I just used this guide to install Zabbix 5.2.2 on a new NAS I built with OpenMediaVault and ZFS. OMV does not have a great built-in monitor, so Zabbix is way better at telling me when a drive is having trouble.
Well, I decided OMV was not so useful, so I just installed Ubuntu instead and setup a ZFS pool myself. Then I installed Zabbix using this Docker method. the docker-compose files install the zabbix-agent container, but I want zabbix-agent2. How can I do it? I also have not been able to edit the zabbix-server config file in the container. How can I do it?
I managed to modify the docker-compose file to switch to zabbix-agent2 by changing this value: image: zabbix/zabbix-agent2:latest I also added a line to start the container services: restart: always
only thing i had slight problem with was getting zabbix server monitor itself through the agent when i first setup a docker demo in my homelab otherwise it was a quick as running docker-compose up :) really handy for demo's and testing
You don't need to type the whole Id of the container, just a first few symbols, as long as they are distinct from the other starting symbols in other IDs. For example, if Id is a34f43cd1234, typing "a3" is enough (or even just "a" if you don't have any other container IDs starting from "a")
Hello. Helpful Video but I have the problem with the containers and the ip address at 17:00 min. This IP Address 172.16.239.6 will change when you docker-compose down and up the containers. I have the problem that my zabbix agent that is also running in a container is not finding the zabbix server container, no matter if I use the DNS or IP Host option. Maybe I do something wrong or have a misconception. Can you help ?
Great guide to getting the files downloaded but mine never starts and is stuck at, "MySQL server is not available, waiting 5 seconds" You seem to skip over anything setting up for MySQL, so what must I do to sort this?
Hi. Thanks for videos. Could you make another one regarding auto-discovery of Proxmox Containers in Zabbix ? Without using zabbix-agent. Thanks and Good luck!
Thx your tutorial. I have a question about checking zabbix server hostname and network card mac address. I follow your video 16:51 setting. And then zabbix record "System name" is zabbix agent hostname. If check mac address it will show zabbix agent network card's mac address. Is that setting is checking zabbix agent container not checking zabbix server container?
All the functionality are working in the docker but the java gateway is not working where the JMX is not able to connect . getting error when trying to get data ERROR "JavaGateway configuration parameter not set or empty" as i am using it from last 18 months ..
in contrary of the video: If you change the variable files under env_vars a simple config_cache_reload does not work. You need to run the entire docker-compose command!
I've been following this tutorial and everything was working accordingly. Once I tried to checkout to 3.4 and pull all the zabbix 3.4 images, I get an error on the zabbix_server image.
Да, верно, странно, что этого нет в документации, zabbix был скопирован в версию 3 файла docker-compose, используются разделы развертывания, но они не работают в режиме docker-compose up -d. Я думаю, что это должно быть примерно так: docker swarm init & docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yaml zbx
Dear Dmitry I am trying to monitor my AWS WAN Availability on my Zabbix, but the notification only stops at the Zabbix dashboard that there is a problem, but I can not receive on my Telegram which I set up for messaging, all other notifications I have been receiving notifications except for the AWS WAN. please help thanks
I followed your instructions on running docker-compose, but the web server container comes up unhealthy. The logs say I do not have a database :( So, I will install postgresql, but I am not sure if I need to create a Zabbix database, or how to convey the credentials to the docker compose script. I'll keep trying.
I discovered the database error is related to my installing Zabbix in a VirtualBox VM. When I install it on a physical machine, it works perfectly. I will see if I can fix the problem in a VM.
All of your configuration is stored in the Zabbix database. On the database level we can classify the tables in 2 types: 1. History and Trend tables 2. Configuration tables If you wish to back up only your configuration, simply back up all of the tables excluding the history/trend tables. If you wish to back up everything, including the collected metric history/trends - do a full DB dump.
I am looking for Zabbix HA cluster setups with docker containers. I cannot find anything from internet. Can someone provide any information on that? Thanks!
I fallow instruction and everything was working correctly, but I cannot create externalscript because I've gotten this error: Read-only file system. What should I do?
Hello! Good tutorial I wish u have time to explain me how to add a new host to monitoring other docker. I try to create a new container but i cannot connect to zabbix server. Thanks a lot.
hello i have some problem here when i try docker-compose up error said ERROR: The Compose file './docker-compose_v3_alpine_mysql_latest.yaml' is invalid because: services.zabbix-web-apache-mysql.healthcheck value Additional properties are not allowed ('start_period' was unexpected) services.zabbix-web-nginx-mysql.healthcheck value Additional properties are not allowed ('start_period' was unexpected) anyone can help?

