Zabbix on amazon ec2. Installation

amazon ec2zabbix

I've read about mikoomi. And I it is not suitable for me. I do not have access to secret key.

I want to install and use zabbix server and agent itself on instances. Is it good idea?

And here is the problem:

during:

yum install zabbix-server-pgsql zabbix-web-pgsql zabbix-agent

I got:

Error: httpd24-tools conflicts with httpd-tools
Error: httpd24 conflicts with httpd

How to complete installation successfully?

You installed Apache 2.4 from a third party repository. These packages conflict with the default Apache packages provided with CentOS (which indicates poor design on the part of the third party repository maintainer, but that's an issue for another day).

To resolve the issue, remove the offending packages.

yum remove httpd24 httpd24-tools

On that note, you really should not try to use the same server for multiple purposes. If you want to run a Zabbix server, run only the Zabbix server (and any services it needs to operate, such as Apache). Don't try to make it your Zabbix server, email server, general web site, VPN endpoint, and the kitchen sink.

Ubuntu – Configure Zabbix to send email notifications through Exim

I figured it out! My setup was correct afterall. Here's what was happening:

Triggers are only set when a state changes, therefore all my triggers were either false OR true and were not changing state as the items I was monitoring were not changing state either.

To successfully test my triggers, I had to do this:

Make an item to ping a server every 5 sec (you can just use a default template item but I wanted results fast...)
Make an action for my server which gets executed if:

Trigger severity >= "Warning" AND Host = "My Server"
I then created a trigger which gets set if ping = 1 (which it always does...) and volia! I received an email

The problem I was having was that by creating my "test trigger" before my "test alert" the trigger was already getting set before my alert was saved. And so... i had no idea why I wasn't seeing any notifications.
