Once the server is ready, we can start to configure our agents.
Install the zabbix-agent :
|
1 |
sudo apt-get install zabbix-agent |
Edit the configuration file :
|
1 |
sudo vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf |
The my configuration file is simple and functionnal :
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
PidFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid LogFile=/var/log/zabbix-agent/zabbix_agentd.log LogFileSize=0 Server=10.8.0.1 ServerActive=10.8.0.1 Hostname=bart Include=/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/ |
Then you’re done !
Hey,
thanks for the tutorial. Unfortanetly there is no zabbix-agent package available on apt-get.
Any other solution?
Kind regards
Robert

is there a way to install a newer version of the agent? The package manager wants to install an old version
