Zabbix on Raspberry - how to get started?

[TheYouth]

Hello,
I wanted to install Zabbix on an Raspberry. Is there any working tutorial out there which includes the Gui install?
Thanks!

You can not install from the GUI.
Since the package for Raspberry Pi is not officially released, consider installing from the source.

If you can read Japanese, I can show you how to create packages under a specific OS environment.

However, if you run the Zabbix server, a lot of database writes will occur. If you are using SD card only, pay attention to the life of the SD card.

Hey TheYouth I don't know if you are still having issues, but I was able to get Zabbix installed on a Pi3 following the instructions for Debian (Stretch). RaspberryPi runs on a custom version of Debian called Raspbian. For most cases, follow the instructions for installing from Debian and you should be alright.

But keep in mind that there is no GUI install for Zabbix. You will either need to install from source or from the package offered on the Zabbix website.

I have successfully installed Zabbix on Raspberry Pi 3 and documented everything in this guide:

https://bestmonitoringtools.com/how-to-install-zabbix-on-raspberry-pi-raspbian/

If you buy SD card with 95MB/s Read/Write or more, make OS, Apache, Zabbix, and DB optimization, you will be able to monitor 400 devices gathering 125 metrics every 5 minutes from each device.

I installed Zabbix last 4.2 release (4.2.7) on a Raspberry 4 B under Raspbian 10. Everything performs well until the schema importation.
I get the following error message :
ERROR 1118 (42000) at line 1284: Row size too large (> 8126). Changing some columns to TEXT or BLOB may help. In current row format, BLOB prefix of 0 bytes is stored inline.
Any idea before I try version 4.4.
Many thanks for your help.

I didn't experiance that problem but there is offical ticket for that error https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-16465

For a workaround it is enough to disable strict mode before the import or the upgrade of Zabbix schema:
set global innodb_strict_mode='OFF';

After database is imported or upgraded it is safe to enable strict mode again:
set global innodb_strict_mode='ON';

I have updated guide to cover 4.4 (that version doesn't have mention error):
