如何获取 ZABBIX

在 Zabbix 主页 http://www.zabbix.com 上找到当版版本及其下载说明。

要求

硬件要求

存储要求

ZABBIX 对物理内存和硬盘存储容量都有要求，128 MB 的物理内存和至少 256 MB 空闲的硬盘空间是将一个好的开始点。不过，其所需磁盘空间的大小显然有赖于主机及其所需监控参数的数量。如果您想保留监控参数一个较长的历史记录，那么您应该考虑至少 2 到 3 G 的空间用以保存数据库中的历史记录。

Each ZABBIX daemon process requires several connections to a database server. Amount of memory allocated for the connection depends on configuration of the database engine. 每个 Zabbix 守护程序进程都需要几条到数据库服务器的连接。分配给连接的内存总量也有赖于数据库引擎的配置。

---

注意： 您的物理内存越多，那么您数据库（因此 Zabbix）运行的也就越快！

---

CPU 要求

ZABBIX，特别是 ZABBIX 数据库可能要求大量的 CPU 资源，这有赖于监控参数的数量以及所选数据库的引擎。

其他硬件

为使用Zabbix 内建的 SMS 通知，要求使用一个串行通信口和一个串行 GSM 调制器。

硬件配置的范例

下表提供了一些硬件配置:

Name	操作系统	CPU/内存	数据库	被监测主机数
小型	Ubuntu Linux	P2 350MHz/256MB	MySQL MyISAM	20
中型	Ubuntu Linux 64 bit	AMD Athlon 3200+/2GB	MySQL MyISAM	500
大型	Ubuntu Linux 64 bit	Intel Dual Core 6400/4GB/RAID	MySQL MyISAM or PostgreSQL	>1000
Very large	RedHat Enterprise	Intel Xeon 2 CPU/8GB/RAID	MySQL MyISAM or PostgreSQL	>10000

---

注意: 实际配置特别有赖于激活监测项的数目以及刷新率。It is recommended to keep database engine on a separate box for large installations.

---

支持的操作系统

出于监测服务器的安全需求和对关键任务的判断，Unix 是唯一能够持续提供必要的性能、容错能力以及恢复能力的操作系统。ZABBIX 支持目前市场上的主流版本。

ZABBIX 在以下操作系统中测试过：

• AIX
• FreeBSD
• HP-UX
• Linux
• Mac OS/X
• OpenBSD
• SCO Open Server
• Solaris

---

注意： ZABBIX 也可能在其它的类 Unix 操作系统中良好运行。

---

软件需求

ZABBIX is built around modern Apache WEB server, leading database engines, and the PHP scripting language.

The following software is required to run ZABBIX:

Software	Version	Comments
Apache	1.3.12 or later
PHP	4.3 or later
PHP modules: php-gd php-bcmath	4.3 or later	PHP GD module must support PNG images.
MySQL php-mysql	3.22 or later	Required if MySQL is used as ZABBIX backend database.
Oracle php-sqlora8	9.2.0.4 or later	Required if Oracle is used as ZABBIX backend database.
PostgreSQL php-pgsql	7.0.2 or later	Required if PostgreSQL is used as ZABBIX backend database.Consider using PostgreSQL 8.x or later for much better performance.
SQLite php-sqlite3	3.3.5 or later	Required if SQLite is used as ZABBIX backend database.

---

Note: ZABBIX may work on previous versions of Apache, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL as well.

---

WEB browser on client side

Support for HTML and PNG images required. MS Explorer (5.xx and 6.xx) and Mozilla 1.x work perfectly. Cookies and JavaScript must be enabled. Other browsers may work with ZABBIX as well.

Choice of database engine

ZABBIX supports four database engines:

• MySQL
• Oracle
• PostgreSQL
• SQLite

Each database engine has its own advantages. We cannot recommend one over another.

Choice of database engine depends on the following aspects:

• how powerful is your hardware
• free or commercial database engine
• how busy is ZABBIX Server

The table can be used as a general recommendation on choice of database engine.

Usage of ZABBIX Server	Database engine of choice
Heavy duty Node/Standalone	MySQL MyISAM
Light duty Node/Standalone	PostgreSQL MySQL MyISAM
Remote zero-admin Node	PostgreSQL SQLite
Standalone light duty	MySQL MyISAM

Time synchronisation

It is very important to have precise system date on server with ZABBIX running. timed is one of most popular daemons that synchronises the host’s time with the time of other machines.

