To install the Zabbix_get command offline, you can follow these steps:

  1. Download the Zabbix software package and its dependencies on a network-connected machine.
  2. Open the official Zabbix website (https://www.zabbix.com/).
  3. Navigate to the “Downloads” section.
  4. Download the Zabbix software package that corresponds to the Linux distribution and version you are using (usually in tar.gz or rpm format).
  5. Ensure that the downloaded software package matches your Linux distribution and version.
  6. Transfer the downloaded software package to the target Linux machine.
  7. You can transfer the software package from the connected machine to the target machine using tools like SCP command or FTP.
  8. Install the Zabbix software package on the target Linux machine:
  9. Unpacking software package: If the downloaded package is in tar.gz format, you can use the following command to unpack: tar -zxvf zabbix_package.tar.gz
  10. Install the Zabbix software package and its dependencies: Depending on the Linux distribution and version you are using, you can use package management tools such as yum, apt-get, etc. to install Zabbix and its dependencies. For example, on a Debian-based distribution, you can use the following command to install: sudo apt-get install zabbix zabbix-get
  11. Set up the Zabbix_get command on the target Linux machine.
  12. Open the Zabbix configuration file (usually located at /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf).
  13. Find and edit the following configuration items:
    Server=ZABBIX_SERVER_IP
    ServerActive=ZABBIX_SERVER_IP

    Replace ZABBIX_SERVER_IP with the IP address of your Zabbix server.

  14. Save and close the configuration file.
  15. Start the Zabbix Agent service.
  16. Start the Zabbix Agent service on the target Linux machine by running the following command: sudo systemctl start zabbix-agent.

Now that you have offline installed the Zabbix_get command, you can now use it on the target Linux machine. Make sure that your Linux distribution and version match the downloaded package, and make any necessary adjustments as needed.
