zabbix6.4 Chinese documentation 1. Introduction (zabbix.com)
Zabbix is an enterprise-grade open source distributed monitoring solution.
1.zabbix structure system
Server:
The server is the central repository for all configuration, statistics, and operational data.
Proxy:
Zabbix proxy can collect performance and availability data on behalf of Zabbix server. Proxies are an optional part of a Zabbix deployment; but are useful for spreading the load on a single Zabbix server.
Agent:
The Zabbix agent is deployed on the monitored target to actively monitor local resources and applications and report the collected data to the Zabbix server. Starting from Zabbix 4.4, two types of agents are available: Zabbix agent (lightweight, supported on many platforms, written in C) and Zabbix agent 2 (very flexible, easy to extend with plugins, written in Go).
Data Storage:
All configuration information and data collected by Zabbix is stored in the database.
Web interface:
For easy access from anywhere and any platform, Zabbix provides a web-based interface. This interface is part of the Zabbix server and usually (but not necessarily) runs on the same device as the server.
2. Source code installation
1. Download Zabbix sources
wget https://cdn.zabbix.com/zabbix/sources/stable/6.4/zabbix-6.4.8.tar.gz
Unzip the source code
tar -xvzf zabbix-6.4.8.tar.gz -C /opt/zabbix/
2. Create zabbix user
groupadd –system zabbix
useradd –system -g zabbix -d /usr/lib/zabbix -s /sbin/nologin -c “Zabbix Monitoring System” zabbix
3. Create Zabbix database
A database is required for serve, proxy and front-end
Zabbix supports a variety of databases, I choose mysql (8.00.30 +) here
The only encoding supported by Zabbix is UTF-8.
(1) Create zabbix database user and user
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin; mysql> create user 'zabbix'@'localhost' identified by '123456'; mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to 'zabbix'@'localhost'; mysql> SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;
(2) Import data into the database. For Zabbix agent database, only schema.sql should be imported (not images.sql or data.sql). These SQL files are all in the source code folder database/mysql
Because my mysql is in a docker container, I have to do a few more steps.
Copy these SQL files into docker
[root@VM-12-12-centos mysql]# sudo docker cp /opt/zabbix/zabbix-6.4.8/database/mysql/data.sql 10d74d587551:/home/mysql/[root@VM-12-12-centos mysql]# sudo docker cp /opt/zabbix/zabbix-6.4.8/database/mysql/images.sql 10d74d587551:/home/mysql/
[root@VM-12-12-centos mysql]# sudo docker cp /opt/zabbix/zabbix-6.4.8/database/mysql/schema.sql 10d74d587551:/home/mysql/
Import Data
bash-4.4# mysql -uzabbix -p123456 zabbix < /home/mysql/schema.sql
bash-4.4# mysql -uzabbix -p123456 zabbix < /home/mysql/images.sql bash-4.4# mysql -uzabbix -p123456 zabbix < /home/mysql/data.sql
After successfully importing the schema, you can disable log_bin_trust_function_creators:
SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators = 0;
4. Configuration source code
To configure the source code for Zabbix server and agent, you can execute commands similar to the following:
/opt/zabbix/zabbix-6.4.8/configure –enable-server –enable-agent –with-mysql –enable-ipv6 –with-net-snmp –with-libcurl –with-libxml2 – -with-openipmi
If an error is reported, which library is missing, use yum to install it.
until displayed
****************************************************** ************ * Now run 'make install' * * * * Thank you for using Zabbix! * * <http://www.zabbix.com> * *************************************************** *********
indicates success
5.make and install source code
Compile and install
make install
6. Edit configuration file
- Edit the Zabbix agent configuration file /usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf
LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_agentd.log Server=127.0.0.1 ServerActive=127.0.0.1 Hostname=Zabbix server
- Edit the Zabbix server configuration file /usr/local/etc/zabbix_server.conf
LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_server.log DBHost=localhost DBUser=zabbix DBPassword=123456 DBSocket=/tmp/mysql8.sock DBPort=3308
7. Start the daemon process
Start the server
shell> zabbix_server
Check whether the /tmp/zabbix_server.log log is opened successfully
enabling Zabbix agent checks on host “Zabbix server”: interface became available
Indicates successful opening
Start the client on the monitored machine
shell> zabbix_agentd
Check whether the /tmp/zabbix_agentd.log log is opened successfully
8. Install zabbix web interface
The Zabbix front-end is written in PHP, so running it requires a PHP-supported web server (Apache, Nginx).
The prerequisite is to install PHP7.4 + and one of Apache and Nginx
Then copy the zabbix web page php source code in the ui/ directory under the zabbix source code to a directory and start it with php
After starting, use the browser to enter the front-end URL to install
Complete the configuration and extension of PHP and just display OK
Configuration database
Download and save to specified location
Configuration completed.
The default username is Admin and the password is zabbix.

9. Solve the problem of Chinese garbled characters
We will find that when the web-side graphics display Chinese Garbled code!
This is because the font of this web PHP project is not friendly to Chinese support, so just find the font file in the directory where the web PHP project is located and replace it with a Chinese-friendly font.
solve:
Find the font for the zabbix web project
[root@VM-12-12-centos fonts]# ls DejaVuSans.ttf [root@VM-12-12-centos fonts]# pwd /www/wwwroot/zabbix/assets/fonts
Find a thin Chinese font in the C:\Windows\Fonts\ directory of the Windows system and upload it to the server to replace DejaVuSans.ttf
[root@VM-12-12-centos fonts]# ls DejaVuSans.ttf STXIHEI.TTF [root@VM-12-12-centos fonts]# cp STXIHEI.TTF DejaVuSans.ttf cp: overwrite DejaVuSans.ttf’? y [root@VM-12-12-centos fonts]# ls DejaVuSans.ttf STXIHEI.TTF [root@VM-12-12-centos fonts]# rm -rf STXIHEI.TTF [root@VM-12-12-centos fonts]# ls DejaVuSans.ttf
Refresh the web page
Chinese can be displayed normally. . .
