Unable to Install Zabbix on CentOS 7

[gcirtwell]

Hello,

Trying to get Zabbix setup on CentOS 7 to replace the barebones (and what I find difficult to customize) LibreNMS. I have Apache and MySQL installed. Trying to follow the commands on https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabb...centos&os_vers ion=7&db=&ws= and experiencing a set of errors. (apologies in advance, I can't find how to insert or highlight the commands and output to delineate)

Command that causes the error:
yum install zabbix-agent

Output from the command:
# yum install zabbix-agent

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

When I attempt adding --skip-broken I receive:

Question
Anyone know of the solution to what's happening and how to install Zabbix on CentOS 7?

[Atsushi]

Looking at the logs, it looks like you have installed the zabbix-release package for RHEL 8. Packages for RHEL 8 cannot be used on RHEL 7 (CentOS 7). Please reinstall to zabbix-release package for RHEL 7.

Thanks! I did take a look yesterday, but couldn't figure out how to take this down. I was definitely using the wrong package. Used the one for CentOS 7 and made it further. You replied in my other post seeking help that the install completed with no errors, but there is a file missing from the directory. We can continue the conversation over there.
