Zabbix可以时时刻刻监视我们服务器的运行状态，包括CPU，MEMORY，HDD等。通过创建事件驱动，当硬件达到某设定临界值（比如CPU使用高达90%）时还可以发邮件通知管理者。

Zabbix还可以监视日志，这个非常有用，当我们系统出现异常时，我们可以及时了解系统出现哪些问题，在客户抱怨之前修复改善系统，不至于等到系统快瘫痪了才发现问题。

另外，Zabbix2.4支持中文界面了。

顺利安装后界面

常见问题
1，通过源代码安装，可能会出现zabbix_server,zabbix_agentd不能正常启动，不能正常停止的问题。解决方法为自己编写启动停止脚本，参看下面的脚本。
2，图形界面乱码问题，解决方法参考下面［修复图形界面的乱码］。

Zabbix server启动停止脚本

#!/bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: - 55 45
# description: zabbix_server
# probe: false
 
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
 
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
 
# Check that networking is up. If you are running without a network, comment this out.
[ "${NETWORKING}" = "no" ] && exit 0
 
RETVAL=0
progdir="/usr/local/sbin/"
prog="zabbix_server"
 
start() {
        # Start daemons.
  if [ -n "`/sbin/pidof $prog`" ]; then
        echo -n "$prog: already running"
        failure $"$prog start"
        echo
        return 1
  fi
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "

Zabbix agentd启动停止脚本

#!/bin/bash

  [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$prog && success $"$prog startup"
  echo

exit $?

修复图形界面的乱码
使用默认的字体的话，内存使用，CPU使用图形界面的中文将会出现乱码。
解决方法就是替换默认字体。
在百度上搜索下载FZLTCHJW.TTF，将其上传到前台PHP的fonts目录
编辑前台PHP的defines.inc.php文件

//define('ZBX_GRAPH_FONT_NAME',         'DejaVuSans'); // font file name
define('ZBX_GRAPH_FONT_NAME',           'FZLTCHJW'); // font file name
