Install Zabbix Server with MySQL

Configure Yum Repository

Zabbix repositories package on Zabbix official website. http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/. You can follow below commands to add Zabbix repository in the system. Install latest rpm package every time.

# rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/rhel/7/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2.1-1.el7.noarch.rpm
# rpm -qa | grep zabbix

Install Zabbix Server with MySQL

You have added Zabbix yum repository in above step. Now use following command to install Zabbix server with MySQL database support packages on server.
# yum install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql zabbix-agent zabbix-java-gateway

Setup Zabbix Apache Configuration

Zabbix creates its own apache configuration file /etc/httpd/conf.d/zabbix.conf. Edit this file and just update timezone.
php_value date.timezone America/Toronto
 
Restart the Apache service.
 
# service httpd restart
 

Create Zabbix MySQL Database

This installation is using MySQL as backend of Zabbix, So we need to create MySQL database and User for Zabbix installation.
# mysql -u root -p
 
mysql> CREATE DATABASE zabbixdb CHARACTER SET UTF8;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on zabbixdb.* to zabbix@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit
 
After creating database restore the default MySQL database provided by Zabbix. These files can be found at /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-<version>/create/ directory.
# cd /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-3.0.0/create
 
# mysql -u zabbix -p zabbixdb < schema.sql
# mysql -u zabbix -p zabbixdb < images.sql
# mysql -u zabbix -p zabbixdb < data.sql

Start Zabbix Server

After completing above setup, let’s start Zabbix server using following command.
# service zabbix-server start
 

After starting Zabbix service, let’s go to Zabbix web installer and finish the installation.

How to measure disk performance with fio and IOPing

Image
Introduction Whether it’s a server, or a PC for work, what usually limits performances is disk speed. Even if using SSDs, their speed is not yet comparable to that of RAM and CPU. There are different tools with or without a graphical interface, written for testing disks speed. There are also people who use  dd , for example: dd if=/dev/zero of=test_file bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync However, in our opinion dd is the worst software for benchmarking I/O performance. In fact: it is a single-threaded, sequential-write test. Of course, if running a web server, services do not do long-running sequential writes, and use more than one thread it writes a small amount of data, so the result can be influenced by caching or by RAID’s controller it executes for just a few seconds, and everyone knows that in this way it’s not possible to have consistent results there are no reading speed tests All these points just lead to one conclusion: better to use anything else.
