Once the server is ready, we can start to configure our agents.
Install the zabbix-agent :
sudo apt-get install zabbix-agent
Edit the configuration file :
sudo vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
The my configuration file is simple and functionnal :
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is there a way to install a newer version of the agent?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
sudo apt-cache policy zabbix-agent
zabbix-agent:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1:3.0.7+dfsg-3
Version table:
