how to Zabbix Agent on Mac OS X

[mdk]

Hi,
Can any one tell me, how to install Zabbix Agent on Mac OS X?

Hi,

You can install Zabbix agent on OS X by compiling it from sources as on any other UNIX system.

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/installation/install

Download the files, extract, and run the configure

./configure --enable-agent

And follow the documentation for additional steps.

Best Regards,

Mac agent should be available as a binary for download

That's all very well, but it would be better to have a binary ready for download exactly like it is the case for Windows, for instance.

You could send a request to the zabbix dev team, or put it in the suggestion forum.

The reality though is that monitoring OSX likely isn't very common so I am not sure if it's an RPM they would want to support.

osx agent

Can you specify which agent to use there is no osx only different linux and unix ones?

The best way to do it is to install HomeBrew (http://osxdaily.com/2018/03/07/how-i...mebrew-mac-os/) then just run brew install --without-server-proxy and you are set :-D

# brew install --without-server-proxy zabbix
Error: Running Homebrew as root is extremely dangerous and no longer supported.
As Homebrew does not drop privileges on installation you would be giving all
build scripts full access to your system.

So - it does not "fly"
