Technical requirements
For this chapter, we will need a Zabbix server—for instance, the one used in the previous chapter, which would be the following:
- A server with Zabbix server installed on a Linux distribution of your choice, such as CentOS or Ubuntu, but a distribution such as Debian or any other will suit you just as well
- MariaDB set up to work with your Zabbix server
- Nginx or Apache set up to serve the Zabbix frontend
We will also need a Linux host to monitor, so that we can actually build some cool triggers to use.
