Step-by-step – Zabbix Linux Mint 19 Installation

Setting Up DB

4. 4. Making DB

   Again Creating Zabbix MySQL Database.

   mysql -uroot -p[root_password]

   Login with your [root_password].
   Then Make the Database:

   create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;

   And Grant the Privileges to the ‘zabbix’ User:

   grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by '[zabix_password]';

   Set a Custom [zabix_password] for the zabbix User.
   Finally, to Quit:

   quit;

   Instead, for the PostgreSQL Database follow this other Guide

5. 5. Editing Configuration

   And also Edit Zabbix Server Configuration File.

   sudo nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

   Set the password the same one you choose before:

   DBHost=localhost
   DBName=zabbix
   DBUser=zabbix
   DBPassword=[zabix_password]
   

   Simply Set the [zabix_password] in the Above!
   Ctrl+x to Save & Exit from nano ;)

6. 6. Importing Data

   Now to Import Zabbix Data into Database
   For MySQL do:

   zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql/create.sql.gz | mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix

   When instead on PostgreSQL use:

   zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-pgsql/create.sql.gz | sudo -u zabbix psql zabbix
