README.Slackware
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This file contains some specific instructions to complete the
|
|
installation of zabbix_proxy on Slackware.
|
|
|
|
You will need to have a working installation of MySQL (*) for zabbix_proxy
|
|
to run. MySQL server does not have to be on the same box as your
|
|
zabbix_proxy, but they need to be able to communicate and you will need at
|
|
least the MySQL client on the box that will run zabbix_proxy.
|
|
|
|
(*) zabbix can work with MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQLite databases,
|
|
but these instructions are for MySQL, as it is included with Slackware.
|
|
|
|
0) Before running the SlackBuild script
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
0.1) zabbix group & user
|
|
|
|
Before running the zabbix_proxy.SlackBuild script, you will need to create
|
|
the 'zabbix' user and group. The script won't run if these do not
|
|
exist.
|
|
|
|
The suggested UID and GID is 228, but you can change this as needed:
|
|
|
|
# groupadd -g 228 zabbix
|
|
# useradd -u 228 -g zabbix -d /dev/null -s /bin/false zabbix
|
|
|
|
1) Configuring zabbix_proxy
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
For those in a hurry, here are some basic steps to get zabbix proxy up &
|
|
running:
|
|
|
|
1.1) Create initial database
|
|
|
|
On your MySQL server, connect with full privileges:
|
|
|
|
# mysql -u <your_user> -p<your_password>
|
|
|
|
Create the zabbix database & user:
|
|
|
|
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8;
|
|
mysql> use mysql;
|
|
mysql> grant all on zabbix.* to zabbix@<your_zabbix_proxy> identified by '<your_password>';
|
|
mysql> flush privileges;
|
|
mysql> quit
|
|
|
|
(note: if your MySQL server and zabbix server are the same, use "localhost"
|
|
for <your_zabbix_proxy>)
|
|
|
|
On your zabbix server, connect to the new database:
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/share/zabbix_proxy/create
|
|
# mysql -h <your_mysql_server> -u zabbix -p<your_password> zabbix
|
|
|
|
In MySQL, create the schema & add initial data:
|
|
|
|
mysql> source schema/mysql.sql;
|
|
mysql> quit
|
|
|
|
1.2) zabbix_proxy configuration file
|
|
|
|
A standard configuration file is installed as /etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.conf
|
|
|
|
You will need to change at least the following lines:
|
|
|
|
Server=<ip_of_your_zabbix_proxy>
|
|
Hostname=<hostname_of_your_zabbix_proxy>
|
|
|
|
DBHost=<your_mysql_server> (Change if MySQL is not on localhost)
|
|
DBUser=zabbix ("root" doesn't sound like a good idea)
|
|
DBPassword=<your_password> (Change as defined above)
|
|
|
|
2) Start & Stop scripts for zabbix server
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
2.1) Automatic startup and shutdown
|
|
|
|
If you want to start zabbix_proxy on system bootup, include these lines in
|
|
your /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
|
|
|
|
# Start zabbix_proxy
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy ]; then
|
|
echo "Starting zabbix proxy..."
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy start
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
To guarantee a clean shutdown of zabbix_proxy, include this in
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown:
|
|
|
|
# Stop zabbix_proxy
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy ]; then
|
|
echo "Stopping zabbix proxy..."
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy stop
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
2.2) Make /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy executable
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you'll have to set the rc script to be executable just like
|
|
any other Slackware rc script:
|
|
|
|
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy
|
|
|
|
3) Starting zabbix proxy daemon
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Now you are ready to start zabbix_proxy by calling the startup script:
|
|
|
|
# /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy start
|
|
|
|
You can check the log file (/var/log/zabbix/zabbig_proxy.log) in case of
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
Zabbix uses ports 10050 & 10051 to communicate, so make sure these aren't
|
|
blocked on your network.
