sudo orbit zabbix
--server=172.10.10.12:10050
--listen=10.66.33.27
--lport=10050 
--tls

Where:

  • --server: defines the IP addresses of the Zabbix server(s), followed by the ports, separated by commas, for example: 1.1.1.1:10051,2.2.2.2:10051.
Info

The default port is 10051.

  • --listen: specifies the IP of the senhasegura server where the Zabbix Agent waits for monitoring requests.
  • --lport: defines the default port (10050) on which the Zabbix Agent will be ready to receive connections from the Zabbix server.
  • --tls: optional parameter to encrypt communication between the Zabbix agent and server. Generates an "identity" and a "pre-shared key" (PSK) for authentication and security.
  1. Type Y to confirm when prompted.

After running the command, you’ll receive the following response:

Done!
Zabbix TLS parameters
Identity = BABQUAGCOXknWsRJhvmu
Pre-shared key = 896ee734944dc71ff6f0a6111fb4ec25a8954e3ee0eda07f7ac582952b742eae
