CentOS 8 package missing zabbix_get?

[ddougan]

I created a new CentOS 8 VM and downloaded 5.0 LTS packages per the installation instructions. The Zabbix server is running and gathering information - the only issue I have with the installation is that there is no zabbix_get executable found. The RPMs I have installed are:

rpm -qa|grep zabbix
zabbix-release-5.0-1.el8.noarch
zabbix-web-mysql-5.0.1-1.el8.noarch
zabbix-server-mysql-5.0.1-1.el8.x86_64
zabbix-web-5.0.1-1.el8.noarch
zabbix-agent-5.0.1-1.el8.x86_64
zabbix-apache-conf-5.0.1-1.el8.noarch

In /usr/sbin I see:

ll /usr/sbin/za*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 844800 May 28 02:11 /usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 31 Jun 6 17:06 /usr/sbin/zabbix_server -> /etc/alternatives/zabbix-server
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4498800 May 28 02:11 /usr/sbin/zabbix_server_mysql

Guidance appreciated - I'm new to Zabbix and zabbix_get is a useful tool from the reading I've been doing.


Thanks,

Try

sudo yum whatprovides zabbix_get

I think it's been split off into its own package, but 'whatprovides' with a name or path will tell you more

Thanks - it is indeed a separate package. Looks like the install docs need a tweak. Many thanks for your reply.
