    By RahulMay 9, 20233 Mins Read

    Zabbix is a powerful open-source monitoring solution that allows you to monitor the performance of your servers, networks, and applications. In this article, we will guide you through the process of installing the Zabbix client (also known as Zabbix Agent) on Ubuntu 22.04. The Zabbix Agent is responsible for collecting system data and sending it to the Zabbix server for further analysis and storage.

    Prerequisites

    • Ubuntu 22.04 server or desktop instance
    • A user account with sudo privileges
    • Zabbix server up and running

    Step 1: Update Your System

    Before starting the installation process, it is always recommended to update your system. Open a terminal and execute the following commands:

    sudo apt update 
    sudo apt upgrade -y 
    

    Step 2: Install Zabbix Agent

    Now, we will install the Zabbix Agent from the official Zabbix repository. First, add the Zabbix repository to your system:

    wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.0/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_6.0-4+ubuntu22.04_all.deb  
    sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_6.0-4+ubuntu22.04_all.deb 
    sudo apt update 
    

    Next, install the Zabbix Agent:

    sudo apt install zabbix-agent 
    

    Step 3: Configure Zabbix Agent

    After the installation is complete, you need to configure the Zabbix Agent to communicate with the Zabbix server. Edit the Zabbix Agent configuration file using your preferred text editor:

    sudo nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf 
    

    Find the following lines and replace them with the correct information:

    1
    2
    3
    Server=<Zabbix_Server_IP>
    ServerActive=<Zabbix_Server_IP>
    Hostname=<Hostname_Of_Ubuntu_Client>

    Replace <Zabbix_Server_IP> with the IP address of your Zabbix server, and <Hostname_Of_Ubuntu_Client> with the hostname of your Ubuntu client. Save the changes and close the editor.

    Step 4: Start and Enable Zabbix Agent Service

    Now that the configuration is done, start the Zabbix Agent service and enable it to start automatically at boot:

    sudo systemctl start zabbix-agent 
    sudo systemctl enable zabbix-agent 
    

    You can check the status of the Zabbix Agent service with the following command:

    sudo systemctl status zabbix-agent
