5 Google Cloud deployment guide

Overview

This page describes how to deploy Zabbix using Google Cloud Marketplace.

Deploying appliance

First, deploy Zabbix appliance. That's really easy with Google Cloud Marketplace. Simply go to Zabbix Server product on the marketplace.

Click Get started.

You can take the default settings or customize them. When complete, click Deploy.

The deployment is now in progress. Wait for it to complete.

That's it! The deployment has now started.

Accessing the appliance

When deployment is complete you should see:

Open a web browser to Site Address to view Zabbix frontend. Before that, grab Zabbix Admin user's password to log in to your Zabbix appliance.

Great! You now have Zabbix appliance.

You can also log in to the instance to interact with the database. To do that go back to the Google console and follow the red arrow as shown below to start an ssh session using the Open in browser window option.

MySQL is available without a root password. The password is stored in the /root/.my.cnf configuration file. By default, Zabbix appliance uses the UTC timezone. If you need to change it, edit date.timezone PHP configuration directive in /etc/php.d/99-zabbix.ini and restart the php-fpm process: systemctl restart php-fpm.