Hello my friends, i have a zabbix 4.2.3 server on ubuntu 18.04, and i trying to monitoring a docker (apache/php) but I cant find the way, so it is possible? and how? thaks for your time.
Thanks, Dmitry! Very useful tutorial, i was looking how to setup zabbix agent in container and I found it.
I thought I need to have the DB installed as a container separately! This is way too easy! Thank you

Extremely helpful, Dmitry! Your other videos in your other channel are also very helpful. Thank you!

Do you know now hot to monitor zabbix server in docker by agent in another docker ?
Дмитрий, спасибо!
Thank you very much Dmitry, very accessible and useful
Great tutorial, keep up the good work!
another very clear and usefull video!
Thank you for this quality video.
Genial el video dmitry, bien explicado!
Keep Going ! Perfect job

Very gooood .. excelent... thank you...
A video tutorial about low-level discovery would be helpful.
I'm not sure why I'm getting a "Database error - The Front End does not match the Zabbix Database"

I have a question about checking zabbix server hostname and network card mac address.
I follow your video 16:51 setting. And then zabbix record "System name" is zabbix agent hostname.
If check mac address it will show zabbix agent network card's mac address.
Is that setting is checking zabbix agent container not checking zabbix server container?
I can't find the Frontend configuration file anywhere. Even when I enter my docker container I can't find it anywhere. How can I find it?
Instead of looking up the IP of the agent every time, you can set it to DNS and enter the service name of the agent. (zabbix-agent in this case)
All the functionality are working in the docker but the java gateway is not working where the JMX is not able to connect . getting error when trying to get data ERROR "JavaGateway configuration parameter not set or empty" as i am using it from last 18 months ..
it is posible to switch minor or major version without delete databases?

I've been following this tutorial and everything was working accordingly. Once I tried to checkout to 3.4 and pull all the zabbix 3.4 images, I get an error on the zabbix_server image.
Can you do a similar video deploying Zabbix using Docker swarm mode?

zabbix-agent does not start if I run docker-compose_v3_alpine_mysql_latest.yaml, do I need to edit the config to start it? branch 6.2

Tell me how to monitor PostgreSQL base Zabbix if it is in a container ?
Can you please explain how to deploy a zabbix docker on a Truenas Scale system? For newbies 🙏
Great vid, what is the connection manager software you are using? Also could you do a deeper dive vid on docker setup would be good?

Can Zabbix monitor docker containers?
DID YOU FIND THE WAY? I HAVE THE SAME QUESTION.
@@danielbaeza744 The best lead that I fond is github.com/rpsedlak/zabbix-docker . But I didn't test it yet.
how to backup the zabbix configuration in container environment, so no need to create all hosts again and again?
All of your configuration is stored in the Zabbix database. On the database level we can classify the tables in 2 types:
1. History and Trend tables
2. Configuration tables

I fallow instruction and everything was working correctly, but I cannot create externalscript because I've gotten this error: Read-only file system. What should I do?
in your docker-compose file, edit all the "externalscripts:ro" to "externalscripts:rw", to make it writable
Hello! Good tutorial

Nice tutorial !
Where did you have your mug made, I love it !
How we can change the config file in zabbix server? (such Listen port, not include in .env_srv)
Is there any instructions about how to run zabbix docker on AWS ECS with RDS?
Hi Sir Do you have any viedo or documents how to monitor OSPF Cisco

Can you please make a video about JMX monitoring of wildfly server
Hey, can you train me on zabbix in and out?
Please create video to monitor RDS instance from zabbix server
Yeah!
at 9 mins I think he gets started
Why your back is white?
I think, monitoring systems shouldn't dockerize.
