Zabbix Container Redeploy

[aloghides]

Hi All,

I am running Zabbix 3.4.4 in docker containers using these images:


zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-mysql:latest
zabbix/zabbix-server-mysql:latest
zabbix/zabbix-java-gateway:latest
mysql:5.7


Apparently there is a timing bug in the alpine linux image used for the zabbix-server-mysql:latest image that is causing web response time monitors to show hours instead of milliseconds.

I'd like to switch to the zabbix server image build on ubuntu instead to resolve that issue. Can I simply remove the old alpine based container and drop the ubuntu container in it's place without loosing any settings, template, and configuration? Would this cause other issues I should be aware of?

I went ahead and started up the ubuntu based container - and also linked and redeployed the nginx container. Seems to be working fine and kept all settings and configurations.

The only thing I really had to do was docker cp all of the MIB files back to the container for some of my SNMP items to function again.

This resolved the timing issues seen in web monitoring.


Bottom Line: Looks like you can change out the server container at anytime as the settings, templates, and objects in are all part of the database.
