    I am new to Zabbix. I have some queries..!
    I have installed Zabbix agent on windows server 2016, on IP=127.0.0.1 with default port=10050;
    Is there need to install Zabbix Server to access Zabbix UI and to configure database of Zabbix on any other System which has Linux OS?
    I’ve watched a couple of Videos and read some blog posts, but not understand the proper process of Installing, configuration, and accessing Zabbix.
    Can anyone help me with this?

      Yes, Zabbix is a server/client structure. Zabbix server need to install on one instance, this provide you Zabbix UI. Then you need to install Zabbix agent on each machine, you need to monitor.

      To fetch data from any machine, Zabbix connects agent on that system and collect data of that machine.

    Hi,

    What are the systems requirements for the installation of Zabbix Agent on a host?

    1. How much disk space does it take?
    2. How much storage does it take?
    3. What’s the CPU load?

      Disk space is less than 1MB. It uses about 20MB of RAM for typical workloads and less than 0.03% CPU.

    Great article and very useful thank you!
    One challenge for me was how to install the agent on hundreds of servers. If you’re interested, I’ve created an open source MSI builder (with WiX) to install the agent as you’ve described above.

    Please see https://github.com/cavaliercoder/zabbix-msi