Components

ZABBIX Components

ZABBIX consists of several major software components, the responsibilities of which are outlined below.

ZABBIX Server

This is the centre of the ZABBIX software. The Server can remotely check networked services (such as web servers and mail servers) using simple service checks, but it is also the central component to which the Agents will report availability and integrity information and statistics. The Server is the central repository in which all configuration, statistical and operational data are stored, and it is the entity in the ZABBIX software that will actively alert administrators when problems arise in any of the monitored systems.

ZABBIX can also perform agent-less monitoring and also monitor network devices using SNMP agents.

ZABBIX Agent

In order to actively monitor local resources and applications (such as harddrives, memory, processor statistics etc.) on networked systems, those systems must run the ZABBIX Agent. The Agent will gather operational information from the system on which it is running, and report these data to the ZABBIX for further processing. In case of failures (such as a harddisk running full, or a crashed service process), the ZABBIX Server can actively alert the administrators of the particular machine that reported the failure.

The ZABBIX Agents are extremely efficient because of use of native system calls for gathering statistical information.

The WEB Interface

In order to allow easy access to the monitoring data and then configuration of ZABBIX from anywhere and from any platform, the Web-based Interface is provided. The Interface is a part of the ZABBIX Server, and is usually (but not necessarily) run on the same physical machine as the one running the ZABBIX Server.

---

Note: ZABBIX front-end must run on the same physical machine of SQLite is used.

---

Installation from Source

ZABBIX Server

Server side

Step 1 Create the ZABBIX superuser account

This is the user the server will run as. For production use you should create a dedicated unprivileged account ('zabbix' is commonly used). Running ZABBIX as 'root','bin', or any other account with special rights is a security risk. Do not do it!

---

Note: ZABBIX server process (zabbix_server) is protected from being run under root account.

---

Step 2 Untar ZABBIX sources

shell> gunzip zabbix.tar.gz && tar -xvf zabbix.tar

Step 3 Create the ZABBIX database

ZABBIX comes with SQL scripts used to create the required database schema and also to insert a default configuration. There are separate scripts for MySQL and PostgreSQL.

For MySQL:

shell> mysql -u<username> -p<password>
mysql> create database zabbix;
mysql> quit;
shell> cd create/mysql
shell> cat schema.sql |mysql -u<username> -p<password> zabbix
shell> cd ../data
shell> cat data.sql |mysql -u<username> -p<password> zabbix
shell> cat images_mysql.sql |mysql -u<username> -p<password> zabbix

For PostgreSQL:

shell> psql -U <username>
psql> create database zabbix;
psql> \q
shell> cd create/postgresql
shell> cat schema.sql|psql -U <username> zabbix
shell> cd ../data
shell> cat data.sql|psql -U <username> zabbix
shell> cat images_pgsql.sql |psql -U <username> zabbix

For SQLite:

shell> cd create/sqlite
shell> cat schema.sql | sqlite3 /var/lib/sqlite/zabbix.db
shell> cd ../data
shell> cat data.sql | sqlite3 /var/lib/sqlite/zabbix.db
shell> cat images.sql | sqlite3 /var/lib/sqlite/zabbix.db

---

Note: The database will be automatically created if not exists.

---

Step 4 Configure and compile the source code for your system

The sources must be compiled for both the server (monitoring machine) as well as the clients (monitored machines). To configure the source for the server, you must specify which database will be used.

shell> ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp –with-jabber –with-libcurl # for MySQL + Jabber + WEB monitoring

or

shell> ./configure --enable-server --with-pgsql --with-net-snmp –with-jabber –with-libcurl # for PostgreSQL + Jabber + WEB monitoring

or

shell> ./configure --enable-server --with-oracle=/home/zabbix/sqlora8 --with-net-snmp –with-jabber –with-libcurl # for Oracle + Jabber + WEB monitoring

---

Note: Use flag --with-oracle to specify location of sqlora8 library. The libary is required for Oracle support. The library can be found at libsqlora8 homepage

---

---

Note: Use flag --enable-static to statically link libraries. If you plan to distribute compiled binaries among different servers, you must use this flag to make these binaries work without required libraries. --enable-static does not work under Solaris. Flag --with-ucd-snmp can be used instead of --with-net-snmp. If no SNMP support required, both --with-net-snmp and --with-ucd-snmp may be skipped.

