Zabbix agent is not available

[IAmNik]

Dear all

I've installed Zabbix server with PostgreSQL database on docker & Zabbix with Nginx on docker

but I get warning message "Zabbix agent is not available (for 3m)" and I still do not understand where to install Zabbix agent.

Please give me advice.

I don't know what kind of environment and where you are using which version of the container. If the Zabbix agent is not running in a container that is already running, you will need to start the Zabbix agent container separately.

On your zabbix server machine you have also a zabbix agent for self monitoring. Check if this agent is started. In Centos/Redhat 7 the command is: systemctl status zabbix-agent

The zabbix agent can be installed on hosts that you want to monitor, even if this host is the same where the zabbix server is installed.

There is no need to install the agent on the server host to monitor Zabbix server per se.

Hi !
I am in the same case after installing the 4 Docker containers (postgresql + Zabbix snmptraps + Zabbix-server + Zabbix-web-nginx) as in example n°2: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...iners#examples
As indicated in the comments, I suppose that the Zabbix agent is integrated into the server to self-monitor. Does the error "Zabbix agent is not available" target this agent??? I don't understand...
If it must be installed, in this case should it be installed on the Debian host, in the Zabbix server container or in another container?

Thank you

Hello,
I have the same problem with the command "docker compose -f ./docker-compose_v3_alpine_pgsql_latest.yaml up -d" provided on the official github
root@debian:/home/zabbix# docker compose -f ./docker-compose_v3_alpine_pgsql_latest.yaml up -d
[+] Running 4/4
✔ Container zabbix-postgres-server-1 Started0.6s
✔ Container zabbix-db-data-pgsql-1 Started0.6s
✔ Container zabbix-zabbix-server-1 Started1.8s
✔ Container zabbix-zabbix-web-nginx-pgsql-1 Started1.7s

"systemctl status zabbix-agent" is not possible in docker, so how to check the agent status?

Add a zabbix agent container and link it to your zabbix server container: https://hub.docker.com/r/zabbix/zabbix-agent2
