 The zabbix_server must be configured and maintained separately from AstLinux.  A good starting point is the **Zabbix Appliance** which can be found on the [[https://www.zabbix.com/download_appliance|Zabbix Downloads]] page.  Installing the Zabbix Appliance in a Virtual Machine is a great way to learn Zabbix and possibly manage a small number of AstLinux boxes.  Unfortunately, upgrading a Zabbix Appliance to a newer version is not as simple as it should be.  Installing Zabbix from it's parts on a CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu distribution may be a better choice for some.
