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> <p>For more information and related downloads for Zabbix components, please visit <a href="https://hub.docker.com/u/zabbix/">https://hub.docker.com/u/zabbix/</a> and <a href="https://zabbix.com">https://zabbix.com</a></p> <h1 id="what-is-zabbix-web-service-">What is Zabbix web service?</h1> <p>Zabbix web service for performing various tasks using headless web browser (for example, reporting).</p> <h1 id="zabbix-web-service-images">Zabbix web service images</h1> <p>These are the only official Zabbix web service Podman images. Images are updated when new releases are published.</p> <h1 id="how-to-use-this-image">How to use this image</h1> <h2 id="start-zabbix-web-service-">Start <code>zabbix-web-service</code></h2> <p>Start a Zabbix web service container as follows:</p> <pre><code>podman <span class="hljs-keyword">run</span><span class="bash"> --name some-zabbix-web-service <span class="hljs-_">-e</span> ZBX_ALLOWEDIP=<span class="hljs-string">"some-zabbix-server"</span> --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN <span class="hljs-_">-d</span> zabbix/zabbix-web-service:tag</span> </code></pre><p>Where <code>some-zabbix-web-service</code> is the name you want to assign to your container, <code>some-zabbix-server</code> is IP or DNS name of Zabbix server and <code>tag</code> is the tag specifying the version you want.</p> <h2 id="connects-from-zabbix-server-in-other-containers">Connects from Zabbix server in other containers</h2> <p>This image exposes the standard Zabbix web service port (<code>10053</code>) to perform communication, so container linking makes Zabbix web service instance available to Zabbix server containers. Start your application container like this in order to link it to the Zabbix web service container:</p> <pre><code class="lang-console">$ podman <span class="hljs-keyword">run</span><span class="bash"> --name some-zabbix-server --link some-zabbix-web-service:zabbix-web-service <span class="hljs-_">-e</span> ZBX_STARTREPORTWRITERS=<span class="hljs-string">"2"</span> <span class="hljs-_">-e</span> ZBX_WEBSERVICEURL=<span class="hljs-string">"http://some-zabbix-web-service:10053/report"</span> <span class="hljs-_">-d</span> zabbix/zabbix-server:latest</span> </code></pre> <h2 id="container-shell-access-and-viewing-zabbix-web-service-logs">Container shell access and viewing Zabbix web service logs</h2> <p>The <code>podman exec</code> command allows you to run commands inside a Podman container.
