Zabbix 1.8.3 RPMs for CentOS and RHEL 5

[ericgearhart]

Once again I built RPMs for Zabbix using the OpenSUSE build service, updated to version 1.8.3

CentOS repository (i386 [32 bit] and x86_64 [64 bit] packages both available)

RedHat 5 repository (i386 [32 bit] and x86_64 [64 bit] packages both available)

There are .repo files located here as well.... you could wget these into /etc/yum.repos.d, and then in theory an install of Zabbix 1.8.3 would be as simple as running 'yum install zabbix zabbix-server zabbix-agent'

hey eric

I've been using your repository for my 1.8.2 install.. to install zabbix agent using YUM and it has been great. Now that its updated to 1.8.3 its going to install the 1.8.3 agent?

Will it function ok with a 1.8.2 Zabbix install?

It looks like you're asking me if a Zabbix 1.8.3 agent will work against a Zabbix 1.8.2 server

I don't have a Zabbix 1.8.2 server handy to test this... I would guess that a minor release like going from 1.8.2 -> 1.8.3 wouldn't matter, but I haven't tested this.

Do you have a test box that you could upgrade to Agent 1.8.3?

1.8.2 agent with 1.8.3 server

Hi,
I have had 1.8.2 agents for various Linux versions being monitored by 1.8.3 on CentOS for about a week and have not had any problems.

eric what are the chances of getting a zabbix agent compiled for XenServer added to the repository? I have lots of xenservers and it would make my life a lot easier.. I can provide you the compiled working agent

first look in /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-1.8.3
- here you will find the files to create db schema and populate it
next
config files are in /etc/zabbix
...
read what is zabbix-server and zabbix-proxy how they are used and when

after you have this you can go for web interface

no jabber support

Hi,
zabbix-server installed, but i have no jabber support, maybe adding iksemel dependency and compile with --with-jabber is good idea?
Also standard log paths will be nice (no problem to reconfigure ... but you know ;-) ).
