<h1 id="what-is-zabbix-">What is Zabbix?</h1>
<p>Zabbix is an enterprise-class open source distributed monitoring solution.</p>
<p>Zabbix is software that monitors numerous parameters of a network and the health and integrity of servers. Zabbix uses a flexible notification mechanism that allows users to configure e-mail based alerts for virtually any event. This allows a fast reaction to server problems. Zabbix offers excellent reporting and data visualisation features based on the stored data. This makes Zabbix ideal for capacity planning.</p>

<h1 id="what-is-zabbix-web-interface-">What is Zabbix web interface?</h1>
<p>Zabbix web interface is a part of Zabbix software. It is used to manage resources under monitoring and view monitoring statistics.</p>
<h1 id="zabbix-web-interface-images">Zabbix web interface images</h1>
<p>These are the only official Zabbix web interface Podman images. Images are updated when new releases are published.</p>
<p>Zabbix web interface available in four editions, but only one as Red Hat Certified container:</p>
<ul>
<li>Zabbix web-interface based on Apache2 web server with MySQL database support</li>
<li>Zabbix web-interface based on Apache2 web server with PostgreSQL database support</li>
<li>Zabbix web-interface based on Nginx web server with MySQL database support</li>
<li>Zabbix web-interface based on Nginx web server with PostgreSQL database support</li>
</ul>
<p>The image based on Nginx web server with MySQL database support.</p>

<h2 id="start-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql-">Start <code>zabbix-web-nginx-mysql</code></h2>
<p>Start a Zabbix web-interface container as follows:</p>
<pre><code>podman <span class="hljs-keyword">run</span><span class="bash"> --name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql <span class="hljs-_">-e</span> DB_SERVER_HOST=<span class="hljs-string">"some-mysql-server"</span> <span class="hljs-_">-e</span> MYSQL_USER=<span class="hljs-string">"some-user"</span> <span class="hljs-_">-e</span> MYSQL_PASSWORD=<span class="hljs-string">"some-password"</span> <span class="hljs-_">-e</span> ZBX_SERVER_HOST=<span class="hljs-string">"some-zabbix-server"</span> <span class="hljs-_">-e</span> PHP_TZ=<span class="hljs-string">"some-timezone"</span> <span class="hljs-_">-d</span> zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-mysql:tag</span>
</code></pre><p>Where <code>some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql</code> is the name you want to assign to your container, <code>some-mysql-server</code> is IP or DNS name of MySQL server, <code>some-user</code> is user to connect to Zabbix database on MySQL server, <code>some-password</code> is the password to connect to MySQL server, <code>some-zabbix-server</code> is IP or DNS name of Zabbix server or proxy, <code>some-timezone</code> is PHP like timezone name and <code>tag</code> is the tag specifying the version you want.</p>

</code></pre><h2 id="container-shell-access-and-viewing-zabbix-web-interface-logs">Container shell access and viewing Zabbix web interface logs</h2>
<p>The <code>podman exec</code> command allows you to run commands inside a Podman container. The following command line will give you a bash shell inside your <code>zabbix-web-nginx-mysql</code> container:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-console">$ podman exec -ti <span class="hljs-keyword">some</span>-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql /bin/bash

<pre><code class="lang-console">$ podman logs  <span class="hljs-keyword">some</span>-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql
</code></pre>
<h2 id="environment-variables">Environment Variables</h2>
<p>When you start the <code>zabbix-web-nginx-mysql</code> image, you can adjust the configuration of the Zabbix web interface by passing one or more environment variables on the <code>podman run</code> command line.</p>
<h3 id="-zbx_server_host-"><code>ZBX_SERVER_HOST</code></h3>
<p>This variable is IP or DNS name of Zabbix server. By default, value is <code>zabbix-server</code>.</p>
<h3 id="-zbx_server_port-"><code>ZBX_SERVER_PORT</code></h3>
<p>This variable is port Zabbix server listening on. By default, value is <code>10051</code>.</p>
<h3 id="-db_server_host-"><code>DB_SERVER_HOST</code></h3>
<p>This variable is IP or DNS name of MySQL server. By default, value is &#39;mysql-server&#39;</p>
<h3 id="-db_server_port-"><code>DB_SERVER_PORT</code></h3>
<p>This variable is port of MySQL server. By default, value is &#39;3306&#39;.</p>
<h3 id="-mysql_user-mysql_password-mysql_user_file-mysql_password_file-"><code>MYSQL_USER</code>, <code>MYSQL_PASSWORD</code>, <code>MYSQL_USER_FILE</code>, <code>MYSQL_PASSWORD_FILE</code></h3>
<p>These variables are used by Zabbix web-interface to connect to Zabbix database. With the <code>_FILE</code> variables you can instead provide the path to a file which contains the user / the password instead. Without Docker Swarm or Kubernetes you also have to map the files. Those are exclusive so you can just provide one type - either <code>MYSQL_USER</code> or <code>MYSQL_USER_FILE</code>!</p>
<pre><code class="lang-console">podman run --name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql -e DB_SERVER_HOST=<span class="hljs-string">"some-mysql-server"</span> -v .<span class="hljs-regexp">/.MYSQL_USER:/</span>run<span class="hljs-regexp">/secrets/</span>MYSQL_USER -e MYSQL_USER_FILE=<span class="hljs-regexp">/run/</span>secrets<span class="hljs-regexp">/MYSQL_USER -v ./</span>.<span class="hljs-string">MYSQL_PASSWORD:</span><span class="hljs-regexp">/run/</span>secrets<span class="hljs-regexp">/MYSQL_PASSWORD -e MYSQL_PASSWORD_FILE=/</span>var<span class="hljs-regexp">/run/</span>secrets<span class="hljs-regexp">/MYSQL_PASSWORD -e PHP_TZ="some-timezone" -d zabbix/</span>zabbix-web-nginx-<span class="hljs-string">mysql:</span>tag
</code></pre>
<p>With Docker Swarm or Kubernetes this works with secrets. That way it is replicated in your cluster!</p>
<pre><code class="lang-console"><span class="hljs-built_in">printf</span> <span class="hljs-string">"zabbix"</span> | podman secret create MYSQL_USER -
<span class="hljs-built_in">printf</span> <span class="hljs-string">"zabbix"</span> | podman secret create MYSQL_PASSWORD -
