Could you package Zabbix Java Gateway?
@Igor Urazov :I’ll take a look if it’s easy to add it. Maybe you could submit your request to Debian too?
Should be easy to do, you can check the rules at http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.0/debian/pool/main/z/zabbix/zabbix_2.0.6-1.debian.tar.gz.
As for Debian main repository this won’t happen any time soon due to https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-4800
Can you remove the MySQL dependencies? I would like to use it with MariaDB but the package doesn’t allow me to install it without installing MySQL and removing MariaDB.
Thanks.
@Frederik Niedernolte : I can’t most users rely on stock MySQL. You should configure APT to pin some packages.
on fresh debian wheezy install i get:
aptitude install zabbix-server-mysql
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ca-certificates{a} krb5-locales{a} libcurl3-gnutls{a} libgssapi-krb5-2{a} libiksemel3{a} libk5crypto3{a} libkeyutils1{a} libkrb5-3{a} libkrb5support0{a} libldap-2.4-2{a}
librtmp0{a} libsasl2-2{a} libsasl2-modules{a} libssh2-1{a} openssl{a} zabbix-server-mysql{b}

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zabbix-server-mysql : Depends: libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.21-1) which is a virtual package.
Depends: libopenipmi0 but it is not going to be installed.
Depends: libsnmp15 (>= 5.4.3~dfsg) but it is not going to be installed.
Depends: ucf but it is not going to be installed.
Depends: fping but it is not going to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) zabbix-server-mysql [Not Installed]
I want to use libmysqlclient18 from 5.5 mysql is it possible at all?
@dotdeb user : what is your sources.list?
sorry was my mistake.
i had squeeze instead of wheezy.
any chance of removing mysql-server dependency from the zabbix?
i think its not needed at all.
zabbix supports remote mysql configuration.
for example: php5-mysql is not needing mysql-server but its definitely need mysql server somewhere to connect to.
@dotdeb user : mysql-server is just a recommandation, not a hard dependency. You can avoid the local MySQL installation by using an APT frontend such as aptitude or dselect to refine your packages selection.
I don’t think so.
Here is what aptitude gives me:
aptitude install zabbix-server-mysql

Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
@dotdeb user : Ok. What about using the interactive version of aptitude, by just launching aptitude and by making a fine packages selection?
@dotdeb user : you can also try apt-get --no-install-recommends install zabbix-server-mysql.

many thanks!
that worked.
what about zabbix-frontend-php?
is it possible to run it on nginx+php5-fpm?
i get this on apt-get install –no-install-recommends zabbix-frontend-php:

Description: network monitoring solution – PHP front-end
Zabbix is a server/client network monitoring system with many features. It can be used for:
* high level monitoring of IT services;
* centralized monitoring of your servers and applications;
* monitoring of SNMP-enabled devices;
* performance monitoring (process load, network activity, disk activity, memory usage, OS parameters etc.);
* data visualization.
This package provides a web-browsable front-end to the Zabbix server, which can display graphs of the data collected from clients.

Can you add nginx and php5-fpm here?
Thanks a lot.
btw, it seems to not possible to build from your source zabbix-php-frontend or zabbix-server-mysql.
source package requires debhelper >= 9 whilst in squeeze it’s 8.0
@dotdeb user : use squeeze-backports
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=debhelper
And FYI, if you prefer, you can find Zabbix 2.0.6 in wheezy-backports
sure, i can do that, but i want actually 2.0.7 to use.
dont you think that if you’re claiming support on squeeze, package should be compatible for building too?
i solved this by just copying needed php files to the www docroot, the only disadvantage now is updating, but i will try later your advice.
Yeah, that would be nice because I also use nginx and not Apache
Please let me know how to customize the zabbix graph by changing the x axis and y axis
Same here. We run by default nginx, php-fpm and mariadb on all our machines and it would be awesome if this package supported this type of setup.
