Simple Zabbix Agent setup

[ajhalls]

Just a quick post to say what I use to get a Zabbix Agent online.

apt install snmpd #(or net-snmp)
nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf #Replace all existing text with this
com2sec notConfigUser  default       SecretName #Secret name of community
group   notConfigGroup v1           notConfigUser
group   notConfigGroup v2c           notConfigUser
view	all	included	.1
access  notConfigGroup ""      any       noauth    exact  all none none
syslocation Unknown (edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf)
syscontact Root <root@localhost> (configure /etc/snmp/snmp.local.conf)
dontLogTCPWrappersConnects yes

apt install zabbix-agent
nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf #Replace all existing text with this
LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_agentd.log
Server=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #<-this needs to be the IP of the address of the zabbix-server
ListenPort=10050
Hostname=MediaServer # Use a unique name here on each server, it is case sensitive

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10050 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 161 -j ACCEPT
iptables-save

service snmpd restart
service zabbix-agent restart

When you add a server, you will not get the green lights on zabbix or snmp till you add the appropriate templates.
