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.
