Steps:

1. Go to Monitoring -> Hosts -> Create host and complete the details. As host, we can choose IP or DNS (we use both for convenience). The Host groups router was created previously in order to have all the routers together. Add Agent in Interfaces.

2. Then execute the following command:

   sed -i -E "s/^Server=127.0.0.1/Server=192.168.10.0\/24/" /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf
   

3. Finally, restart the server with:

   /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd restart
   

Add an Antenna to the Server

To add an Antenna to the server, we do the same but we add an SNMP instead of an Agent in Interfaces.

Add Servers that host Docker containers

Requisites:

• Install zabbix-agent2 (Download page)
• Download zabbix_get in the zabbix repository with apt install zabbix_get

TL;DR:

• Add Server conf in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.conf
• Check logs in tail -f /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.log
• Add the zabbix user to the docker group with gpasswd -a zabbix docker
• Test that docker information can be accessed through the Docker API with: zabbix_get -s 192.168.10.4 -k docker.info
