==== Agent ====
 
==== Agent ====
   −
Zabbix agent is a very small daemon which will gather information about the host being monitored, and report it to one or several server(s) (or proxy(s)).
+
see [[Zabbix-agent]]
Agents can run in active or passive mode (or both):
  −
*In active mode, the agent will make outgoing connection to the server (port 10051 by default).
  −
*In passive mode, the server will connect to the agent (on port 10050 by default).
  −
 
  −
Please read Chap. 2.3.4.ZABBIX Agent page 39 and Chap. 3.3.ZABBIX Agent (UNIX, standalone daemon) of the manual for more information on Zabbix agent.

===== Install =====
  −
<tabs container><tab name="For SME 10">
  −
yum install smeserver-extrarepositories-zabbix
  −
 
  −
then you need to enable the one you want zabbix42, zabbix44, zabbix45, zabbix50, zabbix51, zabbix52, zabbix53. You need to have an agent at most equal to the server version. If your zabbix server is on an SME it should equal or lesser than zabbix42 as per 2021/03. You can upgrade the agent later.
  −
 
  −
yum install smeserver-zabbix-agent --enablerepo=smecontribs,zabbix42
  −
  −
</tab>
  −
<tab name="For SME 9">
  −
first enable the needed repo: Firewall service  and EPEL
  −
yum install smeserver-extrarepositories-epel smeserver-extrarepositories-fws
  −
signal-event yum-modify
  −
 
  −
to install Zabbix agent, just use yum:
  −
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs,fws,epel install smeserver-zabbix-agent
  −
</tab>
  −
</tabs>
  −
 
  −
This package will download at least the following dependencies:
  −
*zabbix (very small package with just common directories used by all zabbix components)
  −
*zabbix-agent (the agent)
  −
*smeserver-remoteuseraccess: this contrib is needed because it provides needed templates metadata for /etc/sudoers.
  −
 
  −
===== DB parameters =====
  −
 
  −
Here's the list of available DB parameters for zabbix-agent service on SME:
  −
*'''RemoteCommands''': (enabled|disabled). If you want to enable remote commands on zabbix agent (you should read the zabbix documentation). Please, be aware that there're security implications if you enable it. The default is disabled
  −
*'''ServerPort''': port to contact the server when running in active mode. Default to 10051
  −
*'''Servers''': List of servers (or proxy), separated by commas, to which send informations. The first one may be used for active checks, the others are only for passive mode
  −
*'''TCPPort''': TCP port on which the agent will listen if passive mode is enabled
  −
*'''access''': (public|private) If you want to open the agent on the public interface (only useful if passive is enabled). If you set this to 'public' you should use the AllowHosts key to limit the access
  −
*'''active''': (enabled|disabled) Do you want to enabled the active mode
  −
*'''passive''': (enabled|disabled) Do you want to enable the passive mode
  −
*'''status''': (enabled|disabled) Should the service be automatically started
  −
 
  −
 
  −
 
  −
Once you have everything configured like you want, just issue
  −
signal-event zabbix-agent-update
  −
 
  −
to expand the templates and restart the needed services.
  −
 
  −
===== Remote client with encryption =====
  −
on the client do:
  −
openssl rand -hex 32 > /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.psk
  −
chown :zabbix /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.psk
  −
chmod 640 /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.psk
  −
signal-event zabbix-agent-update
  −
cat /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.psk
  −
 
  −
you might also need a public access there:
  −
config setprop zabbix-agent  Servers IP1,IP2 access public  active disabled passive enabled AllowHosts IP1,IP2
  −
signal-event zabbix-agent-update
  −
 
  −
On the Zabbix server interface for this client select :
  −
# Connections to host: psk
  −
# Connections from host: psk
  −
# PSK identity: domain.name-agent
  −
# psk: [paste here the output of cat /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.psk]
  −
 
  −
===== agent on the local zabbix server =====
  −
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
  −
# config setprop zabbix-agent  access localhost  Servers localhost  active disabled  passive enabled
  −
# signal-event zabbix-agent-update
  −
</syntaxhighlight>
  −
 
  −
===== Additional checks =====
  −
 
  −
Even if Zabbix agent is great and support natively a lot of checks, some were missing for my use, so I've added  some UserParameters entries in the configuration file. For each of this check, you should add a new item with the name of the check as the key.
  −
Configuring the corresponding checks on the server can be quite long. You can have a look at the [http://sme.firewall-services.com/downloads/zabbix/zabbix_SME.zip templates] I use to monitor SME Servers. This archive contains some templates/items/graphs/triggers in XML format (exported from Zabbix). You can use the Import/Export functionality of Zabbix (Manual Chap. 8.XML IMPORT AND EXPORT page 154) to import it on your server.
  −
 
  −
You can also have a look at the configuration file /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf to see the commands used to return the corresponding values. You'll also find for each UserParameter information on how to create the corresponding item on the server.
  −
 
  −
Please, read chapter 4.11.User Parameters page 119 of the manual to have more information on how UserParameters work.
