• Install and configure Zabbix for your platform

    a. Install Zabbix repository

    Disable Zabbix packages provided by EPEL, if you have it installed. Edit file /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo and add the following statement.

    [epel]
    ...
    excludepkgs=zabbix*

    Proceed with installing zabbix repository.

    # rpm -Uvh https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.4/release/alma/10/noarch/zabbix-release-latest-7.4.el10.noarch.rpm
    # dnf clean all
    b. Install Zabbix server, frontend, agent
    # dnf install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-selinux-policy zabbix-agent
    c. Create initial database

    Make sure you have database server up and running.

    Run the following on your database host.

    # mysql -uroot -p
    password
    mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin;
    mysql> create user zabbix@localhost identified by 'password';
    mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost;
    mysql> set global log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;
    mysql> quit;

    On Zabbix server host import initial schema and data. You will be prompted to enter your newly created password.

    # zcat /usr/share/zabbix/sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz | mysql --default-character-set=utf8mb4 -uzabbix -p zabbix

    Disable log_bin_trust_function_creators option after importing database schema.

    # mysql -uroot -p
    password
    mysql> set global log_bin_trust_function_creators = 0;
    mysql> quit;
    d. Configure the database for Zabbix server

    Edit file /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

    DBPassword=password
    e. Start Zabbix server and agent processes

    Start Zabbix server and agent processes and make it start at system boot.

    # systemctl restart zabbix-server zabbix-agent httpd php-fpm
    # systemctl enable zabbix-server zabbix-agent httpd php-fpm
    f. Open Zabbix UI web page
