-===== Agents ===== +
- +
-<note important>For normal communications (not 'active'), you must forward port 10050 on the remote NAT firewall device to the monitored host.</note> +
- +
-<note tip>If you have multiple monitored hosts behind a remote NAT firewall, you must use Active mode on the agent or (on the remote NAT firewall device) forward additional ports (10051, etc.) in to port 10050 of the additional monitored hosts and adjust the ports defined for the additional monitored hosts in the Zabbix web interface.</note> +
- +
-==== Active Agents ==== +
- +
-https://support.opennodecloud.com/wiki/doku.php?id=usrdoc:os:zabbix +
- +
-  * Active agents initiate all communications to server +
-  * No port forwarding required at client +
-  * Multiple monitored hosts behind remote NAT firewall +
-  * Lower resource utilization on server +
-  * Modify the host on server +
-    * IP address must be set to ''0.0.0.0'' +
-    * All ''Items'' must be configured as ''Zabbix Agent (active)'' +
-      * Generally by cloning templates +
-        * See link above +
-  * The configuration file is slightly different +
-    * Set ''ServerActive'' to the IP address of the Zabbix server +
- +
-==== Install Agents ==== +
- +
-:!: Install the ''zabbix-agent'' on the Zabbix server as well. +
- +
-<note important>Modify the firewall to allow incoming ''tcp/10050'' and edit the agent configuration file before starting the service.</note> +
- +
-Modify the agent configuration file: +
- +
-<file> +
-vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf +
- +
-Server=<Zabbix Server IP> +
-#ServerActive=127.0.0.1 +
-Hostname=<Monitored Host ID> +
-</file> +
- +
-Configure the agent to auto-start, start the service and check the firewall: +
- +
-<file> +
-chkconfig zabbix-agent on +
-service zabbix-agent start +
- +
-ps ax|grep zabbix +
-netstat -tapn|grep 1005 +
-iptables -nL |grep 1005 +

- +
-http://www.zabbix.com/downloads/2.4.4/zabbix_agents_2.4.4.win.zip +
- +
-Download and extract the Windows agent to ''C:\Support''. +
- +
-:!: You can use ''Wordpad'' as the editor, but turn word-wrap off.  Use ''Notepad'' thereafter. +
- +
-Edit ''C:\Support\zabbix_agents_2.4.4.win\conf\zabbix_agentd.win.conf'': +
- +

-#ServerActive=127.0.0.1 +

-===== Add a Host to Monitor ===== +
- +
-http://tecadmin.net/add-host-zabbix-server-monitor/ +
- +
-https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/config/hosts/host +
- +
-==== SNMP ==== +
- +
-http://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Start_with_SNMP_traps_in_Zabbix +
- +
-  * Listening port is usually 161/UDP +
-  * Use SNMP version ''2c'' if possible +
-    * Will show more info +
-  * ''Template SNMP Device'' will often suffice +
-  * Set the community string per host +
-    * Like a password +
-    * Defined with macro ''{$SNMP_COMMUNITY}'' +
- +
-=== Test Access === +
- +
-:!: ''2c'' is SNMP version. +
- +
-<file> +
-snmpwalk -v 2c -c <community> <remoteIP> . +
-</file> +
- +
-=== Add Host === +
- +
-:!: Set the SNMP community string (like a password) for each host by adding a **macro** ''{$SNMP_COMMUNITY}'' with the value being the community string for the host to be monitored. +
- +
-{{ ::zabbix_snmp_host.png?750 |Add SNMP Host}} +
- +
-===== Troubleshooting ===== +
- +
-This test should connect, then close when you hit <enter>: +
- +
-<file> +
-telnet <IP of agent> 10050 +
-</file>+
