These commands will automatically configure and install Zabbix.
- Set up the Zabbix server. After installation, configure Zabbix to fit your environment. The configuration files are located in the /etc/zabbix/ directory within the installation folder. You can edit the zabbix_server.conf and zabbix_agentd.conf files as needed.
- Start the Zabbix server and agent. Use the following commands to start the Zabbix server and agent separately:
