    installing zabbix agent

    Hi, I just finished setting up our Zabbix network monitoring for our web servers. So what I did was add all of our hosts one by one. For a detailed instructions, I input the ff:

    Hostname: <which is normally the ip address>
    DisplayName:
    and the interface hostname: <again the host ip address, same as above>
    Added the Template since my server is Centos, I put in Template for OS Linux

    Some servers were detected and graphs started to come out except for some, so I doubted could be there is no zabbix-agent present.

    Ok, 1st question, my zabbix server is version 3.2.1, if I typed in "yum install zabbix zabbix-agent" in my host, it gives me zabbix2.2 version, so my suspect is the epel or repo is not updated.

    I tried to add another repo version 3.2.1 but as soon as I typed in again yum install zabbix and zabbix-agent, it shows me conflicts between zabbix22.

    So I decided to perform yum update but my 2nd question is, if I perform yum update will it affect or modify my current firewall settings? like the firewalld? WIll it turned back on SELinux? etc etc, I mean will it stay as is my settings or will it turn some default settings after the update? I'm having doubt because this is already a production server and if I messed this one up, I might not be able to go home >.<

    Thanks
