# What is Zabbix?
|
|
|
|
Zabbix is an enterprise-class open source distributed monitoring solution.
|
|
|
|
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.

# How to use this image
|
|
|
|
## Start `zabbix-web-nginx-mysql`
|
|
|
|
Start a Zabbix web-interface container as follows:
|
|
|
|
docker run --name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql -e DB_SERVER_HOST="some-mysql-server" -e MYSQL_USER="some-user" -e MYSQL_PASSWORD="some-password" -e ZBX_SERVER_HOST="some-zabbix-server" -e PHP_TZ="some-timezone" -d zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-mysql:tag
|
|
|
|
Where `some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql` is the name you want to assign to your container, `some-mysql-server` is IP or DNS name of MySQL server, `some-user` is user to connect to Zabbix database on MySQL server, `some-password` is the password to connect to MySQL server, `some-zabbix-server` is IP or DNS name of Zabbix server or proxy, `some-timezone` is PHP like timezone name and `tag` is the tag specifying the version you want. See the list above for relevant tags, or look at the [full list of tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-mysql/tags/).
|
|
|
|
## Linking the container to Zabbix server
|
|
|
|
docker run --name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql --link some-zabbix-server:zabbix-server -e DB_SERVER_HOST="some-mysql-server" -e MYSQL_USER="some-user" -e MYSQL_PASSWORD="some-password" -e ZBX_SERVER_HOST="some-zabbix-server" -e PHP_TZ="some-timezone" -d zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-mysql:tag
|
|
|
|
## Linking the container to MySQL database
|
|
|
|
docker run --name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql --link some-mysql-server:mysql -e DB_SERVER_HOST="some-mysql-server" -e MYSQL_USER="some-user" -e MYSQL_PASSWORD="some-password" -e ZBX_SERVER_HOST="some-zabbix-server" -e PHP_TZ="some-timezone" -d zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-mysql:tag
|
|
|
|
## Container shell access and viewing Zabbix web interface logs
|
|
|
|
The `docker exec` command allows you to run commands inside a Docker container. The following command line will give you a bash shell inside your `zabbix-web-nginx-mysql` container:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker exec -ti some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql /bin/bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Zabbix web interface log is available through Docker's container log:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker logs some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
When you start the `zabbix-web-nginx-mysql` image, you can adjust the configuration of the Zabbix web interface by passing one or more environment variables on the `docker run` command line.
|
|
|
|
### `ZBX_SERVER_HOST`
|
|
|
|
This variable is IP or DNS name of Zabbix server. By default, value is `zabbix-server`.
|
|
|
|
### `ZBX_SERVER_PORT`
|
|
|
|
This variable is port Zabbix server listening on. By default, value is `10051`.
|
|
|
|
### `DB_SERVER_HOST`
|
|
|
|
This variable is IP or DNS name of MySQL server. By default, value is 'mysql-server'
|
|
|
|
### `DB_SERVER_PORT`
|
|
|
|
This variable is port of MySQL server. By default, value is '3306'.
|
|
|
|
### `MYSQL_USER`, `MYSQL_PASSWORD`, `MYSQL_USER_FILE`, `MYSQL_PASSWORD_FILE`
|
|
|
|
These variables are used by Zabbix web-interface to connect to Zabbix database. With the `_FILE` 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 `MYSQL_USER` or `MYSQL_USER_FILE`!
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker run --name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql -e DB_SERVER_HOST="some-mysql-server" -v ./.MYSQL_USER:/run/secrets/MYSQL_USER -e MYSQL_USER_FILE=/run/secrets/MYSQL_USER -v ./.MYSQL_PASSWORD:/run/secrets/MYSQL_PASSWORD -e MYSQL_PASSWORD_FILE=/var/run/secrets/MYSQL_PASSWORD -e PHP_TZ="some-timezone" -d zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-mysql:tag
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With Docker Swarm or Kubernetes this works with secrets. That way it is replicated in your cluster!
