Zabbix offers advanced monitoring, alerting and visualization features, including distributed monitoring, auto-discovery, notifications, etcetera. zabbix_java_gateway needs to run under its own user/group. This has been assigned to the following by SlackBuilds.org, but feel free to change it on your system for consistency with local assignments. User: zabbix UID: 228 GID: 228 group: zabbix GID: 228 You can pass alternate values for the user and group using ZABBIXUSER and ZABBIXGROUP variables when running the build script. For some important post-build and basic configuration instructions, see the included README.SLACKWARE file.
