To compile PHP for Zabbix 2.2 frontend you will need to use the following keys:


./configure --enable-mbstring --enable-sockets --with-mysql --with-mysqli --with-ldap --enable-fpm --enable-bcmath --with-gettext --with-xmlrpc --with-openssl --with-mcrypt --with-gd --with-zlib --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/freetype2 --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib


PHP ini required values (minimal):


memory_limit = 128M
post_max_size = 16M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 300
session.auto_start = 0


Here is simple backup script for Zabbix 2 configuration data (hosts, items, templates etc). It will not backup history/event/trend data, so backup file is relatively small.

Just replace ZBX_DB and ZBX_USER with Zabbix database name and username.


mysqldump -u ZBX_USER -p ZBX_DB \

--ignore-table=ZBX_DB.alerts \
