sudo dpkg -i zabbix-agent_debian.deb

Install Zabbix Agent in Ubuntu

wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.0/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/
sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_ubuntu.deb

Step 2: Install and Configure Zabbix Agent

Once repository is added install the packages

sudo apt update
sudo apt install zabbix-agent

Zabbix agent configuration is /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf. Edit

sudo nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

# Specify Zabbix server IP Address
Server=192.168.0.1

# Specify Zabbix server ( For active checks)
ServerActive=192.168.0.1

# Set this server hostname reported by Zabbix agent
Hostname=Server-XXX

Restart zabbix-agent after making the change:

sudo systemctl restart zabbix-agent
sudo systemctl status zabbix-agent
sudo systemctl enable zabbix-agent
