Great video effectively. One point I missed, maybe because running debian. The need to add the zabbix user to the docker group via sudo usermod -aG docker zabbix. I wonder if you could also make a video related to the install of the zabbix agent within docker to monitor the docker environment (would be handy for my synology environment)

Hello Dmitry Lambert,
You can make a video tutorial to monitor Asterisk using Zabbix, I'm learning about it, but it's pretty vague.

Hello, have you done the video with docker monitoring, with agent2 installed in docker?

[HAL_-sgup]

Hi Dmitry could the agent work with podman?

[CaptainGus]

Hello, How the trigger will look like when the container status changes and it is restarted?

Does anyone have an idea on how to install the Zabbix Agent on Photon OS 4 rev2? I'm getting missing libs that I cannot figure out (yum install

Thank you for your time.

Hello! Awesome video, man!!

Let me make a question...

In my scenario, we don't got it works using default port in zabbix agent 10050. For any reason, after this activate, my host docker is become down. Can i activate zabbix agent with another tcp port? Thanks a lot.

Hello Brother. I want to add some odd 1000 routers and Switches from Cisco with snmpV3 configuration done. How can I automate this addition in zabbix. Manual addition is very time consuming. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried configuring zabbix agent to monitor the docker host containing the zabbix server docker container?

[team-offtuto]

Thanks for your video!
But how did you find the plugin?
Because I don't have anything in the : /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.d
