README for zabbix agent daemon
REQUIREMENTS
PRE-INSTALL
This port include zabbix_agentd. For other apps see my zabbix_utils port.
POST-INSTALL
1. Change Hostname, ListenIP and Server in /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf to
something useful.
2. On the client (monitored) machines, you may add the following lines to
/etc/services:
zabbix_agent 10050/tcp
zabbix_trap 10051/tcp
3. Run post-install to create dedicated user for the agent instead of 'daemon'.
PRECAUTION
Before port version 1.4.4-2 'zbxagent' group was used as a pimary group of
'zbxagent' user. Later it was changed (in post-install) to 'zabbix' to fix log
files rotation issue in the directory shared with the zabbix server. Now it
should be safe to remove unused zbxagent group by hand.
