     Install Zabbix Server


    After adding Zabbix apt repository in your system use following command to install Zabbix server. Here zabbix-server-mysql package includes Zabbix server with MySQL support. 



     apt-get update

     apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-agent


    Set Mariadb root Password:



    Please refer mysql_secure_installation.

    Edit create and import initial zabbix database and user

    First we need to create zabbix database (zabbixdb) and create a zabbix user (zabbixuser).


    [root@zabbixserver ~]# mysql -u root -p
    Enter password:Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.Your MariaDB connection id is 10Server version: 5.5.60-MariaDB MariaDB ServerCopyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.
    Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
    MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE zabbixdb CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
    Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
    MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zabbixdb.* TO zabbixuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY "Your Password";
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
    MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
    MariaDB [(none)]> exit
    Bye
    [root@zabbixserver ~]#







    After creating the Zabbix database and user we need to import the zabbix initial database using the below commands:
    [root@zabbixserver ~]# zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql*/create.sql.gz | mysql -u zabbixuser -p zabbixdb
    Enter password:




    Now we need to edit database configuration in the Zabbix server configuration file zabbix_server.conf


    [root@zabbix ~]# vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
    Specify the database name for zabbix , database user name and the password
    DBHost=localhost
    DBName=zabbixdb
    DBUser=zabbixuser
    DB Password=YOUR_PASSWORD
