Is there any special configuration on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS?

check second post in the thread - you need to start report writer process that will automatically start report manager process

Hello,
Here is official tutorial available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcqMqBphuu4

I have configured this. Working fine. Below you can find steps to follow for installation.

System: Ubuntu 18
commands for Debian/Ubuntu:


At my installation using google-chrome-stable package caused generating white empty PDF reports. Switching to chromium fixed issue.

you can uninstall google chrome by issuing

 apt-get remove google-chrome-stable

1. Install Chromium , Reporting uses chromium engine for generating PDF.

apt install chromium-browser

2. Install Zabbix-Web Service

commands for Debian/Ubuntu:

apt install zabbix-web-service

enable zabbix-web-service service.

systemctl enable zabbix-web-service

systemctl start zabbix-web-service

3. Modify "zabbix_server.conf" file

add lines:

StartReportWriters=1
WebServiceURL=http://localhost:10053/report

match WebServiceURL with "zabbix_web_service.conf" settings

Restart zabbix-server

service zabbix-server restart

4. Setup Frontend URl Parameter in Zabbix GUI

Administration/General/Others

working format "http://zabbix.your.domain"

5. Setup Example Report

Hello,

I have a blank PDF when I generate a report
I have Ubuntu 20.04 Zabbix 5.4.1 and using Chrome
Also, when I do : curl http://172.18.1.10:10053/report
I have : {"detail":"Method is not supported."}
I wonder if it's related or not
Does anyone know how to fix or some research I could go on ?
Thanks in advance.

These scheduled reports are quite nice indeed.

But my current server does not have a OS UI, much less Google Chrome. It is mainly headless. I only use it through cmd line.

So, I wonder how can I install Google Chrome Browser without loading a full UI.

[Atsushi]

I also have a headless server, but I downloaded the package from the following URL on my Windows machine, uploaded the package file to the server, and installed Chrome from the command line.

https://www.google.com/chrome/?platform=linux

I could try to install Chromium, but my setup has no UI. So, if I try to install the package, it asks me to install lots of libs and UI elements, which is not desired right now.

I got this to work on ubuntu 20.04 with the following checked:
- use chromium - not from snap. I added it with ungoogled-chromium - search for the steps
- configure ListenPort=10053 in zabbix_web_service.com
- in zabbix_server.conf add WebServiceURL=http://localhost:10053/report and StartReportWriters=3
- restart zabbix server and zabbix web service

With this done I'm not getting anymore the 1kb empty pdf files.

[arapacana]

This worked for me. Thank you.
FYI on installing ungoogled-chromium on Ubuntu 20.04: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1298...n-ubuntu-20-04

[ouque3]

I'm get the 1kb empty pdf files, delete chrome stable and install chromium. I don’t know whether it helped or not. And i noticed strange messages after reinstall in the logs:

zabbix_web_service[13135]: 2021/07/15 14:59:09 ERROR: could not unmarshal event: unknown PrivateNetworkRequestPolicy value
zabbix_web_service[13135]: 2021/07/15 14:59:09 ERROR: could not unmarshal event: unknown PrivateNetworkRequestPolicy value


Does anyone know what the problem might be?

[ouque3]

stable 1 of 4 reports comes 1kb empty PDF. I update zabbix-web-service/unknown 1:5.4.3-1+ubuntu18.04 amd64 [upgradable from: 1:5.4.2-1+ubuntu18.04]. hope this helps

[Sebastian]

Hello ouque3 , I confirm my installation is working the same as yours.

[rafkol65]

My pdfs contain the message: Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at 192.168.20.12 Port 80
What am I doing wrong?

Here is another video tutorial: https://youtu.be/NaxBiPEqlbc
I think the only thing which is missing in this tutorial is to add the "FrontendURL" in Administration->General->other
Tested with Ubuntu 20.04.3 and zabbix 6.0.0alpha4

Yes I faced the similar issue, but by enabling the report writer process, it resolved.
