    static agent install docs?

    Are there installation docs specific to the agent static builds anywhere? The "Zabbix Manual" links on this page:

    go to a page that describes installing the server, not the client agents.
    All of the other pages mention just adding the repo and doing a yum install, which is unavailable to me:
    ---
    http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.4/rh...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.4/rh...ta/repomd.xml: (28, 'Connection timed out after 30001 milliseconds')
    Trying other mirror.
    ---
    ad infinitum

    When I unpack the tarball for the statically built client agent into /opt, and start the agent, I get:
    # ./zabbix_agentd
    zabbix_agentd [3673]: cannot open config file "/usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf": [2] No such file or directory

    So clearly, it expects some default locations, but they don't appear to be documented anywhere. And "just drop it in /usr/local of course!" doesn't help, as I am limited to where I can install (usually NOT the default locations). Maybe the agent also expects options? I wouldn't know since there's no man page or README included.

    Help?