---

However, if you want to compile client binaries along with server binaries, run:

shell> ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber –with-libcurl

Parameter —enable-static may be used to force static linkage.

Step 5 Make and install everything

shell> make install

By default,

make install

will install all the files in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than /usr/local using --prefix

Step 6 Configure /etc/services

The step is not real requirement. However, it is recommended. On the client (monitored) machines, add the following lines to /etc/services:

zabbix_agent 10050/tcp
zabbix_trap 10051/tcp

Step 7 Configure /etc/inetd.conf

If you plan to use zabbix_agent instead of the recommended zabbix_agentd, the following line must be added:

zabbix_agent stream tcp nowait.3600 zabbix /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agent

Restart inetd

shell> killall -HUP inetd

Modify default settings in configuration files

Step 8 Configure /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent.conf

You need to configure this file for every host having zabbix_agent installed. The file should contain IP address of ZABBIX server. Connections from other hosts will be denied. You may take misc/conf/zabbix_agent.conf as example.

Step 9 Configure /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

You need to configure this file for every host with zabbix_agentd installed. The file should contain the IP address of the ZABBIX server. Connectionsfrom other hosts will be denied. You may take misc/conf/zabbix_agentd.conf as example.

Step 10 Configure /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

For small installations (up to ten monitored hosts), default parameters are sufficient. However, you should change default parameters to maximize performance from ZABBIX. See section [Performance tuning] for more details.

You may take misc/conf/zabbix_server.conf as example.

Step 11 Run server processes

Run zabbix_server on server side.

shell> cd bin
shell> ./zabbix_server

Step 12 Run agents

Run zabbix_agentd where necessary.

shell> cd bin
shell> ./zabbix_agentd

ZABBIX Agent

Client side

Step 1 Create the ZABBIX account

This is the user the agent will run as. For production use you should create a dedicated unprivileged account (“zabbix” is commonly used). ZABBIX agents have protection against running under root account.

Step 2 Untar ZABBIX sources

shell> gunzip zabbix.tar.gz && tar xvf zabbix.tar

Step 3 Configure and compile the source code for your system

The sources must be compiled for the client only. To configure the source for the client:

shell> ./configure --enable-agent

Note: Use flag --enable-static to statically link libraries. If you plan to distribute compiled binaries among different servers, you must use this flag to make these binaries work without required libraries.

Step 4 Build agent

shell> make

Copy created binaries from bin/ to /opt/zabbix/bin or any other directory Other common directories are /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/zabbix/bin.

Step 5 Configure /etc/services

The step is not real requirement. However, it is recommended. On the client (monitored) machines, add the following lines to /etc/services:

zabbix_agent 10050/tcp
zabbix_trap 10051/tcp

Step 6 Configure /etc/inetd.conf

If you plan to use zabbix_agent instead of the recommended zabbix_agentd, the following line must be added:

zabbix_agent stream tcp nowait.3600 zabbix /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agent

Restart inetd

shell> killall -HUP inetd

Step 7 Configure /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent.conf

You need to configure this file for every host having zabbix_agent installed. The file should contain IP address of ZABBIX server. Connections from other hosts will be denied. Note, that no end of line character should present in the file.

You may take misc/conf/zabbix_agent.conf as example.

Step 8 Configure /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

You need to configure this file for every host with zabbix_agentd installed. The file should contain IP address of ZABBIX server. Connections from other hosts will be denied. You may take misc/conf/zabbix_agentd.conf as example.

Step 9 Run zabbix_agentd on all monitored machines

shell> /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agentd

---

Note: You should not run zabbix_agentd if you have chosen to use zabbix_agent!

---

ZABBIX WEB Interface

Step 1 Point your browser to ZABBIX URL.

Step 2 Read and accept GPL v2.

Step 3 Make sure that all software pre-requisites are met.

Step 4 Configure database settings. ZABBIX database must already be created.

Step 5 See summary of settings.

Step 6 Download configuration file and place it under conf/.

Step 7 Check if everything is fine.

Step 9 For distributed monitoring only!

If used in a distributed environment you have to run:

shell> ./zabbix_server –n <nodeid>

where Node ID is an unique Node identificator. For example:

shell> ./zabbix_server –n 1

This will convert database data for use with Node ID ‘1’ and also adds a local node.

Step 10 ZABBIX frontend is ready! Default username is ‘Admin’ with no password.
