zabbix not working

[bluemind2005]

Hello,

I have zabbix installed on my centos 6.8 and don't see any information as in regards to UI?

Here are the steps I executed on my CentOS.

wget http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/rh...el6.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh zabbix-release-3.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm

I want it to be installed on a one centos machine(server) and it to monitor itself (server) along with the other three machines(agents).

Would be great if we had some nice documented instructions.

Cheers
Jim

You have installed the RPM that adds the Zabbix repository to your system.

You need to continue installing the Zabbix components now. This is all covered in the documentation.

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.2/manual/installation/install_from_packages

You will see under the "Installation from packages" heading there are several steps that need to be completed. You have completed the first one: "Repository Installation"

Proceed with either the "Server installation with mysql" or the "Server installation with postgresql" section.

Thank you for your guidance, any idea why I am getting errors below.

Any update ? How to resolve?

zabbix-release-3.0-1.el6.src.rpm is rpm for package developer.
That is not for user.

Running a Zabbix server is not recommended on CentOS 6 from Zabbix version 3.0 or later.
There are points to be noted. PHP 5.4 or later is required.
PHP version of the standard package is 5.3.3 on CentOS 6.

If you want use Zabbix 3.0 or later, I think that CentOS 7 or later is recommended.

For the procedure to install Zabbix 3.2 on CentOS 6, please refer to the following URL.

[bluemind2005]

Understand and appreciate your input but with due respect if I really want to install install zabbix 3.0.0.1 on centos 6 can you provide me with the documentation ?

My work has rhel 6 so I want Zabbix 3.0 on that.

Also correct me if I'm not wrong there is some issue with the latest release of zabbix ?

[Atsushi]

RHEL 6 is not recommended environment for Zabbix 3.0.
For example, the SMTP authentication function can not be used.

For the installation procedure, please change the file path by the introduced procedure.

ex.

http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm

to

http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm

/usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-3.2.1/create.sql.gz
to
/usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-3.0.5/create.sql.gz

I was testing the 3.0RC's on RHEL 6.8, building from source. It worked OK, I'm sure I didn't build all the components, just enough to test the core and see the new UI.

If you have to run on an unsupported release, you have to own it, and you own all the broken pieces if it breaks :-)

Hello Friends,
As recommended, I did the first two steps

Any advice on mysql is saying command not found ?

Please note that I am now using CentOS 7

[root@loadbalancer ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
[root@loadbalancer ~]#

I had a look further and there seems to be no mysql binary installed?

Eagerly wait for response from Zabbix Guru's

[bluemind2005]

Issue resolved. Documentation MUST state that you have install mysql on your host. It would be even better to link to mysql latest documentation.
