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.

1. Install the repository configuration package:

   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

2. Install agent:

   sudo apt-get -y install zabbix-agent
    
   sudo systemctl enable zabbix-agent

3. Configure the IP of the Zabbix Server:

   sudo sed -i 's/ServerActive=127.0.0.1/ServerActive=###.###.###.###/g' /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

4. Start the Zabbix Agent:

   sudo systemctl start zabbix-agent
