How to install zabbix agent on XCP-ng 8.1.0

[Ostad]

Hi,

does anyone have an idea how I can install zabbix agent on Xenserver with XCP-ng OS?

# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="XCP-ng"
VERSION="8.1.0"
ID="xenenterprise"
ID_LIKE="centos rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="8.1.0"
PRETTY_NAME="XCP-ng 8.1.0"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
HOME_URL="http://xcp-ng.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp"

# uname -a
Linux xen1 4.19.0+1 Home SMP Thu Feb 13 17:34:28 CET 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried to add the repo with this command but I got an error.

# rpm -Uvh https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.0/rhel/8/x86_64/zabbix-agent-6.0.7-1.el8.x86_64.rpm

then I tried to install the dependencies but I got an error again

Example

# yum install libcrypto.so.1.1 -y
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C
No package libcrypto.so.1.1 available.
Error: Nothing to do

any idea or help would be grateful

Thanks

Looking for a solution to install Zabbix 7.0 agent on XCP-NG 8.3 the code for above seems to be for older versions. Does anyone have a more up-to-date solution for the newer release?

Thanks in advance!

For anyone trying to get Zabbix Agent 7.0 installed on XCP-NG 8.3 These are the steps that finally worked for me. I ran these steps on several XCP-NG 8.3 hosts and it worked every time

Installing a Zabbix Agent on XCP-NG for Zabbix 7.0 involves the following steps:

1. yum update
2. yum install https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.0/r...el7.noarch.rpm
3. yum update && yum install -y pcre2 --enablerepo=epel,base,updates
4. yum install zabbix-agent
5. nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf (edit the configuration file)
6. systemctl restart zabbix-agent
7. systemctl enable zabbix-agent
