+zabbix_agent2 is the new generation Linux agent written on golang.
+Used to monitor Linux boxes and send the data to the zabbix server.
+
+Zabbix offers advanced monitoring, alerting and visualization
+features, including distributed monitoring, auto-discovery,
+notifications, etcetera.
+
+zabbix_agent2 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: zabbixagent UID: 266 GID: 266
+ group: zabbixagent GID: 266
+
+You can pass alternate values for the user and group using
+ZABBIXAGENTUSER and ZABBIXAGENTGROUP variables when running the build
+script.
+
+For some important post-build and basic configuration instructions,
+see the included README.SLACKWARE file.
