Step 3: Zabbix Web.
To monitor a remote host, you need to add it to the Zabbix server’s dashboard via a browser. Zabbix provides myriad templates for various services and applications. We will link the appropriate template to the Docker host to specifically monitor containers. But first, access the Zabbix server’s login page.
User: Admin
Pass: zabbix
Once you have logged in, navigate to the right sidebar and click on ‘Configuration’ then ‘Hosts’. and At the far top-right corner,
click on ‘Create host’.
Fill in the details of the Docker server such as the hostname name. For Groups, Type in ‘Connext’ (every host must be associated with a group).
Fill in the details of the Templates specify ‘Docker by Zabbix agent 2’ and ‘Linux by Zabbix agent’
Below the ‘Interfaces’ label click on ‘Add’ and in the menu that appears select ‘Agent’. Next, fill out the server’s private IP address from step 1. and ensure that the port is set to 10055.
Now head back to the Zabbix server dashboard. Click on ‘Monitoring’ then ‘Hosts’. Click on the name of your Docker server and in the menu option that appears, select ‘Dashboards’.
After a few minutes, the Zabbix server will detect the container and start populating some statistics.
You can also view the graphs of the various server metrics by clicking on the ‘Dashboard’ options of the ‘System performance’ page. Below you can see the CPU & Memory usage metrics.
Now head back to the Zabbix server dashboard. Click on ‘Monitoring’ then ‘Hosts’. Click on the name of your Docker server and in the menu option that appears, select ‘Latest data’.
