Zabbix is widely regarded as a powerful and reliable monitoring tool. The 7.0 LTS (Long Term Support) release introduces a range of new features and substantial enhancements. This comprehensive guide will walk you through installing Zabbix 7.0 LTS on an Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64 system using Nginx and MySQL.

Prerequisites:

Before starting, make sure you have:

• An Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64 server.
• Root access or a user with sudo privileges.
• An internet connection to download the necessary packages.

Step 1: Update the System

First, update your system to ensure all packages are up to date:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install the Database Server

Zabbix requires a database to store data. In this example, we will use MySQL/MariaDB.

Install MariaDB:

sudo apt install mariadb-server -y

Start and enable the MariaDB service:

sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Secure the MariaDB installation:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Step 3: Create the Zabbix Database

Connect to MySQL/MariaDB and create the database and user for Zabbix:

sudo mysql -u root -p

# Inside the MySQL console:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE zabbix CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_bin;
mysql> CREATE USER 'zabbix'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'admin@123';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zabbix.* TO 'zabbix'@'localhost';
mysql> SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;

Step 4: Install the Zabbix Repository

Add the Zabbix repository:

wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.0/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_7.0-1%2Bubuntu24.04_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_7.0-1+ubuntu24.04_all.deb
sudo apt update

Step 5: Install Zabbix Server, Frontend, and Agent

Install the necessary packages:

sudo apt install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-nginx-conf zabbix-agent

Step 6: Configure the Zabbix Database

Import the initial database schema:

zcat /usr/share/zabbix-sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz | mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix --database=Zabbix

Disable log_bin_trust_function_creators option after importing database schema.

# mysql -uroot -p
password
mysql> set global log_bin_trust_function_creators = 0;
mysql> quit;

Edit the Zabbix Server configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

Adjust the following lines with your database information:

DBHost=localhost
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=admin@123

Step 7: Configure the Zabbix Frontend

Edit the Nginx configuration file for Zabbix:

sudo nano /etc/zabbix/nginx.conf

Uncomment and adjust the following lines as necessary:

server {
    listen          80;
    server_name     192.168.224.134;
    root            /usr/share/zabbix;

    index           index.php;
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny  all;
    }
}

Ensure PHP is configured correctly:

sudo nano /etc/php/8.3/fpm/php.ini

Adjust the following settings:

post_max_size = 16M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 300
date.timezone = "Asia/Kolkata"

Restart the PHP-FPM and Nginx services:

sudo systemctl restart php8.3-fpm
sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 8: Start and Enable Zabbix Services

Start and enable the Zabbix services:

sudo systemctl start zabbix-server zabbix-agent
sudo systemctl enable zabbix-server zabbix-agent

Step 9: Complete the Installation via Web Interface

Open your browser and access your server’s address to complete the setup:

http://192.168.224.134/

Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize the installation.

In Zabbix welcome screen. Enter the 

username: Admin

with 

password: zabbix 

to log in as a Zabbix superuser. Access to all menu sections will be granted.
