbix_agentd_ctl defaults
#Start the agent:
./zabbix_agentd_ctl start
#Check if the Agent is running:
ps aux | grep -v grep | grep zabbix_agentd
