Starting Zabbix Server

[sjogie]

Can someone advise whether Zabbix monitoring can be used without installing the agent?

I have also completed installing the Zabbix Server, but not sure of how to access the interface from the browser.

I have not installed the agent as yet. Can i install the agent on the same machine but as a different user?

One last question is if it is possible to have zabbix monitor routers/switches?

Yes. Most data requires the agent to collect though.

Yes. You can also run it as the same user.

Yes
