Install and Enable EPEL Repo:
| No Format |
|---|
yum -y install epel-release
|
This installs files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and enables the epel repository by default.
On some servers, leaving EPEL enabled may not be in keeping with best practices to keep as close to the distribution rpm set as possible, so you can set the EPEL repository to be disabled by default.
| No Format |
|---|
perl -npi -e 's/enabled=1/enabled=0/' /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
|
Installing Zabbix Agent
| No Format |
|---|
yum -y install zabbix22-agent
|
or if you have EPEL disabled:
| No Format |
|---|
yum --enablerepo=epel -y install zabbix20-agent
|
Configure Zabbix Agent to use monitor-pdc.rice.edu (10.143.195.18)
| No Format |
|---|
sed -i -e 's/Server=127.0.0.1/Server=10.143.195.18/' /etc |
Installing the Zabbix Agent, getting the files from monitor.rice.edu
The Zabbix Agent SitePkg contains the agent programs used by Zabbix clients. It leaves out the much larger server programs that are only needed on the Zabbix server.
The recommended agent program is the daemon, zabbix_agentd. Its default config file is /usr/site/zabbix_agent-VERSION/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf. Everything else is specified in the config file.

Verify IPTABLES for Zabbix connections
Be sure /etc/sysconfig/iptables Be sure IPTABLES is updated to accept connections on port 10050, from monitor-pdc.rice.edu (10.129143.92195.52. May be already
done with sitedisk iptables.18). MDI systems should already have this.
A simple example is below:

| No Format |
## accept Zabbix agent connections on port 10050, from zabbix server ## at 10.129.92.52 -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10050 -s 10.129143.92195.5218/32 -j ACCEPT |
