Learning Zabbix

What is Zabbix?
Zabbix is a network management system created by Alexei Vladishev. It is designed to monitor and track the status of various network services, servers, and other network hardware. (Courtesy Wikipedia).

I wanted to learn Zabbix as it is a very important tool to monitor servers and hence decided to install it and practice. To install and use Zabbix you must first install LAMP on your machine. I followed the following steps to install Zabbix on my machine.

Install the server:


sudo apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql

Install the agent

 sudo apt-get install zabbix-agent

Install the front end

 sudo apt-get install zabbix-frontend-php

Browse to http://localhost/zabbix

Login as admin with a password of zabbix

Change your password immediately by clicking on the profile link to the top right and clicking the Change Password button.

Follow the Zabbix QuickStart Guide.
