Zabbix Installation Instructions
How to Integrate Zabbix with BigPanda
Create an App Key
First create an App Key. You'll need a separate App Key for each integrated system
Select an Install Method
RedHat
Install the BigPanda Agent on RedHat
Connect to a host that can access the API endpoints of Zabbix, and install the BigPanda agent package.
$ sudo wget http://repos.bigpanda.io/config/bigpanda.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/bigpanda.repo
$ sudo yum install bigpanda-agent
Note: If you run RHEL 5, you will need to install the EPEL repository. Please consult the FAQ for instructions.
