Zabbix Install Bash Script - *nux

[tekben]

Hi guys,

As I like this software a lot, I wrote a simple bash deploy script which get the source, compile, and run the agent.

It's very basic but it works, feel free to improve it.

Ps: don't forget to change the server IP and eventually the binaries location.

#!/bin/bash

wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zabbix/zabbix-1.4.2.tar.gz
sleep 2

tar xzf zabbix-1.4.2.tar.gz
cd zabbix-1.4.2
./configure --enable-agent
make
make install

echo "make complete"
sleep 2

groupadd zabbix
useradd -c 'zabbix' -d /home/zabbix -g zabbix -s /dev/null zabbix

echo "zabbix_agent 10050/tcp # Zabbix ports" >> /etc/services
echo "zabbix_trap 10051/tcp" >> /etc/services

echo Hostname=`uname -n` >> ./misc/conf/zabbix_agentd.conf

mkdir /etc/zabbix/

sed -e 's/Server=127.0.0.1/Server=XXXXXXXXXXX/g' ./misc/conf/zabbix_agentd.conf > /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

chown -R zabbix.zabbix /etc/zabbix

#Init Script

chmod +x /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent

#Debian
#update-rc.d defaults zabbix-agent

#Redhat
chkconfig --add zabbix-agent

/etc/init.d/zabbix-agent start


#tail /tmp/zabbix_agentd.log

This is evil ;-)

Especially this:
>echo "zabbix_agent 10050/tcp # Zabbix ports" >> /etc/services
>echo "zabbix_trap 10051/tcp" >> /etc/services

(how many zabbix lines you will have in /etc/services after couple installations?)

Those procedures should be done via OS packaging.

So zabbix deployment script should look like:

#!/bin/sh
servers=x.x.x.x,y.y.y.y
echo "zabbix-agent zabbix-agent/server string ${servers}" | debconf-set-selections
apt-get install zabbix-agent

or the same via yast/yum/whatever package system you use.

Yeah Right for the OS packaging.

just one last thing, I made this script for redhat and I could't find any RPM so...here's the way to simplify... a deployment.

RPMs are in the EPEL repository.
