Installing Zabbix on CentOS/RedHat
This page shows a few methods of installing various versions of Zabbix on various versions of CentOS.
Zabbix on RHEL/CentOS 4, 5 and 6 using packages
Must be in two steps. First you have to configure the EPEL repository fromhttp://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse.
And then you can install Zabbix as on Fedora with
# yum install zabbix zabbix-agent zabbix-web
where
-
zabbixis Zabbix server -
zabbix-agentis Zabbix Agent -
zabbix-webis Zabbix Web interface -
zabbix-proxy(optional) is Zabbix Proxy
The agent and server config file are then located in /etc/zabbix directory.
Note: it currently installs version 1.8.10 (December 2011) on RHEL/CentOS 6. See here for updates.
RHEL/CentOS 4 doesn't support web server monitoring due too old curl library.
Zabbix 1.8.x on CentOS using source (automated)
For Zabbix 1.8.2 see
http://blog.brendon.com/unix/installing-zabbix-18x-on-centos-the-easy-way/
For Zabbix 1.8.3 and 1.8.4 see
https://github.com/manoot/Zabbix-Easy-Install
Zabbix 1.8.x on CentOS using source (manual)
This Guide is for installing Zabbix 1.8.1 on CentOS 5.4 using a MySQL Database, I assume you have installed CentOS with Apache, MySQL, PHP, and a Mail Server during the Setup.
$ will indicate that we are using the prompt as a different user
Setting up the user accounts
The Zabbix server and client both need a user account that they can run on, so may as well set this up first. This also needs to be done on every monitored machine that is running the Zabbix agent:
# groupadd -g 130 zabbix # useradd -u 130 -g zabbix -c 'Zabbix monitoring' zabbix
I have added the ”-u 130” parameter – this ensures that the zabbix user gets created with the same user ID on every server that we created it on, as well as with the zabbix group (which will be group id 130).
Zabbix Installation
We will be installing following components:
-
Zabbix Server (for gathering data)
-
Zabbix Agent (for monitoring)
-
Net- SNMP (for SNMP Support)
-
Jabber (for notifications)
-
OpenIPMI (for monitoring)
-
cURL (for web monitoring)
All these commands are done with the user root, starting of from the root home folder /root
Dependencies
First install all the dependencies with yum using the command
# yum install zlib-devel mysql-devel glibc-devel curl-devel gcc automake mysql libidn-devel openssl-devel net-snmp-devel rpm-devel OpenIPMI-devel
CentOS should find all packages in its Repo's and do the rest for you. For Jabber we will need the packages iksemel-devel wich depends on iksemel, however these RPM's aren't in the CentOS Repo's so we will be use them from EPEL instead.
Configure the EPEL repository from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse:
# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
Than we can install the following packages with yum
# yum --enablerepo=epel install iksemel iksemel-devel
Compile and Install Source
Now that we have our dependencies set up we need to download the actual source, this can also be done with the wget command.
# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/zabbix/ZABBIX%20Latest%20Stable/1.8.1/zabbix-1.8.1.tar.gz?use_mirror=freefr
After it has downloaded the file we can unzip and untar with following command.
# gunzip zabbix-1.8.1.tar.gz && tar -xvf zabbix-1.8.1.tar
This should have created a folder called zabbix-1.8.1 in your home directory. Next we need to browse to the directory and configure our setup.
# cd zabbix-1.8.1 # ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl --with-openipmi --enable-agent
If you encounter any problems you should read the error messages carefully and check the config.log located in the same directory. If all goes well it will print out your configuration, please make sure following is set:
Enable server: yes With database: MySQL WEB Monitoring via: cURL Native Jabber: yes SNMP: net-snmp IPMI: openipmi Enable agent: yes
If everything matches the above we can carry on with the command make
# make
After make has compiled all the stuff we can use CHECKINSTALL as described in the next chapter - OR - we could simply proceed as usual with:
# make install
checkinstall
After make has compiled we won't be using make install, but checkinstall which gives us the option to first make a RPM out of the installation and than install it. This gives us the advantage to be able to deinstall Zabbix again with rpm. Because checkinstall also isn't on the CentOS Repo we will download it using wget to our home directory.
