Install Zabbix Server 5 on Amazon Linux 2

Install Zabbix 5 on Amazon Linux 2

We will install Zabbix 5 on Amazon Linux 2 using MySQL database as storage backend. We will also be configuring Apache httpd web server as reverse proxy to Zabbix server.

Before starting the installation of Zabbix 5 on Amazon Linux 2 ensure the system is updated,

yum -y update

Once updated perform a system reboot.

sudo systemctl reboot

 

Step 1: Add EPEL repository

yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

Step 2: Install and Configure MariaDB Database

tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo<<EOF
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.5/centos7-amd64
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1
EOF

Before you begin installaton update OS package cache index:

yum makecache

Install MariaDB Database server on Amazon Linux 2:

yum -y install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client

Enable and start mariadb with the below commands

systemctl enable mariadb
systemctl start mariadb

Secure MariaDB database server by setting a root user account password, removing anonymous users, disallowing root remote logins and removing test databases:

$mysql_secure_installation
Enter current password for root (enter for none): Just press Enter
Set root password? [Y/n] Y 
New password:  New-root-password
Re-enter new password: Re-enter New-root-password
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y 
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y 
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y 
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y 
Thanks for using MariaDB!

Connect to MariaDB and set up a database and a user

$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

sudo yum-config-manager --enable zabbix-frontend
sudo yum -y install zabbix-web-mysql-scl zabbix-apache-conf-scl

zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql*/create.sql.gz | mysql -uzabbix -p'DBStr0ngP@ssword' zabbix

sudo systemctl start zabbix-server zabbix-agent
sudo systemctl enable zabbix-server zabbix-agent

Step 5: Configure Zabbix Server on Amazon Linux 2

vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

DBHost=localhost 
DBName=zabbix 
DBUser=zabbix 
DBPassword=password

Set correct PHP timezone:

$vim /etc/opt/rh/rh-php72/php-fpm.d/zabbix.conf
php_value[date.timezone] = Africa/Nairobi

sudo systemctl restart zabbix-server zabbix-agent httpd rh-php72-php-fpm
sudo systemctl enable zabbix-server zabbix-agent httpd rh-php72-php-fpm

Step 6: Initiate Zabbix 5 Web configuration

Open your web browser and access “http://(Zabbix server’s hostname or IP address)/zabbix/”  to initiate Zabbix server initial setup.
