Zabbix Monitoring Agent Installation Script

This script installs and configures the Zabbix Agent for tenant-based auto-registration into a centralized Zabbix monitoring system.

---

📋 Features

• Automatic UUID generation per VM
• Dynamic Ubuntu version detection
• Zabbix Agent installation from official repository
• Basic agent configuration with Hostname (UUID) and HostMetadata (tenant name)
• Ready for manual PSK encryption setup later
• No hardcoded server addresses or tenant names — everything is passed dynamically

---

⚙️ Usage

sudo ./monitoring.sh --server <ZABBIX_SERVER_IP> --tenant <TENANT_NAME>

• --server: IP address or hostname of your Zabbix server
• --tenant: The tenant name to be used as HostMetadata

---

🛠 Example

sudo ./monitoring.sh --server 192.168.1.104 --tenant Tenant_Test

This will:

• Install the Zabbix Agent (version 6.4)
• Configure it to communicate with 192.168.1.104
• Set the HostMetadata to Tenant_Test
• Generate and save a unique UUID for the VM
• Start and enable the Zabbix Agent service

---

🧩 Requirements

• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy) or 24.04 LTS (Noble)
• Internet access to download Zabbix repositories
• Root/sudo privileges

---

🚨 Notes

• This script does not configure TLS/PSK encryption yet. The Zabbix Server must be configured manually or via API after agent registration.
• This script is optimized for auto-registration setups — make sure a corresponding auto-registration rule exists in your Zabbix server.
• /etc/zabbix/vm_uuid will store the unique identifier for the VM.
• /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log will be used for agent logs.
