Multiple Sites

Hi Wick,

I have two customer and i would like to monitor using just one Zabbix Server.

Customer One - Has a Central Location (Main Site) and 10 remote locations(Remote sites);

Customer Two - Has a Central Location (Main site) and 2 Remote Locations (Remote sites)

I would like to monitor both customers with all sites using the one Zabbix Server, is it possible?

Should i use a proxy per location?

Thanks in advance

Vinicius

These remote central sites already have a supervisory server in place?
You can do it by proxy on the central site on each customer.

Thx Wick, that was my ideia, do you have any material of dashboards of it?

material of dashbord ? i don't understand ...
Zabbix Server is easy to install and configure the same for Proxy

For all linux machine do that :

# wget http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/debian/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_3.2-1+jessie_all.deb
# dpkg -i zabbix-release_3.2-1+jessie_all.deb
# apt-get update

For the server do that :

# apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php

shell> mysql -uroot -p<root_password>
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by '<password>';
mysql> quit;

# zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql/create.sql.gz | mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix


# nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
DBHost=localhost
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=<password>

# service zabbix-server start
# update-rc.d zabbix-server enable

# nano  /etc/zabbix/apache.conf
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 16M
php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1
php_value date.timezone Europe/Riga


# service apache2 restart

and on your browser go to http://<your_ip_address>/zabbix
and follow the configuration of the frontend

For the Proxy do something like that :

# apt-get install zabbix-proxy-mysql
shell> mysql -uroot -p<root_password>
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by '<password>';
mysql> quit;

# zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-proxy-mysql/schema.sql.gz | mysql -u<username> zabbix

# nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.conf
Server = < Server_IP >
Hostname = <Your_hostname_unique_to configure_proxy_on_server>

# service zabbix-proxy start

For the Zabbix Agent on all your remote Linux server :

# apt-get install zabbix-agent

# nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
Server =< Proxy_IP >
ServerActive =< Proxy_IP >

# service zabbix-agent start

For the Zabbix Agent on all your remote Windows server :

https://www.zabbix.com/downloads/3.2.0/zabbix_agents_3.2.0.win.zip

Create a directory Zabbix Where you want 
c:\Zabbix
Copy your compressed file in this directory

Change the config file in conf directory

Server =< Ip_Proxy>
ServerActive =< Ip_proxy >
HostMetadataItem=system.uname

cd c:\Zabbix\bin\win64
or 
cd c:\Zabbix\bin\win32
zabbix_agentd.exe -c c:\Zabbix\conf\zabbix_agentd.win.conf --install
zabbix_agentd.exe --config .\zabbix_agentd.conf --start

After that go on your server

http://<IP_SERVER>/zabbix

Go to Administration/Proxies
Click on Create Proxy
Put the hostname of the config proxy on the Proxy Name !!! Important
Select Active
Click Add

If all is good after 1 minute Last seen change to 1s

Go to Configuration/Actions
Event Sources Auto-Registration
After click on Create action
Name it Linux
In New Condition Select Host metadata Like Linux
In Operations tab Click New
Operation type : Add Host -> Click on th little Add
New again
Operation type : Add to Host Group -> Select the Host Group -> Click on th little Add
New again again ^^
Operation type : Link to Template -> Select Template OS Linux -> Click on th little Add
AND Click on the big add
Do the same thing for Windows
and wait i think it's good after that

You could see your remote Host

I think it's complete ^^
