We will be monitoring your machine by using a piece of software called the Zabbix agent. The agent is available for many different platforms, listed below.
If you are using any of these Operating Systems, you can usually find a package in a repository that provides the zabbix agent. The advantage of using your packaging mechanism is that updating, removing and installing becomes much simpler. Please check with your distribution to find the best repositories to use.
| Distribution | Repository | Comment |
