Install Zabbix on CentOS 7
-
@Sparkum So its working now, right?
-
I'm going to try this tonight.
-
Zabbix is working, zabbix agent on the server is working, just cant get any communication from windows agent, so not sure if you have any experience with the windows agent or not.

Have you checked the windows firewall? There's Zabbix is usually blocked by it.
Also, check the zabbix_agentd.conf file on your Windows box and make sure the Server and ServerActive IP addresses are set to your Zabbix Server's ip?
-
Both are set to 192.168.1.167 (which is internal IP of zabbix server)
And I created inbound and outbound rules for 10050 and 10051

Got the 10050 and 10051 open on your Zabbix server?
-
Well I did this
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=10051/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=10050/tcpSo I assume yes?
How exactly would I check, sorry

Did you
firewall-cmd --reload ?
Edit: That's a good question... I'm not sure about how to do that with firewalld.
-
Yep I've reloaded and rebooted.

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --list-all -

@Sparkum Your ports are open
-
Anyone have anymore ideas on what I should try to get the windows agent to communicate with my server?
Want any config files?
-
@Sparkum yes post your windows agent config.
-
-
@Sparkum Finally got a windows vm setup and got the agent working.
This are the steps I took to get it working:
Download windows pre-compiled agent:
http://www.zabbix.com/downloads/3.0.0/zabbix_agents_3.0.0.win.zipFrom an elevated cmd promt
I went inside the extracted folders to install the zabbix agent as a service:
zabbix_agents_3.0.0.win\bin\win64\Executed the following command to install the service and point to the config file:
zabbix_agent_d.exe --config "..\..\conf\zabbix_agentd.win.conf" --installNow we need to edit the config file to point to our zabbix server:
zabbix_agents_3.0.0.win\conf\zabbix_agentd.win.confModify the following options:
Server=Zabbix Server IP Address ServerActive=Zabbix Server IP Address Hostname= FQDN of windows hostWent back to the bin folder and started the service:
..\zabbix_agents_3.0.0.win\bin\win64\zabbix_agent_d.exe --startAllow the
zabbix_agentd.exeexecutable throught the windows firewall.Add the host to the Zabbix Server
In new host settings add:
# HOST TAB Host name = FQDN of your windows host Groups = Use a preset group or create a new one Agent Interfaces = IP address of Windows Host Enabled = Checked. #Templates Tab Link new templates = Template OS WindowsSave your newly created host and wait for a couple of minutes to get it talking to your server
Its done and reporting =).
-
I'm getting closer!
So the only thing I did from what you wrote was
Hostname= FQDN of windows hostBut after that I have a red Z!
Progress!Currently getting
Get value from agent failed: ZBX_TCP_READ() failed: [104] Connection reset by peerI'll try to google my way through that now!
Thanks

I just upgraded my install from Zabbix 3.0.5 to 3.2.1 painlessly.
yum -y install http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2-1.el7.noarch.rpm yum clean all yum -y upgradeOnly poked around a little but everything seems to be working.
I only have 6 devices reporting in on this for the moment. Been meaning to get this fully functional for months now.

Same here I really need to wipe mine and re-do it all and get some better info out of it like Performance and IOPS on the servers etc, instead of just ping to see if up or down

Had to modify the instructions a bit to handle SELinux. The below have been added to the first post already.
Install SELinux tools.
yum -y install setroubleshoot setoolsAfter your system is up and running, reboot. You should hopefully have a problem with SELinux blocking a couple of things.
[root@zabbix ~]# sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep zabbix SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/zabbix_server_mysql from using the setrlimit access on a process. <snip lots of text> SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd from using the setrlimit access on a process.Now that these errors are in the audit log, we can set up SELinux to allow it.
If anyone knows SELinux well enough to create the policies needed without waiting for a fail, just let me know. I will be happy to update these instructions.
ausearch -c 'zabbix_server' --raw | audit2allow -M my-zabbixserver semodule -i my-zabbixserver.pp ausearch -c 'zabbix_agentd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-zabbixagentd semodule -i my-zabbixagentd.pp
