====== New Relic & Zabbix Monitoring ======

We currently have Newrelic and zabbix monitoring enabled in our NA3 environment;

For NewRelic please visit the following wiki;

https://wiki.exphosted.com/doku.php/appserver_monitoring

We are using Zabbix proxy in Active mode on Haproxy (10.229.94.14) on NA3 and all other servers pointing to proxy as in the below image.

=== Configuration Files ===

Agent Configuration file = /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf

Proxy Configuration file = /etc/zabbix_proxy.conf


=== Steps To install Agent ===

1. Login to server

create zabbix.repo in /etc/yum.repo.d/ with following content (Applicable for Current environment CentOS 6.x + Zabbix Server 2.x)

<code>
[zabbix]
name=Zabbix Official Repository - $basearch
baseurl=http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.2/rhel/6/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-ZABBIX

[zabbix-non-supported]
name=Zabbix Official Repository non-supported - $basearch 
baseurl=http://repo.zabbix.com/non-supported/rhel/6/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-ZABBIX
gpgcheck=1
</code>

2. yum install zabbix22-agent.x86_64 (depends on the Zabbix Server version as well. Choose agent wisely)

3. Modify Zabbix agent configuration /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf

<code>
Hostname=<local_machine_name>
Server=<zabbix_proxy_ip>
ServerActive=<zabbix_proxy_ip>
</code>

4. Restart zabbix Agent /etc/init.d/zabbix-agentd restart
