Zabbix MacOS

[SamuelD]

Hello, I have consistently run into issues installing and operating zabbix agents unto MacOs. It is usually missing some sort of packages. I have gotten it to work in the past with older macs and older versions of zabbix packages. The Zabbix documentation on MacOs install is very short and limited and I have not gotten good information. I tried to install it unto a Mac today using Homebrew but I ran into authorization and issues with it unable to start.

"Error: Invalid usage: Formula `zabbix` has not implemented"

I can expand on individual issues, but I would love access to more documentation, and information on this. Thank you

Hello, I have since made my own fix using Homebrew.
Install Homebrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Restart console and install zabbix

brew install zabbix

Edit the config

sudo vim /opt/homebrew/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

Navigate to the zab directory

cd /opt/homebrew/sbin

"./" MacOs execution

./zabbix_agentd

Check for process

ps aux | grep zab

you could share MacOS version, arch and zabbix version to start conversation...
MacOS has prebuilt packages ,what is a problem?

It was more generalized, at my work, I have to work with MacOS machines made in 2017-2025, maybe 2026 soon. I made my own archaic solution, but today I have woken up to my patch work coming into errors. I think the application doesn't start on boot due to it being homebrew. I have to learn more about homebrew, but the main reason I started this thread was to maybe obtain some amount of documentation or advice in any regard to MacOS and Zabbix. I wasn't including specifics because it wasn't the main direction of my question. Thank you for you reply to my thread, I am grateful for any amount of knowledge I could receive.

Edit: For example, one of the devices is on macOS Squoia Version 15.3.1.

Why are you using homebrew? Official way is to use MacOS packages from https://www.zabbix.com/download_agents. There is MacOS package.
