Start next time automatic on boot

chkconfig httpd onchkconfig mysqld onchkconfig zabbix-server onchkconfig zabbix-agent on

Start the mysql services now

service httpd startservice mysqld start

Make mysql secure

/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

Configure mysql with user zabbix and

database zabbix

mysql -uroot -pmysql> create database zabbix character set utf8; (create db with namezabbix)mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified

by 'your_password'; (create user zabbix, set your own password)mysql> exit

Import zabbix templates

mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix < /usr/share/zabbix-mysql/schema.sqlmysql -uzabbix -p zabbix < /usr/share/zabbix-mysql/images.sqlmysql -uzabbix -p zabbix < /usr/share/zabbix-mysql/data.sql

Edit Zabbix_server configuration

vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf (change dbname and user with yourown settings)DBHost=localhostDBName=zabbixDBUser=zabbixDBPassword=(your zabbix password)

Adjust php.ini configuration

vi /etc/php.ini

php_value max_execution_time 300php_value memory_limit 128M


3/3

php_value post_max_size 16Mphp_value upload_max_filesize 2Mphp_value max_input_time 300php_value date.timezone Europe/Brussels

Adjust selinux so that the zabbix server can access port 10051

semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 10051

To allow fping to be used by zabbix u need to create your own selinux

rule

(u can only do this when u add some item with fping. Selinux needs to block it first )

grep fping /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M zabbix_fpingsemodule -i zabbix_fping.pp

Start / restart the services

service httpd restartservice zabbix-server startservice zabbix-agent start

Your zabbix installation is ready

don't forget to open your firewall ports on client and serverside!!

10051 for trapper

10050 for client80 for httpd

This can be done easy by adding these lines in iptables

vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables-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 10050 -j ACCEPT-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 10051 -j ACCEPT

Don't forget to restart the firewall

service iptables restart
