Summary of problems in installation and configuration zabbix

1. When using apt-get install to install zabbix-server, prompt for database password:

Database password input error, resulting in problems:

Treatment:

Remove: apt-get remove

Installation: apt-get install

2. Check the log file and find an error:

7224:20130604:134059.455 Send list ofactive checks to [X.X.X.X] failed: host [localhost] not found

The reasons for the error are:

No correspondence between IP and hostname found

Treatment:

Add the corresponding entry to/etc/hosts

Jun 4 16:00:01 jiuhe4 sm-msp-queue[1749]: My unqualified host name (jiuhe4)unknown; sleeping for retry

Treatment:

Modify the line corresponding to the local IP address in/etc/hosts to read:

X.X.X.X jiuhe4 jiuhe.com

3. Do not send alarm mail:

The mail script written by myself using msmtp command is too bad, which leads to the alarm not being sent in time.

So I searched online and found the following:

zabbix_email.sh Script content: #!/ bin/shDEBUG=1if [ $DEBUG -gt 0 ];then exec 2>>/var/log/msmtp.log set -xfiFROM='jiuhedz@gmail.com'# Parameters (as passed by Zabbix):# $1 : Recipient# $2 : Subject# $3 : Messagerecipient=$1subject=$2message=$3date=`date --rfc-2822`sed 's/$/\r/'
