Part 1 : How to Install Zabbix Server 3.2 on Ubuntu 16.04/16.10 and Debian 8/7

Zabbix is an Open Source, high-level enterprise software designed to monitor and keep track of networks, servers and applications in real time. Build in a server-client model, Zabbix can collect different type of data than are used to create historical graphics and output performance or load trends of the monitored targets.

The server has the ability to check standard networking services (HTTP, FTP, SMTP, IMAP etc) without the need to install extra software on the monitored hosts.

However, in order to gather data and create statistics about local services or other specific system resources that run on remote instances, such as CPU, disks, internal system process, RAM, etc, you need to install and configure a Zabbix agent.

Step 2: Adding Apt Repository

Before installing Zabbix first configure zabbixzone rpm repository in our system using following commands.

For Ubuntu 16.04 and ubuntu 16.10 :

#sudo apt-get update

For Debian 8:

#sudo apt-get update

Step 2: Install Zabbix Server

After adding zabbix apt repository in your system use following command to install Zabbix using mysql database.

#sudo apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php

Step 3: updating time zone

Step 4: Create Database Schema

Now create a database schema for your zabbix server. First use following commands to create mysql database and user for your zabbix server

#mysql -u root -p

mysql CREATE DATABASE zabbix;
mysql FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql quit;

Now restart zabbix database schema in newly created database

#cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql

Step 5: Edit Zabbix Configuration File

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

#sudo service apache2 restart

#sudo service zabbix-server restart

Great video! I tried Zabbix with CentOS first but found CentOS to be aggravating, this video helped make things easier.
