Usage

zabbix_agent 'default' do
  config(
    'Server' => 'zabbix.example.com',
    'ServerActive' => 'zabbix.example.com'
  )
  action %i(create start)
end

Source Install

zabbix_agent 'source' do
  install_method 'source'
  version '7.0.26'
  configure_options ['--with-libcurl', '--with-libpcre2']
  action :create
end

Source installs build and configure the agent only. They do not create or override a system service
unit.

Prebuilt Static Install

zabbix_agent 'prebuild' do
  install_method 'prebuild'
  version '7.0.26'
  prebuild_arch 'amd64'
  action :create
end

Prebuilt installs extract and configure the agent only. They do not create or override a system
service unit.
