    Not just a newbie q...a stupid q.

    I am simply trying to install the Zabbix Agent on a Linux system.

    I've read the forums, the zabbix help, etc. I have all my windows clients and snmp devices polling great. The Linux systems? Not at all.

    I tried this...
    Zabbix 2.0 packages for RHEL, CentOS, SL - Zabbix Blog
    http://blog.zabbix.com/zabbix-2-0-packages-for-rhel-centos-sl/1893/
    EPEL finally offers Zabbix 2.0 packages. These packages are for you, if you are running RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux or any other Red Hat derivative. EPEL aims to provide best quality packages, that follow the same rules and conventions as Red Hat packages and therefore integrate smoothly. If you know what EPEL is, keep on […]


    It keeps saying "Nothing to do"

      I don't install through packages, so I can't really help you out there, but here is a link to the latest official Zabbix packages. Maybe that will be of help to you to try these instead, or maybe some of the folks that do install through packages can chime in here.

          ...and then the linux noob says "I've been to this page...but I don't know what package to choose, nor what to do with it for CentOS"...

              The 1.8 Zabbix installation from the package manager worked great in Ubuntu, Fedora Core and RHEL for us. The only settings that I need to change after the installation are the Zabbix server IP and the hostname of the host that I want to monitor.

              The Linux Zabbix Agent is the only Zabbix component that I install from the package manager. For Windows Zabbix Agents, Zabbix Proxies and Zabbix Servers I compile & install them from source.

              Could you perhaps copy your command-line output (which includes the command(s) that you executed), as well as the OS/distro that you're using?

                      You're most likely getting that error because you haven't installed EPEL (or at least this is my best guess).
                      Have a look at http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/06/...el-repository/ for how to enable EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux).

                      Once you've "enabled" that repository, the zabbix20-agent should be available for installatioin.
