To configure the agent – Instructions taken from – https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Install_on_openSUSE_/_SLES#Linux

• Edit /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf and point the agent to the zabbix server by changing the Server and ServerActive settings.
• Start the agent (rczabbix-agentd start)

 In case of without internet use below procedure.
--------------------------------------------------------------

step 1: Copy “zabbix_agent_suse11_sp3_64bit.tar” through winSCP in ‘/’ path.
Download Agent

# cd /

# tar –xzvf zabbix_agent_suse11_sp3_64bit.tar

# ls -l /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd

# chkconfig zabbix_agentd

# groupadd zabbix

# useradd -g zabbix zabbix

# id zabbix

# vi /opt/zabbix/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf

Server=x.x.x.x                                           àGive Proxy Server IP Address

ServerActive=x.x.x.x                               àGive Proxy Server IP Address

Hostname=hostname_x.x.x.x               àGive Hostname which we need to at frontend as well.

:wq!

NOTE:- under “Server” & “ServerActive” we have to give zabbix proxy IP and remember whatever you give the host name , same hostname have to give in the front end in zabbix.

# /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd restart

# ps -ef | grep zabbix

# chkconfig --list | grep zabbix

# chkconfig --level 3,5 zabbix_agentd on

# chkconfig --list | grep zabbix

Step 2:-  Now Restart the zabbix agent.

Ex:-

# /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent restart

NOW WE HAVE FINISHED ZABBIX AGENT INSTALLAION AT CLIENT SERVER.

Now we have to add in Zabbix front end.