# cd .. # wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/checkinstall/checkinstall-1.6.0-3.el5.rf.i386.rpm
and than install checkinstall with rpm and rpmbuild with yum
# rpm -ivh checkinstall-1.6.0-3.el5.rf.i386.rpm # yum install rpm-build
Now we can use checkinstall to make a RPM and install it.
# cd zabbix-1.8.1 # checkinstall --nodoc --install=yes -y
You Should be able to choose what kind of package that you wish you create, because CentOS is based on RedHat we are going for [R], type R and press Enter.
If you don't encounter any errors you should get following output:
**********************************************************************
Done. The new package has been installed and saved to
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/zabbix-1.8.1-1.i386.rpm
You can remove it from your system anytime using:
rpm -e zabbix-1.8.1-1
**********************************************************************
Now Zabbix is installed.
Creating the MySQL DB
We will have to create a database for Zabbix and than import scripts which will do the rest for us.
First of make sure the MySQL daemon is running using
# service mysqld status
If not you can start it with
# service mysqld start
If this is the first time MySQL is started, you will probably get a message telling you that root has no password. Change the root password to something safe which you won't forget with
# mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password-here'
After the password has been set, its recommended to run the following script in your console to secure your MySQL installation
# mysql_secure_installation
Now that we have set a root pw and secured our db we can connect to it, to create a new db for Zabbix.
# mysql -u root -p
and enter the password you set before. Then let us create the db with
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8;
Next we want to tell MySQL that our zabbix user hast he rights to mess with the db so lets give him all rights
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to 'zabbix'@'localhost' identified by 'set-password-here'; mysql> quit;
It's important to remember this password as we a going to need it for the Zabbix config files. Now we are going to import the sql scripts into the db so we have tables, and data
# cd create/schema # cat mysql.sql | mysql -u zabbix -p zabbix # cd ../data # cat data.sql | mysql -u zabbix -p zabbix # cat images_mysql.sql | mysql -u zabbix -p zabbix
To make sure the script worked we can list the tables of the Zabbix database to see if any where created.
mysql> use zabbix; mysql> show tables; mysql> quit;
If any problems occur the easiest way is to delete the db with
mysql> drop database zabbix;
and start from the beginning again.
Configuring Zabbix
Now lets create a folder for Zabbix where the config files are stored and then copy the appropriate files.
# mkdir /etc/zabbix
# cd ../..
# cp misc/conf/{zabbix_server.conf,zabbix_agentd.conf} /etc/zabbix/
For the beginning the Zabbix agent config file can be left as how it is, but we do need to tell Zabbix where our database is to be found, for that open /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf with your favourite editor
# nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
Look for DBName, with Nano you can do this with Ctrl+W, than type in DBName and press enter. The default value it is set to zabbix, so we can leave that as how it is, but we do need to change the user and password set DBUser to zabbix and DBPassword to the one you set during the MySQL configuration above.
DBName=zabbix DBUser=zabbix DBPassword=your-zabbix-mysql-password
Now Zabbix knows where to connect to and with which login information
Permissions and Running Zabbix Server
It is recommended to change the file permissions for the Zabbix config so not every user can just read the password out of our file
# chmod 400 /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf # chown zabbix /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
Now we can execute the script zabbix_agentd and zabbix_server which are found in /usr/local/sbin/
# /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd # /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server
if all went well you shouldn't get any error messages.
To check if Zabbix is running we can grep the output of all running processes
$ ps -e | grep zabbix
You should see several processes running as zabbix_server and zabbix_agentd, and hopefully they will be running as the zabbix user.
Its all nice that the server is up and running, but latest until the next reboot of the server, Zabbix wont be running anymore. To make the this process run automatically we will have to add the server and the agent to the system startup sequence.
Creating startup scripts
Zabbix comes with startup scripts but it should be mentioned that these scripts are old. Never the less they will still work. All that is needed to be done are minor changes in the scripts.
