    I've been using Zabbix running in a Docker container on one of my Synology NAS units for nearly a year. It is truly an awesome tool and I was rather surprised when one day it notified me that a port on one of my switches changed to a slower speed. When I check the switches in my network rack, I noticed that the port that Zabbix informed me about, had gone from Gigabit speed to 100 megabits. It turns out I had an intermittent faulty patch cable, which I otherwise might not have immediately noticed (but Zabbix immediate did).

      Nice can you tell if you have a site that says how to install it in docker (synology)

      @@HoekNoot I used the documentation from Docker Hub for all the environmental variables, etc. One really important thing is to use the host network for the Zabbix server container and not the bridge network. Otherwise your devices won't be found. Put your database on the host network as well so you can access it via its port number. The Zabbix web container can be on either, but I put it on the bridge network so I can use Web Station to assign it a name and a different port. Hope this helps.

    thnx for this videos

  • @morguegrotesque

    Just a note... There is no need to add the port 10051 to the active host as Zabbix has 10050 for passive and 10051 for active checks out of the box.. and i think they are registered to Zabbix those 2 ports.
    and the only reason to add a port is if you dont use the defaults.

      @@SpaceRexWill Delighted to hear that! You do a terrific job on your videos and I look forward to an installation tutorial with great anticipation. Please consider an installation tutorial specifically focused on running Zabbix in a Docker container on Synology. You are THE MAN when it comes to synology, so this would totally be in your wheelhouse. I have a DS1821+. I have successfully installed Grafana, but I am unable to get the Zabbix plug-in working in Grafana. I've been spinning my wheels for a while now and haven't cracked the code on how to get it working yet. Thanks again, Will and I'm grateful for all your helpful and informative videos.

      @SpaceRexWill can you send screenshot of dashboard or anything, trying to decide if will build my own but not seeing any images and if anything more than metrics, value is usually in visualization and comprehensiveness... I've written extensions for other network gear in the past, tbh insight isn't bad..its just spread out too much and not complete
