Hi,

Good day, Im a Newbie user so forgive me for my newbie questions. I want to monitor my ClearOS NMS using Zabbix Agent but cant seems to install it. I already tried installing the epel-repo then using the "yum install zabbix-agent -y" command but error says that zabbix-agent is not found. Can someone guide me to the right process i might doing this the wrong way. Do someone among you successfully accomplished what im trying to do? I could do monitoring it in SNMP but i much prefer the zabbix-agent thing.

    First of all, please uninstall, or at least disable, the epel repo. ClearOS already comes with the clearos-epel repo which is disabled by default. However it is already configured to exclude packages which are known to break ClearOS. You can enable the repo for specific installations using the --enablerepo=clearos-epel with your yum command. Also I suggest, if you are a newbie, not to run yum with the "-y" switch. It is much safer to see what yum is going to do then hit the "y" key if you're happy.

    Then have a quick hunt for zabbix:
    yum list zabbix* --enablerepo=* --showduplicates
    This will give you an idea of which ClearOS repos contain the package, then go for the safer repos first. If you can't find it, you'll need to hunt down the rpm's from the wider internet with your favourite search engine.
