Setting up a Zabbix proxy

Setting up a Zabbix proxy can be quite daunting if you don’t have a lot of experience with Linux, but the task is quite simple once you get the hang of it. We will install a Zabbix proxy on our lar-book-proxy-passive server; you can repeat the task on lar-book-proxy-active.

Getting ready

Make sure to have a new empty Linux host, with your distribution of choice ready and installed. We won’t need our Zabbix server in this recipe yet.

How to do it…

Let’s start by logging in to the command-line interface (CLI) of our new lar-book-proxy-passive host.

Now, execute the following command to add the Zabbix repository. For RHEL-based systems, use the following:

rpm -Uvh https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.0/rhel/8/ x86_64/zabbix-release-7.0-1.el8.noarch.rpm
dnf clean all

For Ubuntu systems, use the following:

wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.0/ubuntu/pool/ main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_7.0-1+ubuntu22.04_all.deb...
