+Zabbix Proxies may greatly simplify maintenance of Zabbix environment 
+and increase performance of the central Zabbix server.
+
+Also, use of Zabbix Proxies is the easiest way of implementing centralized 
+and distributed monitoring, when all Agents and Proxies report to one 
+Zabbix server and all data is collected centrally.
+
+Zabbix offers advanced monitoring, alerting and visualization features, 
+including distributed monitoring, auto-discovery, notifications, etcetera.
+
+zabbix_proxy needs to run under its own user/group. This has been assigned to
+the following by SlackBuilds.org, but feel free to change it on your
+system for consistency with local assignments.
+  User:   zabbix            UID: 228        GID: 228
+  group:  zabbix                            GID: 228
+
+You can pass alternate values for the user and group using
+ZABBIXUSER and ZABBIXGROUP variables when running the build script.
+
+For some important post-build and basic configuration instructions, 
+see the included README.SLACKWARE file.

+README.Slackware
+================
+
+This file contains some specific instructions to complete the
+installation of zabbix_proxy on Slackware.
+
+You will need to have a working installation of MySQL (*) for zabbix_proxy 
+to run. MySQL server does not have to be on the same box as your
+zabbix_proxy, but they need to be able to communicate and you will need at 
+least the MySQL client on the box that will run zabbix_proxy.
+
+(*) zabbix can work with MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQLite databases,
+    but these instructions are for MySQL, as it is included with Slackware.
+
+0) Before running the SlackBuild script
+---------------------------------------
+
+0.1) zabbix group & user
+
+Before running the zabbix_proxy.SlackBuild script, you will need to create
+the 'zabbix' user and group. The script won't run if these do not
+exist.
+
+The suggested UID and GID is 228, but you can change this as needed:
+
+  # groupadd -g 228 zabbix
+  # useradd -u 228 -g zabbix -d /dev/null -s /bin/false zabbix
+
+1) Configuring zabbix_proxy
+---------------------------
+
+For those in a hurry, here are some basic steps to get zabbix proxy up &
+running:
+
+1.1) Create initial database
+
+On your MySQL server, connect with full privileges:
+
+  # mysql -u <your_user> -p<your_password>
+
+Create the zabbix database & user:
+
+  mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8;
+  mysql> use mysql;
+  mysql> grant all on zabbix.* to zabbix@<your_zabbix_proxy> identified by '<your_password>';
+  mysql> flush privileges;
+  mysql> quit
+
+(note: if your MySQL server and zabbix server are the same, use "localhost"
+ for <your_zabbix_proxy>)
+
+On your zabbix server, connect to the new database:
+
+  # cd /usr/share/zabbix_proxy/create
+  # mysql -h <your_mysql_server> -u zabbix -p<your_password> zabbix
+
+In MySQL, create the schema & add initial data:
+
+  mysql> source schema/mysql.sql;
+  mysql> quit
+
+1.2) zabbix_proxy configuration file
+
+A standard configuration file is installed as /etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.conf
+
+You will need to change at least the following lines:
+
+  Server=<ip_of_your_zabbix_proxy>
+  Hostname=<hostname_of_your_zabbix_proxy>
+
+  DBHost=<your_mysql_server>		(Change if MySQL is not on localhost)
+  DBUser=zabbix				("root" doesn't sound like a good idea)
+  DBPassword=<your_password>		(Change as defined above)
+
+2) Start & Stop scripts for zabbix server
+-----------------------------------------
+
+2.1) Automatic startup and shutdown
+
+If you want to start zabbix_proxy on system bootup, include these lines in
+your /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+  # Start zabbix_proxy
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy ]; then
+    echo "Starting zabbix proxy..."
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy start
+  fi
+
+To guarantee a clean shutdown of zabbix_proxy, include this in 
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown:
+
+  # Stop zabbix_proxy
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy ]; then
+    echo "Stopping zabbix proxy..."
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy stop
+  fi
+
+2.2) Make /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy executable
+
+Additionally, you'll have to set the rc script to be executable just like 
+any other Slackware rc script:
+
+  # chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy
+
+3) Starting zabbix proxy daemon
+-------------------------------
+
+Now you are ready to start zabbix_proxy by calling the startup script:
+
+  # /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_proxy start
+
+You can check the log file (/var/log/zabbix/zabbig_proxy.log) in case of
+problems.
+
+Zabbix uses ports 10050 & 10051 to communicate, so make sure these aren't
+blocked on your network.