Login in back to root
$ su -
After a successful login let us copy the scripts from our Zabbix source into our /etc/init.d/ folder. this can be done with the following command:
# cd zabbix-1.8.1 # cp misc/init.d/redhat/8.0/zabbix_* /etc/init.d/
this will copy zabbix_server and zabbix_agentd startup scripts.
Open zabbix_server with your favourite editor.
# nano /etc/init.d/zabbix_server
and than change the progdir to progdir=”/usr/local/sbin/” . Do the exactly the same with zabbix_agentd.
Now let us add it to the services with
# chkconfig --add zabbix_server # chkconfig --add zabbix_agentd
all that is left, it to tell the system on which runlevels it should start them, we are going to use runlevel 3 and 5.
# chkconfig --level 35 zabbix_server on # chkconfig --level 35 zabbix_agentd on
to verify that the changes have been made, we can use chkconfig to list all configurations with
# chkconfig --list
or to just show the zabbix services we can customize our output with grep
# chkconfig --list | grep zabbix
All that is left to be done, is to make these scripts executable, this is done with the following command
# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix_server # chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd
Now we can control our scripts with
# service zabbix_server {start|stop|restart|condrestart}
Installing the Web frontend
We have Zabbix Server and Agent installed and running on our server, we can control the them with services and they startup each time the machine boots into runlevel 3 or 5 but we still don't have our Web frontend.
This is where Apache and PHP come into play. We will need to install some extra php packages for full functionality
# yum install php-mysql php-gd php-bcmath php-mbstring php-xml
Once installed its time to copy the web files to the correct folder, with CentOS and Apache this would be /var/www/html/.
# cp -r frontends/php/ /var/www/html/
To make the page accessable through http://localhost/zabbix we will have to to rename the folder to zabbix.
# mv /var/www/html/php/ /var/www/html/zabbix
Now you should now be able to access the Web frontend trough http://localhost/zabbix
If you encounter problems try checking if the httpd service is running. If it worked you should see the Welcome screen from Zabbix
Don't worry if you get a timezone warning in the upper lines - we'll fix it later. Read the Text and continue with the Next » button.
Agree to the GNU v2 Licence and carry on.
Most Likely Zabbix won't agree with all of your settings and will tell you to change them to the requiered settings. In my case these are all php related problems. Open php.ini with your favourite editor
# nano /etc/php.ini
and change following:
max_execution_time = 600 memory_limit = 256M post_max_size = 32M date.timezone = Europe/Zurich mbstring.func_overload = 2
If you hover with your mouse over the FAIL sign it should describe the problem. If you encounter any extra problems you should be able to find thse problems out with the web. Than after a restart of httpd it should all be OK
# service httpd restart
Fill in the Information as above and use the password you gave zabbix when you configured your DB. You can test the connection with the button Test connection.
Leave the Information as it is and continue the Setup
It will summarise your Installation, continue the setup.
Most likely saving your config file won't work, instead of changing the permissions we will download the file localy to the specified path. If your not on the server you can either copy the file through ssh if your using Linux or through winscp if your using Windows.
That's it, we're finished
Zabbix 1.6.x on CentOS using source (automated)
http://blog.brendon.com/unix/installing-zabbix-the-easy-way/
Zabbix 1.4 on Cent OS using source
Use the following steps to install Zabbix 1.4 on CentOS
These steps assume that you have a dedicated server/ virtual server that you can format the harddrive and delete any data already on the server.
It also assumes that you will run the Zabbix server process, web frontend and database on the same server. This is fine for most small to medium installations and if you run into issues with performance you can always split it up later.
Also note that the installation below has virtually no security on it - you should setup passwords for the mysql root account and create a dbuser with password for zabbix but that is outside the scope of this article.
Preliminary Steps:
Install CentOS (you can use the ServerCD as I like to start with the minimal install and add packages as necessary).
There are many How To's for installing CentOS so I am not going to go step by step. For a newbie the only steps you should be aware of are:
A) Firewall Configuration Step you should select “No Firewall” and set SELinux to Disabled. You can always change them later as your skills increase but for now (assuming the server is already behind a firewall) you should be okay.
