Official Áú»¢¶Ä²© 6.2 packages for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server are available on Áú»¢¶Ä²© website.
Áú»¢¶Ä²© agent packages and utilities Áú»¢¶Ä²© get and Áú»¢¶Ä²© sender are available on Áú»¢¶Ä²© Official Repository for and .
Verify CA encryption mode doesn't work on SLES 12 (all minor OS versions) with MySQL due to older MySQL libraries.
Install the repository configuration package. This package contains yum (software package manager) configuration files.
SLES 15:
# rpm -Uvh --nosignature https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.2/sles/15/x86_64/zabbix-release-6.2-1.sles15.noarch.rpm
# zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh 'Áú»¢¶Ä²© Official Repository'
SLES 12:
# rpm -Uvh --nosignature https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.2/sles/12/x86_64/zabbix-release-6.2-1.sles12.noarch.rpm
# zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh 'Áú»¢¶Ä²© Official Repository'
Please note, that Áú»¢¶Ä²© web service process, which is used for scheduled report generation, requires Google Chrome browser. The browser is not included into packages and has to be installed manually.
To install Áú»¢¶Ä²© server/frontend/agent with MySQL support:
Substitute 'apache' in the command with 'nginx' if using the package for Nginx web server. See also: Nginx setup for Áú»¢¶Ä²© on SLES 12/15.
Substitute 'zabbix-agent' with 'zabbix-agent2' in these commands if using Áú»¢¶Ä²© agent 2 (only SLES 15 SP1+).
To install Áú»¢¶Ä²© proxy with MySQL support:
Substitute 'mysql' in the commands with 'pgsql' to use PostgreSQL.
The package 'zabbix-sql-scripts' contains database schemas for all supported database management systems for both Áú»¢¶Ä²© server and Áú»¢¶Ä²© proxy and will be used for data import.
For Áú»¢¶Ä²© server and proxy daemons a database is required. It is not needed to run Áú»¢¶Ä²© agent.
Separate databases are needed for Áú»¢¶Ä²© server and Áú»¢¶Ä²© proxy; they cannot use the same database. Therefore, if they are installed on the same host, their databases must be created with different names!
Create the database using the provided instructions for MySQL or PostgreSQL.
Now import initial schema and data for the server with MySQL:
You will be prompted to enter your newly created database password.
With PostgreSQL:
With TimescaleDB, in addition to the previous command, also run:
# zcat /usr/share/packages/zabbix-sql-scripts/postgresql/timescaledb.sql.gz | sudo -u <username> psql zabbix
TimescaleDB is supported with Áú»¢¶Ä²© server only.
For proxy, import initial schema:
For proxy with PostgreSQL:
Edit /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf (and zabbix_proxy.conf) to use their respective databases. For example:
# vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
DBHost=localhost
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=<password>
In DBPassword use Áú»¢¶Ä²© database password for MySQL; PostgreSQL user password for PostgreSQL.
Use DBHost=
with PostgreSQL. You might want to keep the default setting DBHost=localhost
(or an IP address), but this would make PostgreSQL use a network socket for connecting to Áú»¢¶Ä²©.
Depending on the web server used (Apache/Nginx) edit the corresponding configuration file for Áú»¢¶Ä²© frontend:
/etc/apache2/conf.d/zabbix.conf
. Some PHP settings are already configured. But it's necessary to uncomment the "date.timezone" setting and for you.php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 16M
php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value max_input_vars 10000
php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1
# php_value date.timezone Europe/Riga
/etc/nginx/conf.d/zabbix.conf
. For Áú»¢¶Ä²© frontend to work, it's necessary to uncomment and set listen
and/or server_name
directives.Its configuration file is located in /etc/php7/fpm/php-fpm.d/zabbix.conf
. Some PHP settings are already configured. But it's necessary to set the right setting for you.
php_value[max_execution_time] = 300
php_value[memory_limit] = 128M
php_value[post_max_size] = 16M
php_value[upload_max_filesize] = 2M
php_value[max_input_time] = 300
php_value[max_input_vars] = 10000
; php_value[date.timezone] = Europe/Riga
Now you are ready to proceed with frontend installation steps which will allow you to access your newly installed Áú»¢¶Ä²©.
Note that a Áú»¢¶Ä²© proxy does not have a frontend; it communicates with Áú»¢¶Ä²© server only.
Start Áú»¢¶Ä²© server and agent processes and make it start at system boot.
With Apache web server:
# systemctl restart zabbix-server zabbix-agent apache2 php-fpm
# systemctl enable zabbix-server zabbix-agent apache2 php-fpm
Substitute 'apache2' with 'nginx' for Nginx web server.
To enable debuginfo repository edit /etc/zypp/repos.d/zabbix.repo file. Change enabled=0
to enabled=1
for zabbix-debuginfo repository.
