Quickstart Zabbix

Real-time infrastructure monitoring

What is Zabbix?

Zabbix is an enterprise-level open source monitoring solution. It monitors your servers, virtual machines, applications and network devices in real time.

With the Zabbix agent installed on your machines, you automatically collect system metrics and receive alerts when problems occur.

1 How to access

After deploying your instance, you receive your credentials by email. You can also view them in your InstantApp dashboard.

From your instance details page, simply click the button to open the application directly:

Zabbix
URL (with custom subdomain) https://monentreprise-zabbix.locordi.com
URL (with auto-generated subdomain) https://zabbix-123456.locordi.com
Administrator credentials Admin / (password in dashboard)

⚠️ Warning

The Zabbix username is Admin with a capital A! This is a common mistake.

💡 Tip

Click on "Show credentials" in your instance details page to reveal the passwords.

2 Installing agents

To monitor your machines, we provide a pre-configured installation package that installs the Zabbix agent with the correct settings and a secure connection (PSK).

✅ Simplified installation

Download the installation package from your dashboard, then run it as Administrator. Everything is already configured for your instance!

From your instance details page, download the installation package for your operating system:

Zabbix Agent (Monitoring)
Windows (~17 MB) Linux (~1 KB)

Windows

  1. In your InstantApp dashboard, click on your instance
  2. Download the installation package
  3. Extract the contents of the ZIP file
  4. Right-click on the file and select "Run as administrator": install-zabbix-agent.cmd
  5. Wait during installation (about 1-2 minutes)
  6. Done! The agent is installed and configured.
# The script automatically installs:
- Zabbix Agent 2 (system monitoring)
- PSK configuration for secure connection
- Pre-configured server parameters
- Auto-registration in Zabbix

  2. Download the script install-zabbix-agent.sh
  3. Run the script with root privileges
chmod +x install-zabbix-agent.sh

⚠️ Warning

Make sure port 10050 (TCP) is open outbound on your machines to allow communication with the Zabbix server.

3 Verify everything works

  1. Log in to Zabbix with your admin credentials
  2. Go to Monitoring > Hosts
  3. Your machines should appear with a green indicator (ZBX)
  4. Click on a machine then Latest data to see metrics

✅ Monitoring active

If you see the ZBX indicator in green, your machine is properly monitored!

💡 Auto-registered host

Thanks to the pre-configured installation package, your machines automatically register in Zabbix with the correct template. No manual configuration needed!

Test alerts

  1. Go to Alerts > Actions > Trigger actions
  2. Verify that the action "Report problems to Zabbix administrators" is active
  3. Configure your email in Users > Admin > Media
  4. Simulate a problem (e.g. stop a service) to receive an alert
