Media
USB & disk image
This is an image of your disk, ready to be written to either a USB drive or your hard disk. When written, it will erase all data on a disk. During the first boot, your partition will be automatically resized to fill available space.
ISO image
Burn this ISO file to a DVD (or CD, if the space allows), and you'll be able to boot directly from the disc.
Preload ISO
A bootable ISO containing the appliance disk image. Boots into a simple graphical environment and prompts for confirmation before writing the image onto the hard drive. Useful for performing automated system installs/preloads.
Warning: Overwrites all data on the target hard drive.

Is there anyway you could include an EC2 image?
ec2 format requires additional packages, which seemed to be a bit of an overkill.
but feel free to clone the appliance and add those packages yourself, then build the ec2 format :)
But how do you clone this appliance?
hmm, there should be “clone” button somewhere, although finding it in the redesigned interface seems to be a bit of a challenge.
isn’t such a button visible somewhere ?
If I look at other appliance there is a clone button in the upper-left corner under “version X.X.X”.
I’ve send a feedback to the SUSE Studio team…
The Suse Studio support team has activated the clone option for this appliance.
…and EC2 image has been included in the default builds now :)
ok, just downloaded 1.8.9.
converted to Workstation 8 format and started on my PE1950 as an appliance. All default, works very well. No weird things; it starts and runs.
Better than the ones we used during the training to become a zabbix expert.
On a sidenote — my two cats are called Zabbix and Nagios..
I’m getting the same error:
Image checksum test failedrebootException: error consoles at Alt-F3/F4rebootException: reboot in 120 sec...I’m using the following:
Zabbix_1.8_x86.i686-1.8.9.preload.iso

The VM I’m installing to is configured as “Other 2.6 linux” with 8GB HD and 2GB RAM

Do you have a checksum for the ISO file?
I just tried with the preload CD for 1.8.7 and it worked. I left everything else the same.
This issue does exist on 1.8.7 Preload ISO also

Tested 1.8.7 in VMWare player multiple times, does not seem to have any issues. Are you sure it is indeed 1.8.7 image? Which virtualisation environment is being used?
Do you have an idea when these appliances will be officially pronounced production-worthy out-of-the-box?
Hard to say. While appliance has improved a lot and in some areas it is even better than the main distribution (template, value map and other default dataset improvements), there are still some issues appearing every now and then – for example, 1.8.8 advertising itself as 1.8.7 in the boot messages. There are less and less of such issues, though, so it being declared more stable in near future seems likely.
Impossible to install in a virtualbox environnement, in the preload iso, getting
reboot triggered by user
reboot in 30 sec
Obliged to install it from source…
While you did not mention appliance version, it’s probably 1.8.6 where preload ISO fails. Re-building 1.8.6 seems to be quite cumbersome at this point, though (as 1.8.7 upgraded to OpenSUSE 11.4). Preload ISO 1.8.7 works just fine, though, so it is suggested to try that one instead.
Very very wanna distribution zabbix 1.8.7 baset on opensuse 11.4. when you bild this?
1.8.7, based on 11.4 is available now. Note that 1.8.8 is expected in about one week.
Yep, i get the same error in preload iso distrib

Indeed, 1.8.6 preload ISO fails. Re-building 1.8.6 seems to be quite cumbersome at this point, though (as 1.8.7 upgraded to OpenSUSE 11.4). Preload ISO 1.8.7 works just fine, though, so it is suggested to try that one instead.

Please look into this. Thanks

Dear author, once again hello. Testing your assemblage has found out in it following problems, there can be you can tell, why they arise?
1. At installation of the server from LiveCD the error that there is no licence contract jumps out, in suse studio this point of the menu names EULA, enter there that be at new assemblage when it will do, and that is very much lost aesthetic pleasure)))
2. Right after server installations in dashboadr are visible following errors, screen pictures look under references

http://s002.radikal.ru/i199/1107/36/e8154ac90e15.jpg
1. In general, users shouldn’t be forced much to suffer click-through agreements. Error itself reported in SUSE Studio IRC channel.
2. Both links return 404
1. No, I am completely confident, as I personally tested the given error. The error at the installation, connected with absence of the licence agreement arises only in that case when at creation to the next assemblage in suse studio in menu EULA it is left the empty. Please, insert there though any text that this error would not arise. I have checked up, all business in absence of the text in EULA, it is possible to write simply ZABBIX and the error any more will not be.
Yes, but just writing something there is a workaround, not a proper solution – it should not complain if something optional is not filled in.
Many thanks!!! Make please ZABBIX 1.8.5 on base openSUSE 11.4.
To avoid too many changes, 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 will still be based on 11.3. 1.8.7 appliance is planned on 11.4. Oh, and there’s also issue with upgrading to 11.4 in SUSE Studio, where seemingly with some browsers it is not possible to upgrade net-snmp :)
Many thanks for the answer, we will wait for version 1.8.7 release, by the way, when the release is planned?
There are no specific plans for the 1.8.7 timeframe currently. 1.8.6 might be expected in a couple of weeks, though.
Tell please, and all дальнешие versions ZABBIX 1.8.6 1.8.7 and will gather you further in the distribution kit on suse studio, very much it would be desirable that it would be so. It is magnificent, huge to you for these thanks.
Sorry, this message was not understandable.
