Installing Zabbix on Ubuntu 20.04

Zabbix is an open-source monitoring software that allows you to track the performance and availability of various network services, servers, and other network equipment. Here, we provide step-by-step instructions for installing Zabbix on Ubuntu 20.04.

  1. Update your system's package index by running the command:
    sudo apt update
  2. Now, we need to install a few packages, including Apache, MariaDB, PHP, and other necessary dependencies. Run the following command:
    sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server php php-mysql php-gd php-xml php-bcmath php-mbstring php-ldap php-xmlwriter
  3. Next, we'll secure the MariaDB installation. Run the following command and follow the prompts to set a password for the MariaDB root user:
    sudo mysql_secure_installation
  4. Create a new database for Zabbix using the following commands:
    sudo mysql -u root -p
    CREATE DATABASE zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
    CREATE USER 'zabbix'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zabbix.* TO 'zabbix'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    EXIT;
  5. Now, let's download and import the Zabbix database schema:
    wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.2/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_5.2-1+ubuntu20.04_all.deb
    sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_5.2-1+ubuntu20.04_all.deb
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-agent
    zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql*/create.sql.gz | sudo mysql -u zabbix -p zabbix
  6. Configure the Zabbix server by editing the configuration file:
    sudo nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
    Update the following parameters:
    DBPassword=your_password_here
    Save the changes and close the file.
  7. Next, we need to configure the PHP settings for Zabbix:
    sudo nano /etc/zabbix/apache.conf
    Uncomment and update the following line:
    php_value date.timezone 
    Save and close the file.
  8. Restart the Apache and Zabbix services to apply the changes:
    sudo systemctl restart apache2
    sudo systemctl restart zabbix-server
    sudo systemctl enable zabbix-server
    sudo systemctl enable zabbix-agent
  9. Finally, access the Zabbix web interface by opening your web browser and entering your server's IP or domain name followed by "/zabbix" (e.g., http://your_server_ip/zabbix). Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. The default login credentials are:
    Username: Admin
    Password: zabbix
    Be sure to change the password after login.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Zabbix on Ubuntu 20.04. You can now start monitoring your infrastructure using this powerful open-source monitoring solution.
