Configuration

Configure Zabbix Server IP in zabbix agentd.conf file, in this example (192.168.0.18):

sed -i s/ServerActive=127.0.0.1/ServerActive=192.168.0.18/ /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
sed -i s/Server=127.0.0.1/Server=192.168.0.18/ /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
Change Hostname value to your client hostname on zabbix_agentd.conf
systemctl restart zabbix-agent && systemctl status zabbix-agent 

Make also sure your firewall is properly configured.
