Step #01: At first download rpm package from Zabbix official page.

[root@XEN-SERVER ~]# rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm

Install Zabbix agent via command below.

Step #02: Configure iptables for allow Zabbix port. Open iptables file.

[root@XEN-SERVER ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Then insert below line into iptables file.

# Zabbix-Agent
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp –dport 10050 -j ACCEPT

Now restart your iptable service via systemctl.

[root@XEN-SERVER ~]# systemctl restart iptables

Step #03: Now configure Zabbix agent. So at first enable Zabbix agent.

[root@XEN-SERVER ~]# systemctl enable zabbix-agent

Then start Zabbix service via command.

[root@XEN-SERVER ~]# systemctl start zabbix-agent

[root@XEN-SERVER ~]# vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

Insert all below lines into zabbix_agentd.conf file.

Server=20.50.10.10
ServerActive=20.50.10.10
Hostname=XEN-SERVER

Details :

Server=Your Zabbix Server IP address

ServerActive=Your Zabbix Server IP address

Hostname=Your XEN Server Host Name

Then save and exit command below.

Esc :wq press Enter

Finally Zabbix service restart.

[root@XEN-SERVER ~]# service zabbix-agent restart

Now goto your Zabbix Server fronted then add your XEN Server host.

Troubleshooting : when you add new rule and can’t start iptables service

Error :

Job for iptables.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status iptables.service” and “journalctl –xe” for details.

when you add new rule and can’t start iptables service

Solution : First save iptables new rule

[root@XEN-SERVER~]# /sbin/service iptables save

Second : iptable service start

[root@XEN-SERVER~]# service iptables start

3rd : iptable service status

[root@XEN-SERVER~]# service iptables status

Remember it! When you add new rule then first save and then start iptables service. But many people without save and restart iptables service.