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
printf "zabbix" | docker secret create MYSQL_USER -
|
|
printf "zabbix" | docker secret create MYSQL_PASSWORD -
|
|
docker run --name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql -e DB_SERVER_HOST="some-mysql-server" -e MYSQL_USER_FILE=/run/secrets/MYSQL_USER -e MYSQL_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/MYSQL_PASSWORD -e ZBX_SERVER_HOST="some-zabbix-server" -e PHP_TZ="some-timezone" -d zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-mysql:tag
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This method is also applicable for `MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD` with `MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD_FILE`.
|
|
|
|
By default, values for `MYSQL_USER` and `MYSQL_PASSWORD` are `zabbix`, `zabbix`.
|
|
|
|
### `MYSQL_DATABASE`
|
|
|
|
The variable is Zabbix database name. By default, value is `zabbix`.
|
|
|
|
### `ZBX_HISTORYSTORAGEURL`
|
|
|
|
History storage HTTP[S] URL. This parameter is used for Elasticsearch setup. Available since 3.4.5.
|
|
|
|
### `ZBX_HISTORYSTORAGETYPES`
|
|
|
|
Array of value types to be sent to the history storage. An example: ['uint', 'dbl']. This parameter is used for Elasticsearch setup. Available since 3.4.5.
|
|
|
|
### `PHP_TZ`
|
|
|
|
The variable is timezone in PHP format. Full list of supported timezones are available on [`php.net`](http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php). By default, value is 'Europe/Riga'.
|
|
|
|
### `ZBX_SERVER_NAME`
|
|
|
|
The variable is visible Zabbix installation name in right top corner of the web interface.
|
|
|
|
### `ZBX_MAXEXECUTIONTIME`
|
|
|
|
The varable is PHP ``max_execution_time`` option. By default, value is `300`.
|
|
|
|
### `ZBX_MEMORYLIMIT`
|
|
|
|
The varable is PHP ``memory_limit`` option. By default, value is `128M`.
|
|
|
|
### `ZBX_POSTMAXSIZE`
|
|
|
|
The varable is PHP ``post_max_size`` option. By default, value is `16M`.
|
|
|
|
### `ZBX_UPLOADMAXFILESIZE`
|
|
|
|
The varable is PHP ``upload_max_filesize`` option. By default, value is `2M`.
|
|
|
|
### `ZBX_MAXINPUTTIME`
|
|
|
|
The varable is PHP ``max_input_time`` option. By default, value is `300`.
|
|
|
|
## Allowed volumes for the Zabbix web interface container
|
|
|
|
### ``/etc/ssl/nginx``
|
|
|
|
The volume allows to enable HTTPS for the Zabbix web interface. The volume must contains two files ``ssl.crt``, ``ssl.key`` and ``dhparam.pem`` prepared for Nginx SSL connections.
|
|
|
|
Please follow official Nginx [documentation](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html) to get more details about how to create certificate files.

# The image variants
|
|
|
|
The `zabbix-web-nginx-mysql` images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
|
|
|
|
## `zabbix-web-nginx-mysql:ubuntu-<version>`
|
|
|
|
This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.
|
|
|
|
## `zabbix-web-nginx-mysql:alpine-<version>`
|
|
|
|
This image is based on the popular [Alpine Linux project](http://alpinelinux.org), available in [the `alpine` official image](https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine). Alpine Linux is much smaller than most distribution base images (~5MB), and thus leads to much slimmer images in general.
|
|
|
|
This variant is highly recommended when final image size being as small as possible is desired. The main caveat to note is that it does use [musl libc](http://www.musl-libc.org) instead of [glibc and friends](http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html), so certain software might run into issues depending on the depth of their libc requirements. However, most software doesn't have an issue with this, so this variant is usually a very safe choice. See [this Hacker News comment thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10782897) for more discussion of the issues that might arise and some pro/con comparisons of using Alpine-based images.
|
|
|
|
To minimize image size, it's uncommon for additional related tools (such as `git` or `bash`) to be included in Alpine-based images. Using this image as a base, add the things you need in your own Dockerfile (see the [`alpine` image description](https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine/) for examples of how to install packages if you are unfamiliar).
|
|
|
|
# Supported Docker versions
|
|
|
|
This image is officially supported on Docker version 1.12.0.
|
|
|
|
Support for older versions (down to 1.6) is provided on a best-effort basis.
|
|
|
|
Please see [the Docker installation documentation](https://docs.docker.com/installation/) for details on how to upgrade your Docker daemon.
