Step 2: Install and Configure Zabbix Agent

Once repository is added install the packages:

Code

sudo apt update
sudo apt install zabbix-agent

Zabbix agent configuration is /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf. Edit

Code

$ sudo vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
#Specify Zabbix server IP Address
Server=<yourserver>

#Specify Zabbix server ( For active checks)
ServerActive=<yourserver>

# Set this server hostname reported by Zabbix agent
Hostname=<yourhostname>

Restart zabbix-agent after making the change:

Code

sudo systemctl restart zabbix-agent
sudo systemctl status zabbix-agent

If you have ufw enabled, allow port 10050 on the firewall. This is used by Zabbix agent daemon.

Code

sudo ufw allow 10050/tcp
