sudo echo '[andrewfarley]
name=Andrew Farley RPM Repository
baseurl=http://repo.andrewfarley.com/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0' > /etc/yum.repos.d/andrewfarley.com.repo

And then you can install zabbix agent, zabbix server, zabbix get, or zabbix proxy with…

    sudo yum install zabbix-agent
