hashnao's Blog: June 2013

I've got some opportunities to use zabbix not only for monitoring but mainly calculating system availability. It is just memorandum for me this time, but after introducing how to install zabbix-2.x on CentOS-6.x, I'm going to try some functions such as IT Services and Discovery.

Overview of System Structure/Middleware

OS	CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
Kernel	2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64
Language	ja_JP.UTF-8

role	package
WEB	httpd-2.2.15
DB	mysql-5.6.10
Monitoring	zabbix-2.0.11
Scripting Language	php-5.3.3

Note: I fixed to install zabbix-2.0.11 by referring to the URL where zabbix-2.0.11 have been stored because the latest version is being installed without specifying the version.

Installing zabbix

* install mysql

# wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.6/MySQL-shared-5.6.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm/from/http://cdn.mysql.com/

* MySQL-5.6 sets the initial password during the installation process, which is shown in "~/.mysql_secret"

# cat ~/.mysql_secret

* create database for zabbix

# service httpd start
# service mysql start

# mysqladmin -u root -p create zabbix
# mysql -u root -p -e 'GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost IDENTIFIED BY "zabbix"; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;'
