Postgresql Database Installation
You have to choose a database before the Zabbix installation. There are two options Mysql or PostgreSQL.
In my installation, I will use the most used variant of the Zabbix database: Postgresql.
Check out the requirements on documents page.
sudo dnf install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-9-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf -qy module disable postgresql
sudo dnf install -y postgresql16-server
sudo /usr/pgsql-16/bin/postgresql-16-setup initdb
sudo systemctl enable postgresql-16
sudo systemctl start postgresql-16
Use this commands from on official Postgresql documents page.
Use this command below to check out postgresql-16 service status.
systemctl status postgresql-16
Open the Zabbix official website for the installation commands.
Use the platform chooser for the command sets.
Scroll down the page and find your commands.
Step a: Install the Zabbix repository
Edit the epel.repo under /etc/yum.repos.d path.
Use this commands below to install zabbix repositories.
rpm -Uvh https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.0/oracle/9/x86_64/zabbix-release-7.0-2.el9.noarch.rpmdnf clean all
Step b: Install Zabbix server, frontend, agent
When the installation, if you want to don’t answer the yes/no questions use the “-y” parameter after the command set.
dnf install zabbix-server-pgsql zabbix-web-pgsql zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-selinux-policy zabbix-agent -y
Step c: Create initial database
sudo -u postgres createuser --pwprompt zabbix
sudo -u postgres createdb -O zabbix zabbix
zcat /usr/share/zabbix-sql-scripts/postgresql/server.sql.gz | sudo -u zabbix psql zabbix
Step d: Configure the database for the Zabbix server
By default, the Zabbix configuration file is located in /etc/zabbix/. Open and configure the zabbix_server.conf file use with any editor to set up database password.
I used the nano editor to configure it.
nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
Find the DBPassword line on the file.
Delete the “#” line from the first line and write your new password.
Save and exit the configuration file.
Write the configuration files.
Step e: Start Zabbix server, agent, and apache processes
Use this command below to enable and start the process.
systemctl restart zabbix-server zabbix-agent httpd php-fpm
systemctl enable zabbix-server zabbix-agent httpd php-fpm
Make sure the http and https services rules on local firewall (optional)
Before the Zabbix frontend installation, check out the Oracle firewall state, ports, and services.
systemctl status firewalld
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone-public --add-service=https --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --reload
firewall-cmd --list-servicesStep f: Frontend installation
Write your “Server_IP_Address/zabbix” on any browser.
