Zabbix Scheduled Reports

[brhunt]

It's hard to believe that after all of the years and versions of Zabbix that a function like Scheduled Reports is still considered "experimental" and takes so much effort to setup.

In any case...

Zabbix 6.4.5
Ubuntu 22.04
Zabbix Web Service and Google Chrome installed per instructions
Manually created /var/lib/zabbix and set permissions

Now getting an error trying to run Test on scheduled report: Cannot fetch data: chrome failed to start: /system.slice/zabbix-web-service.service is not a snap cgroup

I have looked a several posts on this error and have not found anything that fixes this issue.

Can anyone help me get past this issue?

Thanks.

Hi Bryan.

Zabbix 6.4.8 here on Ubuntu 22.04 using chromium rather than google-chrome.

After creating /var/lib/zabbix
I also created /home/zabbix and mounted /var/lib/zabbix there with 'mount --bind /var/lib/zabbix /home/zabbix'
I then edited /etc/passwd to make sure the zabbix user home pointed to /home/zabbix

I also had to turn off snap unified_group_hierarchy by editing the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT value in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"
followed by 'update-grub' to commit it and then rebooted.

Once I had zabbix_server.conf and zabbix_web_service.conf configured correctly, scheduled reporting is running properly.
