How To Install Zabbix Server 6.4 On AlmaLinux 8 Server

Sharing is caring!

Zabbix is a strong monitoring tool for network monitor written by php mysql. AlmaLinux 8 is newly release, so I want to show how to install zabbix server 6.4 on AlmaLinux 8 server.

####################################
Operating System: AlmaLinux 8
IP Address  : 10.66.10.14
RAM   : 2GB
Disk   : 50GB
Service  : ZABBIX 6.4 PRE-RELEASE
Host Name : zabbix.technologyrss.local
####################################

Step #01: Ensure Update and upgrade using below command.

root@zabbix:~# cat /etc/redhat-release && ip r
root@zabbix:~# dnf -y upgrade

Step #02: Install php on AlmaLinux 8

root@zabbix:~# dnf clean all
root@zabbix:~# dnf module switch-to php:7.4

Step #03: Download and install zabbix main package.

root@zabbix:~# rpm -Uvh https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.4/rhel/8/x86_64/zabbix-release-6.4-1.el8.noarch.rpm
root@zabbix:~# dnf clean all
root@zabbix:~# dnf module switch-to php:7.4
root@zabbix:~# dnf install -y zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql zabbix-nginx-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-selinux-policy zabbix-agent

Step #04: Install mysql database and configure root user password.

root@zabbix:~# dnf install -y mysql-server mysql
root@zabbix:~# systemctl start mysqld
root@zabbix:~# systemctl enable mysqld
root@zabbix:~# systemctl status mysqld

When installing running then type mysql root password and remember it for use next time.

Setup mysql root password using command line.

root@zabbix:~# mysql -u root -p

mysql> ALTER USER ‘root’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘P@ssw0rd@123’;

mysql> flush privileges;

Step #05: Login mysql terminal for create database and user password.

root@zabbix:~# mysql -u root -p

Then type mysql root password. Then run below command from mysql terminal

create database zabbix_db character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin;
create user zabbix_user@localhost identified by 'zabbix@123';
GRANT CREATE, ALTER, DROP, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, REFERENCES, RELOAD on *.* TO 'zabbix_user'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
grant all privileges on zabbix_db.* to zabbix_user@localhost;
SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
\q

Step #06: Export zabbix default database into my created database.

root@zabbix:~# zcat /usr/share/zabbix-sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz | mysql --default-character-set=utf8mb4 -uzabbix_user -p zabbix_db

Then type my created zabbix_user password, then wait ….

Again going to mysql terminal for change global settings. Disable log_bin_trust_function_creators option after importing database schema.

root@zabbix:~# mysql -uroot -p

Run below command from mysql terminal.

set global log_bin_trust_function_creators = 0;
flush privileges;
\q

Step #07: Configure zabbix server conf file.

DBName=zabbix_db
DBUser=zabbix_user
DBPassword=zabbix@123

Then save and exit.

Setup nginx web server.

root@zabbix:~# nano /etc/zabbix/nginx.conf

Remove # from below two lines and type your server ip address or domain name.

listen 80;
server_name 10.66.10.14;

Note: If your server have multiple web server running so must be stop it first.

root@zabbix:~# service apache2 stop

Now restart service using below command.

root@zabbix:~# systemctl restart zabbix-server zabbix-agent nginx php-fpm
root@zabbix:~# systemctl enable zabbix-server zabbix-agent nginx php-fpm

Step #08: Firewall settings.

root@zabbix:~# systemctl start firewalld
root@zabbix:~# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
root@zabbix:~# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp --permanent
root@zabbix:~# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=10050/tcp --permanent
root@zabbix:~# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=10051/tcp --permanent
root@zabbix:~# firewall-cmd --reload

Set selinux disable.

root@zabbix:~# vi /etc/selinux/config

Then set disabled, then reboot server.

root@zabbix:~# reboot

Done! All terminal installation. Now going to web browser and process installation.
