Update Zabbix from Source

1. Set new version

   NEW_VERSION="7.2.3"
   MAJOR_VERSION=${NEW_VERSION%.*}

2. Download source from https://www.zabbix.com/download_sources to folder /home/zabbix${NEW_VERSION}

   wget https://cdn.zabbix.com/zabbix/sources/stable/${MAJOR_VERSION}/zabbix-${NEW_VERSION}.tar.gz -P /home/zabbix${NEW_VERSION}

3. Extract source

   cd /home/zabbix${NEW_VERSION}
   tar -zxvf zabbix-${NEW_VERSION}.tar.gz

4. Execute configure with necessary options

   cd /home/zabbix${NEW_VERSION}/zabbix-${NEW_VERSION}
   ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --enable-ipv6 --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-libxml2 --with-openipmi

5. If necessary, install the necessary components

   apt-get install libopenipmi-dev / sudo yum install OpenIPMI-devel

6. After successful configuration, compile and install

   make install

   The make install command will install the daemon executables (zabbix_server, zabbix_agentd, zabbix_proxy) in /usr/local/sbin and the client executables (zabbix_get, zabbix_sender) in /usr/local/bin.

   The configuration files will be installed in /usr/local/etc/zabbix_server.conf.

   cp -rf /var/www/html/zabbix /var/www/html/_zabbix
   cp -rf /home/zabbix${NEW_VERSION}/zabbix-${NEW_VERSION}/ui/* /var/www/html/zabbix/
   rm -rf /var/www/html/_zabbix

8. If required, edit php.ini file

   nano /etc/php/8.3/apache2/php.ini

   systemctl restart zabbix-server zabbix-agent apache2
