+=========
+
+Zabbix is the ultimate enterprise-level software designed for real-time monitoring of millions of metrics collected from tens of thousands of servers, virtual machines and network devices. Zabbix is Open Source and comes at no cost.
+
+The link https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/installation/install_from_packages gives the instalation guide of Zabbix in linux servers. After the installation of Zabbix server and agent, there is a need to configure the .conf files::
+
+   vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
+
+       Server=<Server_IP>
+       ServerActive=<Server_IP>
+       Hostname=<Agent_IP>
+
+To add the Zabbix agent host to be monitored, please click Configuration->Hosts->Create host on the Zabbix server dashboard.
