Install Zabbix on CentOS 7

Romo

@Sparkum Agents listen on port 10050 and apparently the server listens on port 10051;

so runnning the following on the server:
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=10051/tcp
systemctl restart firewalld

Should get the agents connecting properly to the server, I haven't tested it because I have not set any agents to monitor yet in the lab, but from reading the documentation is should work.

Sparkum

@Romo
Hmm still no, silly Z doesnt wanna turn green.

I assume if I added a linux box I would be up in second.

Romo

@Sparkum Can you post your dashboard please =). Did you activate the host, Configuration>hosts>yourhost>enable?

Sparkum

@Romo

Sorry just a screenshot of my dashboard?

Yep, host is enabled.

I'm getting stats from the Zabbix agent, just now windows agent.

Romo

@Sparkum So its working now, right?

wirestyle22

I'm going to try this tonight.

Sparkum

@Romo

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?

Sparkum

@dafyre

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?

Sparkum

@dafyre

Well I did this

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=10051/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=10050/tcp

So 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.

Sparkum

@dafyre

Yep I've reloaded and rebooted.

@Sparkum Your ports are open

Sparkum

Anyone have anymore ideas on what I should try to get the windows agent to communicate with my server?

Want any config files?

Romo

@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.zip

From 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" --install

Now we need to edit the config file to point to our zabbix server:
zabbix_agents_3.0.0.win\conf\zabbix_agentd.win.conf

Modify the following options:

Server=Zabbix Server IP Address
ServerActive=Zabbix Server IP Address
Hostname= FQDN of windows host

Went back to the bin folder and started the service:
..\zabbix_agents_3.0.0.win\bin\win64\zabbix_agent_d.exe --start

Allow the zabbix_agentd.exe executable 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 Windows

Save your newly created host and wait for a couple of minutes to get it talking to your server
