Zabbix is a monitoring solution for IT infrastructure. We can monitor most of the devices in the network and most of the services on the servers. To monitor applications, we must have a Zabbix server installed in the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zabbix Agent is required on the systems, we need to monitor through the Zabbix server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisite <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) Zabbix server\u2019s IP <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) sudo privileged account access to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 \u2013 Configure Zabbix Repository<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Zabbix team provides apt repositories for the installation of Zabbix packages. Then add the repository to the system, which is required packages for the Zabbix agent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Ubuntu 20.04<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ wget    https:\/\/repo.zabbix.com\/zabbix\/5.0\/ubuntu\/pool\/main\/z\/zabbix-release\/zabbix-release_5.0-1+focal_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_5.0-1+focal <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic):<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$ wget https:\/\/repo.zabbix.com\/zabbix\/4.0\/ubuntu\/pool\/main\/z\/zabbix-release\/zabbix-release_4.0-3+bionic_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_4.0-3+bionic_all.deb<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$ wget https:\/\/repo.zabbix.com\/zabbix\/4.0\/ubuntu\/pool\/main\/z\/zabbix-release\/zabbix-release_4.0-3+xenial_all.deb$ sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_4.0-3+xenial_all.deb<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 Step 2 \u2013 Install Zabbix Agent on Ubuntu<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before installing zabbix agent we need to update the system <\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install zabbix-agent<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3 – Configuration of Zabbix Agent
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We need to configure Zabbix agent to allow connection from your Zabbix server. Edit Zabbix agent configuration file \/etc\/zabbix\/zabbix_agentd.conf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo nano \/etc\/zabbix\/zabbix_agentd.conf<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And update the below settings then save and exit the file<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Server=[zabbix server IP]
#Hostname=[Hostname of client system ]<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4 \u2013 Manage Zabbix Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, restart the Zabbix service to apply changes. Also, enable service to auto-start on system boot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$ sudo systemctl restart zabbix-agent
$ sudo systemctl enable zabbix-agent<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
