It really takes only a few minutes to deploy your first Zabbix server, install Zabbix agents on the server where you are running your Docker containers and start to monitor them with a native template that utilizes the Zabbix agent2 GO plugin.

Great video effectively. One point I missed, maybe because running debian. The need to add the zabbix user to the docker group via sudo usermod -aG docker zabbix. I wonder if you could also make a video related to the install of the zabbix agent within docker to monitor the docker environment (would be handy for my synology environment)

[@tiennguyenthe7601]

Hello Dmitry Lambert, You can make a video tutorial to monitor Asterisk using Zabbix, I'm learning about it, but it's pretty vague. br,

[@saulodtasso]

Hello, have you done the video with docker monitoring, with agent2 installed in docker?

[@Darkii1smile]

Thanks for the video Dmitry! But what is the point of installing zabbix agent not in docker?

[@rasamaha2024]

Because u need an access to docker socket which is running outside of containers

[@EdsonCardoso1]

Hello! Awesome video, man!! Let me make a question... In my scenario, we don't got it works using default port in zabbix agent 10050. For any reason, after this activate, my host docker is become down. Can i activate zabbix agent with another tcp port? Thanks a lot.

[@CatalinSoare]

Hello, I suppose you already found an answer. You might have had the old / classic zabbix agent already running on 10050. In that case, you can configure the agent2 to run on 10052 maybe; this is what I had to do, since I was testing this on the zabbix server.

[@HAL_-sg1up]

Hi Dmitry could the agent work with podman?

[@CaptainGus26]

Hello, How the trigger will look like when the container status changes and it is restarted?

[@devworldotallu]

Hello, I want to deploy zabbix using docker swarm mode. How to deploy it?

[@dungtrananh1522]

Have you tried configuring zabbix agent to monitor the docker host containing the zabbix server docker container?

[@rasamaha2024]

U still need agent outside of container, and thats all u need

[@dungtrananh1522]

@@rasamaha2024 I have already done this way.

Does anyone have an idea on how to install the Zabbix Agent on Photon OS 4 rev2? I'm getting missing libs that I cannot figure out (yum install zabbix-agent2-6.0.2-1.el8.x86_64.rpm 1. nothing provides libpcre2-8.so.0()(64bit) needed by zabbix-agent2-6.0.2-1.el8.x86_64 Found 1 problem(s) while resolving Error(1301) : Solv general runtime error) Thank you for your time.

how to do it with active agent?

I want to create a trigger for docker restart in Zabbix can anyone help me?

[@chandandutta3319]

Hello Brother. I want to add some odd 1000 routers and Switches from Cisco with snmpV3 configuration done. How can I automate this addition in zabbix. Manual addition is very time consuming. Thanks in advance.

[@mustaphaaissat8582]

You can use Ansible. There is a module in ansible that allow you to add/update hosts in zabbix : docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/zabbix/zabbix_host_module.html#ansible-collections-community-zabbix-zabbix-host-module

Thanks for your video! But how did you find the plugin? Because I don't have anything in the : /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.d

[@michabbb]

nice video! but you are also one of those people, constantly ignoring the fact, that English has a "th". ;(
