Zabbix: How to configure Zabbix Server on CentOS 7

Overview

Zabbix is an open source enterprise software that monitors networks and applications

It is designed to help network administrators monitor and monitor the status of other network services, servers and network hardware intelligently to ensure the system is always stable

How to configure

Step 1: Install Apache2/httpd

Install httpd

After installing the httpd service, run the start command to “open” the service and enable the service to “run smoothly”

To make sure httpd is running on CentOS, we use the following command: # netstat -plntu

Step 2: Install and configure PHP on CentOS 7

Add the webtatic and EPEL repository to the system

Install PHP packages from the webtatic repository using yum: # yum -y install mod_php72w php72w-cli php72w-common php72w-devel php72w-pear php72w-gd php72w-mbstring php72w-mysql php72w-xml php72w-bcmath

Edit file vi /etc/php.ini
Enter i to insert or edit the values
You have to make sure that the value fields change do not have the # or the (;) in front

After finished running, we will restart the httpd service

Step 3: Install and configure MariaDB

Install mariadb-server with the command below

After successful installation, you run the command like the above httpd service is “start” and “enable”

Configure password for root MariaDB
Here we have created MariaDB database and finished configuring the root password for Database

Create a database to install Zabbix
In this example will create a database called ‘zabbix’

Step 4: Install and configure Zabbix

This step is the step of installing and configuring Zabbix (Zabbix-server and Zabbix-agent)
Install Zabbix Packages:
# yum -y install http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.4/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.4-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm

# yum -y install zabbix-get zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql zabbix-agent

Enter the path: cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-…………../
The above folder may change depending on your mysql version, it is best to click the zabbix-server tab to point the correct path
