This document provides instructions for installing Zabbix on an Ubuntu server. It discusses installing Ubuntu Server, configuring the server's IP address, installing required packages like SNMP and OpenSSH. It then covers installing the Zabbix server package and frontend, configuring the MySQL database, and accessing the Zabbix web interface for the first time using the default Admin/zabbix credentials. The goal is to set up a basic Zabbix server that can monitor network devices and servers via SNMP and send email alerts.
