Install Zabbix Agent on /var/opt ?

[daohai]

Dear All,
I have 1 question about zabbix agent install location :
+ I install zabbix agent offline by rpm package but when i install with command : rpm -ivh <filename.rpm> , it will automatic create zabbix folder in /etc so can i change default location from /etc to /opt/zabbix ?
Thank you so much

Hello,

If you want to load zabbix agent configuration file from another directory there are following options:
1. Build Zabbix Agent from sources and define --sysconfdir as your want;
2. You can try to change the zabbix-agent service systemd file(/usr/lib/systemd/system/zabbix-agent.service) and set another directory for configuration file.

Please note that in some cases when you are templates with pre-defined user parameters(e.g. MySQL DB Template) then zabbix_agent also load additional configuration files. Directory for them is defined in zabbix_agentd.conf file under Option: Include.

Thank you for your reply
can you give me some manual about build agent from source ? We must to download from : https://www.zabbix.com/download_agents ?

This is generic documentation for building zabbix components from source: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...lation/install

In your case you need to execute following:

./configure --enable-agent --sysconfdir=/opt/zabbix --prefix=/usr
make
make install
