2. Install Zabbix packages on CentOS/RHEL 7
Download Zabbix package from http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/ (look for latest long term release package)
rpm -ivh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.2/rhe...
Install Zabbix packages
yum install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql zabbix-agent zabbix-get zabbix-sender zabbix-java-gateway -y
Import initial DB schema and data (Zabbix version can be different, so check folder name)
cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-4.2.4
zcat create.sql.gz | mysql -uroot -p zabbix
Edit database configuration in zabbix_server.conf
vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
DBHost=localhost (better change to IP)
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=your password for DB user "zabbix"
Edit PHP timezone and change/uncomment the “date.timezone” setting and set the right timezone for you.
vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/zabbix.conf
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 max_input_vars 10000
php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1
php_value date.timezone Europe/Riga
#Changes will be applied after restart of server or service httpd
Add services to server startup
systemctl enable zabbix-server zabbix-agent zabbix-java-gateway httpd mariadb
#Check startup list
systemctl list-unit-files | grep zabbix
systemctl list-unit-files | grep httpd
systemctl list-unit-files | grep mariadb
Check SELinux status
sestatus
We will switch SELinux off in this example (if you want to keep it on, check Zabbix documentation).
vim /etc/selinux/config
set SELINUX=disabled
Save the file. Reboot required to apply changes
Restart server
reboot
#Ready to go to http://ipaddress/zabbix to finish setup.
Server name: name of Zabbix server instance (will see it in the right up corner, under logout) Example: zbx_prod01, zbx_test01, zbx4.0.centos7 etc.
Default user: Admin
