Hello,
1st of all, I'm french, so english is not my primary language.
I am currently trying to deploy a full monitoring infrastructure for a small company in France, and we chose Zabbix to do that.
Some of the machines I need to install the proxy on, are Debian 8 machines (Jessie), and - as I discovered - it is only possible via the sources
But I am quite new to this, and I find it very difficult to find documentation on how to install proxy from sources, for Zabbix 5.2.
Could you please help me by directing me to some install/config documentation about it?
I had no difficulty installing and configuring my MSQL database, I did get help and I managed fine.
But I have some difficulty undersanding what to choose in the ./configure part.
I checked the --help option, but it confuses me a bit.
I think there'll be some dependencies to intall, also, but I don't know which ones
And in the end, I reckon there'll be a .service file to create (an I'm very new to this part also)
So, if some of you would be kind enough to guide me through this, or give me hints, or even point me to an existing guide that I haven't found yet, I'll be very grateful.
Thanks in advance
_Mathieu
PS : I have read the official documentation, several times, as well as some more things I googled. And I really tried to find everything I could before coming here to ask for help. Also, no one likes a dry RTFM
I'm no exception