B) On the Package Installation Defaults step Choose “Customize Software Packages To Install”
C) On the Package Group Selection step Choose “Minimal Install” (near the bottom).
D) After Installation is complete and server has rebooted you should use yum to update the installation as soon as possible to get all the latest fixes and security patches. Log into server as root (using password supplied during setup).
[root@zabbix ~]# yum -y update
You should then reboot (especially if there was a new kernel installed).
[root@zabbix ~]# reboot
Installing Prerequisites:
[root@zabbix ~]# yum install httpd php mysql mysql-server mysql-devel php-gd php-mysql gcc net-snmp net-snmp-libs net-snmp-utils net-snmp-devel curl-devel
If you are running CentOS 4.x then you need to get a newer version of curl and curl-devel
[root@zabbix ~]# cd /usr/src
[root@zabbix src]# wget http://curl.mirrors.cyberservers.net/download/libcurl4-devel-7.16.2-1.i386.rpm
[root@zabbix src]# wget http://curl.mirrors.cyberservers.net/download/libcurl4-7.16.2-1.i386.rpm
[root@zabbix src]# yum install openssl096b
[root@zabbix src]# yum remove curl-devel
[root@zabbix src]# rpm -i libcurl4*
Obtaining Zabbix and Installing Server:
[root@zabbix ~]# cd /usr/src
In the commands below be sure to change the filename to the latest version (i.e zabbix-1.4.6.tar.gz or zabbix-1.4.6)
[root@zabbix src]# wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zabbix/zabbix-1.4.5.tar.gz
[root@zabbix src]# tar zxf zabbix-1.4.5.tar.gz
[root@zabbix src]# cd zabbix-1.4.5
Start up/initialize and create mysql database (Section 3.4.5 Step 3 in Manual)
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# service mysqld start
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# mysql -u root
mysql> create database zabbix;
mysql> quit
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# cat create/schema/mysql.sql | mysql -u root zabbix
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# cat create/data/data.sql | mysql -u root zabbix
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# cat create/data/images_mysql.sql | mysql -u root zabbix
Compile and Install Server/Agent (Section 3.4.5 Steps 4-10 in Manual)
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# ./configure –enable-server –enable-agent –with-mysql –with-net-snmp –with-libcurl
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# make install
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# mkdir /etc/zabbix
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# cp misc/conf/zabbix_agentd.conf /etc/zabbix
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# cp misc/conf/zabbix_server.conf /etc/zabbix
Zabbix will not run as root so we need to setup a user for zabbix to run under (Section 3.4.5 Step 1 in Manual)
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# groupadd zabbix
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# useradd -g zabbix zabbix
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# chown zabbix:zabbix /usr/local/sbin/zabbix*
Install Zabbix as a service
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# cp misc/init.d/fedora/core/zabbix* /etc/init.d
we need to modify these scripts for the paths we are using (there are some vi instructions available on the web but see below for some common functions)
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# vi /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd
change BASEDIR=/opt/zabbix to BASEDIR=/usr/local/sbin
change FULLPATH=$BASEDIR/bin/$BINARY_NAME to FULLPATH=$BASEDIR/$BINARY_NAME
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# vi /etc/init.d/zabbix_server
make the same changes as above
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# chkconfig –add zabbix_agentd
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# chkconfig –add zabbix_server
Set services to auto start when server boots
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# chkconfig –level 3 httpd on
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# chkconfig –level 3 mysqld on
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# chkconfig –level 3 zabbix_server on
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# chkconfig –level 3 zabbix_agentd on
Install frontend
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# mkdir /var/www/html/zabbix
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# cp -R frontends/php/* /var/www/html/zabbix
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# chown apache:apache /var/www/html/zabbix/conf
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# vi /etc/php.ini
find resource limits section and change max_execution_time to 300
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Resource Limits ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
max_execution_time = 300 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
Start services
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# service httpd start
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# service zabbix_server start
[root@zabbix zabbix-1.4]# service zabbix_agentd start
now follow Manual from Section 3.4.5 Step 1 on
Zabbix should now be installed and working on local server. You should use the manual for the rest of the setup/configuration process
