Database configuration for Zabbix server
################################################
Edit server host, name, user and password in zabbix_server.conf as follows, replacing <username_password> with actual password of PostgreSQL user:

    # vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
    DBHost=
    DBName=zabbix
    DBUser=zabbix
    DBPassword=<username_password>

You might want to keep default setting DBHost=localhost (or an IP address), but this would make PostgreSQL use network socket connecting to Zabbix. See SELinux configuration block below for instructions.

        # systemctl start zabbix-server
        # systemctl enable zabbix-server
