Zabbix is open-source monitoring software for networks and applications. It offers real-time monitoring of thousands of metrics collected from servers, virtual machines, network devices, and web applications. These metrics can help you determine the current health of your IT infrastructure and detect problems with hardware or software components before customers complain. Useful information is stored in a database so you can analyze data over time and improve the quality of provided services, or plan upgrades of your equipment.
Zabbix uses several options for collecting metrics, including agentless monitoring of user services and client-server architecture. To collect server metrics, it uses a small agent on the monitored client to gather data and send it to the Zabbix server. Zabbix supports encrypted communication between the server and connected clients, so your data is protected while it travels over insecure networks.
The Zabbix server stores its data in a relational database powered by MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle. You can also store historical data in nosql databases like Elasticsearch and TimescaleDB. Zabbix provides a web interface so you can view data and configure system settings.
In this tutorial, you will configure two machines. One will be configured as the server, and the other as a client that you’ll monitor. The server will use a MySQL database to record monitoring data and use Apache to serve the web interface.

Hi everyone.
I have some question about that.
It´s necesary 2 servers for this deploy?
Hi,
I installed the server but I keep seeing “Zabbix server is running No localhost:10051”. Any clues on how to fix that?
Thank you.
Hello,
I have a problem at mysql -uroot -p command.
It works before but when I tried it again to my newly created VM, it says:
-bash: mysql: command not found
I tried to look for its path using whereis mysql
then i dunno what to do next… Help? :(
mysql: /usr/lib64/mysql /usr/share/mysql
– Also, do you have a tutorial on using nginx instead of apache? :D
Thank you :)
Hi everyone, Thanks for this article. I am getting such an error. Root, Database etc. All the passwords are the same. Why can not I go through this step? http://prntscr.com/fubhsp
Note:I could not run these two commands. cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-3.0.4/ Run the following command to set up the schema and import the data into the zabbix database. We’ll use zcat since the data in the file is compressed.
Hi,
After configuring my zabbix server and agent according to your tutorial I am getting errors in both zabbix server and agent as shown below:
In Zabbix Server Host Configuration Page: The color of ZBX Availability is changing into red from green and getting following error message on Zabbix Active Check monitoring:
“Get value from agent failed: TCP successful, cannot establish TLS to ][0.0.0.0]:10050]: connection closed by peer”
In Zabbix Server Log: failed to accept an incoming connection: from [Agent IP] TLS connection has been closed during handshake::
In Zabbix Agent log: **active check configuration update from [server IP: 10051] is working again active check configuration update from [server IP: 10051] started to fail (TCP successful, cannot establish TLS to [[server IP: 10051]] SSL_connect() timed out) ** Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thank you for your tutotial. I can install Zabbix Server and Agent. But the agent cannot transfer data to server. The ZBX icon in Zabbix host is grey. And the zabbix_agentd.log is blank. What should I do next ?
I got this issue as below:
ERROR 1118 (42000) at line 1284: Row size too large (> 8126). Changing some columns to TEXT or BLOB may help. In current row format, BLOB prefix of 0 bytes is stored inline.
