[root@oss ~]# rpm -Uvh zabbix-release-2.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm warning: zabbix-release-2.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 79ea5ed4: NOKEY Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:zabbix-release ########################################### [100%]
3. Install Zabbix server :
[root@oss ~]# yum install zabbix-agent zabbix-web-mysql zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-java-gateway -y
4. 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 date.timezone Asia/Kuala_Lumpur
5. Restart zabbix and make zabbix start at boot :
[root@oss ~]# service zabbix-server start Starting Zabbix server: [ OK ] [root@oss ~]# chkconfig zabbix-server on
6. Setup Zabbix database :
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by 'password'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> flush privileges; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> exit
7. Import initial schema and data :
[root@oss ~]# cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.2.5/create [root@oss create]# mysql -u zabbix -p zabbix < schema.sql Enter password: [root@oss create]# mysql -u zabbix -p zabbix < images.sql Enter password: [root@oss create]# mysql -u zabbix -p zabbix < data.sql Enter password:
8. Start zabbix installation wizard :
http://192.168.0.8/zabbix/setup.php
9. If the configuration file is not writable, manually edit database configuration in zabbix_server.conf as below :
# vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf DBHost=localhost DBName=zabbix DBUser=zabbix DBPassword=password
10. Open required port at iptables :
[root@oss ~]# netstat -plunt | grep LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1124/sshd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10051 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4190/zabbix_server tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4074/mysqld tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 1417/httpd tcp 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 1124/sshd tcp 0 0 :::10051 :::* LISTEN 4190/zabbix_server
[root@oss ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall # Manual customization of this file is not recommended. *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 10051 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited -A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited COMMIT
Restart iptables :
[root@oss ~]# service iptables restart
11. Zabbix frontend is available at http://IP-address/zabbix in the browser.
The default username/password is Admin/zabbix.
Zabbix server setup completed. You can start to setup zabbix agent now.
