Intro

The steps below will configure a working Zabbix server. The steps assume that you have a (fresh) CentOS 7 server running.

MySQL installation

You can find how to install the MySQL database-server here: installing MySQL

install Zabbix Server

• sudo yum -y install http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2-1.el7.noarch.rpm --> install rpm
• sudo yum install zabbix-get zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql --> install Zabbix-server
• sudo nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf --> change DBHost, DBUser and DBPassword
• sudo systemctl start zabbix-server --> start the Zabbix Server
• sudo systemctl enable zabbix-server --> auto-start the Zabbix Server at system startup

install Zabbix Agent

• sudo yum install zabbix-agent --> install Zabbix-agent
• sudo nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf --> change "Server", "ServerActive" and "Hostname"
• sudo systemctl start zabbix-agent --> start the Zabbix Agent
• sudo systemctl enable zabbix-agent --> auto-start the Zabbix Agent at system startup

Change httpd settings

• sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/zabbix.conf --> change "Require all granted" into allowed IP's: "Require ip 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.0/24" (for example) and change timezone "php_value date.timezone Asia/Amsterdam"
• sudo systemctl restart httpd --> restart webserver

Firewall settings

• sudo firewall-cmd --add-service={http,https} --permanent --> Allow http and https traffic
• sudo firewall-cmd --add-port={10051/tcp,10050/tcp} --permanent --> Allow ports for Zabbix communication
• sudo firewall-cmd --reload --> restart firewall with new configurations

if everything worked out well you should be able to reach your new zabbix server at http://<ip or DNS-name of zambix-server>/zabbix
