Ubuntu Install Zabbix Client

  1. Update your apt-get sources to include recent zabbix
    sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
    
    # Zabbix Application PPA
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tbfr/zabbix/ubuntu precise main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tbfr/zabbix/ubuntu precise main
    
  2. Add the PPA’s key so that apt-get trusts the source:
    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C407E17D5F76A32B
    
  3. Update your repo & install the agent.
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install zabbix-agent
    
  4. Configure to point to your Zabbix server & know the hostname of client.
    vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
    ...
    Server=10.0.0.9
    ...
    Hostname=docker.foo.lan
    ...
    
  5. Now bounce the agent.
