====== Install Zabbix Agent ======

In order for Zabbix to receive information from hosts, an agent needs to be installed. Follow the following steps to install agents on Linux servers.

  - Install the repository configuration package:<code bash>
cd /tmp
wget http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_3.2-1+xenial_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_3.2-1+xenial_all.deb

sudo apt-get update
</code>
  - Install agent:<code bash>
sudo apt-get -y install zabbix-agent

sudo systemctl enable zabbix-agent
</code>
  - Configure the IP of the Zabbix Server:<code bash>
sudo sed -i 's/ServerActive=127.0.0.1/ServerActive=###.###.###.###/g' /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
</code>
  - Start the Zabbix Agent:<code bash>
sudo systemctl start zabbix-agent
