Which maximum version of Zabbix is supprted on CentOs 6.
Dear Experts.
I have a hard time to install Zabbix 3.2 on Cent Os.
After apparently successfully running
rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm
Then I am running
yum install zabbix-server-pgsql zabbix-web-pgsql zabbix-agent
but it stubbornly tries packs for CentOs7
---> Package zabbix-agent.x86_64 0:3.2.1-1.el7 will be installed
--> Processing Dependency: systemd for package: zabbix-agent-3.2.1-1.el7.x 86_64
...
Error: Package: zabbix-agent-3.2.1-1.el7.x 86_64 (zabbix)
Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.15)(64bi t)
I stumbled up on on indication that 3.0 and higher are not guaranteed on CentOs 6: Is this correct?:

Zabbix 3.0 Server is not officially supported for RHEL 6
However we have packages http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/rhel/6/x86_64/deprecated/ but without any guarantee that they will work.
CentOS 6 does not have official PHP 5.4 version. It is minimal supported version for Zabbix 3.0 web-interface.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Changing the CentOs from 6 to 7 is not my option. I must stick with 6.
1.
Does 2.2+ means that 2.4 will work on CentOs 6?
Does 2.2+ means that 3.2 will work on CentOs 6? 3.2 belongs to range 2.2+.
Your answer seems contradictory.
2.
I still see some 3.2 packages for CentOs 6. Will my server's traffic audition work if I run them aka this?:
rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-agent-3.2.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-get-3.2.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-proxy-pgsql-3.2.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-java-gateway-3.2.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

# yum list zabbix*
indicates that "zabbix-release.noarch 3.2-1.el6 installed
Will it work for me if I just run
"yum install zabbix-release" and be able to run audtions, use a database etc.
4.
At the moment, yum list zabbix* brings the only 2.2 pack for CentOs 6.
zabbix22.x86_64 2.2.14-1.el6 epel
zabbix22-agent.x86_64 2.2.14-1.el6 epel
zabbix22-dbfiles-pgsql.noa rch 2.2.14-1.el6 epel
zabbix22-server-pgsql.x86_ 64 2.2.14-1.el6 epel
zabbix22-web.noarch 2.2.14-1.el6 epel
zabbix22-server.noarch 2.2.14-1.el6 epel
zabbix22-web-pgsql.noarch 2.2.14-1.el6 epel
Do I really need server? agent, pgsql ( db of my choice )?
Thank you.

PS. By the way, even "zabbix-release" is installed, I cannot find database/postgresql anywhere on my PC:
I may need this folder to set up a database according instructions. All I can find is this:
locate zabbix
/etc/selinux/targeted/modu les/active /modules/z abbix.pp
/usr/share/selinux/devel/i nclude/ser vices/zabb ix.if
/usr/share/selinux/targete d/zabbix.p p.bz2
It does not seem like a valid installation at all.

Thank you. You did a good job. I have to rate it.
I still don't understand, if I successfully ran:
rpm -Uvh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.2/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm
according to doc. why would you say: I don't have "repo" installed.
And if I need zabbix server, is it not included in zabbix-release? And what is a purpose of vendor to include
zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.n oarch.rpm
but not include other packs into Zabbix 3.2 for CentOs 6. What is that zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.n oarch.rpm for otherwise?
And zabbix vendor does officially say:
"Some packages (agent, proxy, etc) are available for RHEL 5 and RHEL 6, too. "
on their site:
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.2/manual/installation/install_from_packages
so, I just took these packages for Z. 3.2 and CO 6; they don't have "zabbix-server", so one may conclude that
zabbix server is included in zabbix-release. Otherwise, why these packs are given at all?
I may open another thread if feel so.
Thank you again.

according to doc. why would you say: I don't have "repo" installed.Because when you issue yum list zabbix, only EPEL repo listed zabbix packages. Looks like you have not installed the zabbix repo. The zabbix packages in EPEL is NOT official and out-dated, you should not be using the ones in EPEL if you intended to keep it updated.
You can install rpm with yum or rpm, the difference is yum able to track dependencies and other power stuff than rpm does not have - rollback.
And what is a purpose of vendor to include zabbix-release-3.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm
zabbix-release-x.elx.noarc
[mazdajai@zbxn1 ~]$ rpm -qla zabbix-release
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-ZABBIX

You can try asking in Zabbix forum, but AFAIK it is not recommended to install Zabbix 3 on anything older than 7. Good luck.
so, I just took these packages for Z. 3.2 and CO 6; they don't have "zabbix-server"

Masdajai,
thank you for your follow-ups again. It's informative. I continued in different way: from 3.2 source until I meet either a success or failure: posting a new question: "How far Zabbix 3.2 will reach on CentOs 6.8."

You better off go with 7 on Zabbix 3, zabbix-agent will continue to work on 6 but zabbix-server may break in 6 in the future.
