*SME Server 7.X
*SME Server 7.X (9.X or higher for zabbix-server)
*php-bcmath (smeserver-zabbix-server only): if you have the standard php4 packages, it should be ok. If you have upgraded to php5 from centosplus repo, you should manually install php-bcmath package
*php>=5.4 for zabbix server only, hence you will need to first install smeserver-php-scl on SME9 and set php54 or higher as default php version

==== Server ====
==== Server ====
The server is the core component of Zabbix software. It uses one database (MySQL in this contrib) to store configuration, performance and integrity informations. The server can check network services with simple check (ICMP, TCP etc...) for agent-less monitoring, it can monitor network devices using SNMP and is also the central component to which agent report informations (agent can work in active, passive, or both mode). The server will also analyse all the informations and send alerts depending on very flexible triggers.

===== Installation on SME9=====
First enable the needed repo: Firewall service and REMI
{{:Fws}}
{{:Remi-safe}}
signal-event yum-modify
to install Zabbix server, just use yum:
to install Zabbix server, just use yum:
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-zabbix-server
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs,fws,remi-safe install smeserver-zabbix-server --exclude=smeserver-zabbix-proxy
NB: the --exclude=smeserver-zabbix-proxy is due to a conflict in late 2019 on SME9 as FWS started using zabbix from zabbix repo instead of building it. We will fix this for SME10 in few months.
then go to your server-manager to set php5.4 or higher as default php for your SME, or you will not be able to access to zabbix web gui, or just issue the following
config setprop php54 PhpModule enabled #replace here with php55 or php56 if you have other needs
signal-event php-update
then you will have to either tweak the default configuration as explain in next step or just issue :
signal-event zabbix-server-update
then go to your web interface : https://yourserveradress/zabbix
===== DB Parameters =====
===== DB Parameters =====
*'''JabberPassword''': Password for the account (for "JabberAccount")
*'''JabberPassword''': Password for the account (for "JabberAccount")
*'''JabberTLS''': (enabled|disabled) Does your Jabber server requires TLS security
*'''JabberTLS''': (enabled|disabled) Does your Jabber server requires TLS security
{{Note box|The different Jabber settings above are not for the built-in jabber notification function (because I couldn't get it working as my server requires TLS and the built-in feature do not support it). But I've included a external script using sendxmpp to send the notification. You should have a media called 'xmpp' in zabbix administration. }}

Zabbix agent is a very small daemon which will gather informations about the host being monitored, and report it to one or several server(s) (or proxy(s)).

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).

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 =====
===== Additional checks =====
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 informations on how to create the corresponding item on the server.

==== Proxy ====
==== Proxy ====
Zabbix proxy is a lightweight daemon. It will act as a server for agents, will cache locally (in a mysql database) the informations, and send it to the server it belongs to. This is useful to monitor networks elements behind a firewall.
