Scheduled Reports 5.4

[joanaribeiro_erre]

Hi guys, has anyone tried the new Scheduled Reports functionality?

I tried to test it and got a:

Report generating test failed.

• Report manager is disabled.

Anyone know what this is?

[gofree]

you need to start report writer process that will automatically start report manager process

I'm sorry if i'm being a nuissance but now i'm getting the following error:

Report generating test failed.
The Frontend URL has not been configured

I also added this parameter to the zabbix_server.conf, which was the other only one that i found on the .conf new items in the link that you sent

### Option: WebServiceURL
# HTTP[S] URL to Zabbix web service in the format <hostort>/report.
# For example: http://localhost:10053/report
# This parameter is supported since Zabbix 5.4.0.
#
WebServiceURL=http://localhost:10055/reports



Am i still missing something??

Need to add url of your frontend in zabbix GUI.
I guess it's section administration > general. Or somewhere there

[joanaribeiro_erre]

I have it the macros section and still nothing..

{$ZABBIX.URL} -> http://ZABBIX_IP/

[gofree]

my memory failed me - its administration - general - other

At the end of the day don't forget to install google chrome on the host where zabbix web service is running. Maybe chromium will work to. It's in the docu also with one error that might emerge and how to solve it.

[joanaribeiro_erre]

Thanks! And yeah just figured i also need zabbix web service installed!

gonna have fun with this tomorrow

Hi, I did everything as written here, but I get: Cannot connect to web service: couldn't connect to server

You need install zabbix-web-service-5.4.0-0.8rc2.el8.x86_64 and config on official manual

next configure service

systemctl enable zabbix-web-service
systemctl start zabbix-web-service

[orbital]

[root@appliance zabbix]# systemctl enable zabbix-web-service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/zabbix-web-service.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/zabbix-web-service.service.
[root@appliance zabbix]# systemctl start zabbix-web-service

zabbix-web-service not working

[joanaribeiro_erre]

finally, an easy way!

now i'm getting this:

Cannot connect to web service: unsupported protocol

[orbital]

solved, thanks

[macdvd]

Note sure if you sorted this.... beu this fixed it for me ... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...4-error-in-pdf

Hello, I managed to make the report schedule working, however the PDF is completely empty. I am pretty sure I am taking a template with information in it. Could anyone help me out ?
Weekly_rapport_2021-05-28_15-29.pdf this is the pdf I am getting
Thanks

[rcardoza182]

i have the same issue, did you solve it?

[ElemondCraw]

Unfortunately not yet, I am still looking for a fix.

[salai]

Have you had luck mate? I am with the same issue as well. another thing that i noted was the extra logging option not working either...DebugLevel=4. This is the web service configuration parameter.

We are trying to get this running with docker alpine images.
(I think the Problem there is that chrome/ium is not included.)
Edit: Seems to be included: https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix-doc...Dockerfile#L27


Has anyone got this running with docker and some hints on this?

[gofree]

whats your error anyway ? ill recheck my configuration and try to run the thing without external chrome container

Edit: I guess indeed it works and no external container needed - I just simply overlooked and just received a report from it

gofree we see this in the logs:

As you can see, the generation takes very long (2 min). We see a turning wheel in the webinterface if we hit "test" even after the 2 min.
No error is thrown.

[gofree]

just thinking in a free minute - how big is the inteneded report and how long in the history are the values collected - I had to increase timeout paramter in some of my reports from this reason - I guess it takes time based on the data flow and performance


ZBX_TIMEOUT
The variable is used to specify timeout for processing requests. By default, value is 3

Im still say that reports are marked as experimanetal so we'll see final design in version 6

Hi Guys,

Same things we have tried out in our zabbix environment. But once all configuration completed, It giving below error, Anyone familiar for below error, Please guide us.


Cannot fetch data: exec: "google-chrome": executable file not found in $PATH.

you need to have google-chrome installed on the host where zabbix-web-services are running
