Download the zabbix agent zip file on the VMS box.

Create a directory for Zabbbix agent, for example

$ create/dir dsa0:[zabbbixagt]

Extract the files from the downloaded .zip into the newly created directory

$ set default dsa0:[zabbbixagt]
$ unzip dev:[dir]vms_agent_zabbix.zip

should give

Archive:  dev:[dir]vms_agent_zabbix.zip;1

$ 

Copy the zabbix_logicals.template as a.com file

$ copy zabbix_logicals.template .com  

Edit it and update it if needed. At least update line

$ define/system/nolog zabbix_server localhost !! "my.zabbix.server" !! or "123.123.123.123"

Launch it, so that the logicals names for zabbix are defined

$ @zabbix_logicals

The logical name table ZABBIX_TABLE_MON is created,

Then launch the zabbix_discover.com

$ @zabbix_discover

This will create JSON files in zabbix_def_dir: with definition for your specific environment (disks, network interfaces,batch and print queues…)

Example

$ @zabbix_discover
ZABBIX_DEF_DIR:ZABBIX_SHAD_DISKS_DISCOVERY.JSON created with 2 devices
ZABBIX_DEF_DIR:ZABBIX_NOSHAD_DISKS_DISCOVERY.JSON created with 2 devices
ZABBIX_DEF_DIR:ZABBIX_IF_DISCOVERY.JSON created with 2 devices
ZABBIX_DEF_DIR:ZABBIX_PQUEUES_DISCOVERY.JSON created with 3 Printer Queues
ZABBIX_DEF_DIR:ZABBIX_BQUEUES_DISCOVERY.JSON created with 3 Batch Queues
ZABBIX_DEF_DIR:ZABBIX_SQUEUES_DISCOVERY.JSON created with 3 Server Queues

Then launch ZABBIX_STARTUP

$ @ZABBIX_STARTUP

This will create a process ZABBIX_AGENT, which communicates with the zabbix server using the ports 10050 and 10051.

To stop Zabbix Agent, just

$ stop ZABBIX_AGENT

or

$ stop/id=pid_of_zabbix_agent_process

You should download the templates and load them on your Zabbix server, in order to save time to configure the various monitored items.
