Also, use of Zabbix Proxies is the easiest way of implementing centralized

zabbix_proxy needs to run under its own user/group. This has been assigned
|
|
|
|
|
to the following by SlackBuilds.org, but feel free to change it on your
|
2010-08-28 14:10:07 +02:00
|
|
|
system for consistency with local assignments.
|
|
|
|
|
User: zabbix UID: 228 GID: 228
|
|
|
|
|
group: zabbix GID: 228
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can pass alternate values for the user and group using
|
|
|
|
|
ZABBIXUSER and ZABBIXGROUP variables when running the build script.
