We now need to edit the configuration file to tell the agent where to find the server. Once the repo is installed, we can install the zabbix-agent package via apt: apt install zabbix-agent
In this example I am using 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) so the repo name will be “bionic”, if you are installing on a different version, you will need to adjust that accordingly in the following commands: wget ĭpkg -i zabbix-release_4.0-2+bionic_all.deb
To install the repo, we will need to know the repo name for the version of Ubuntu we are using. For instance, you can’t install Zabbix agent 4.4 if you are using Zabbix Server 4.0. The agent cannot be newer than the server. As this is a fresh installation we will install the repo for Zabbix 4.0 to be as up to date as possible but older agent versions (as far back as 1.4) will work with the 4.0 version of the server. Installing Zabbix Agent Ubuntu 18.04Īs with the server installation, we need to install a package repo for the version of Zabbix we wish to install. I will also cover the process of configuring the Zabbix server to talk to these agents. In this article I will describe the process of installing and configuring the Zabbix agent on 4 common operating systems. Network devices such as switches, firewalls or even printers use SNMP.
Generally you will monitor servers and workstations using Zabbix agent. The two main ways Zabbix can monitor a host are via an agent installed on the host or via SNMP. To monitor other hosts, we will need to tell Zabbix about other devices on your network. At the end of my previous article we had a functioning Zabbix server set up to monitor itself.
