# What is Zabbix?
Zabbix is an enterprise-class open source distributed monitoring solution.
Zabbix is software that monitors numerous parameters of a network and the health and integrity of servers. Zabbix uses a flexible notification mechanism that allows users to configure e-mail based alerts for virtually any event. This allows a fast reaction to server problems. Zabbix offers excellent reporting and data visualisation features based on the stored data. This makes Zabbix ideal for capacity planning.
For more information and related downloads for Zabbix components, please visit https://hub.docker.com/u/zabbix/ and https://zabbix.com
# What is Zabbix proxy?
Zabbix proxy is a process that may collect monitoring data from one or more monitored devices and send the information to the Zabbix server, essentially working on behalf of the server. All collected data is buffered locally and then transferred to the Zabbix server the proxy belongs to.
# Zabbix proxy images
These are the only official Zabbix proxy Docker images. They are based on Alpine Linux v3.11, Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) and CentOS 7 images. The available versions of Zabbix proxy are:
Zabbix proxy 3.0 (tags: alpine-3.0-latest, ubuntu-3.0-latest, centos-3.0-latest)
Zabbix proxy 3.0.* (tags: alpine-3.0.*, ubuntu-3.0.*, centos-3.0.*)
Zabbix proxy 3.2 (tags: alpine-3.2-latest, ubuntu-3.2-latest, centos-3.2.*) (unsupported)
Zabbix proxy 3.2.* (tags: alpine-3.2.*, ubuntu-3.2.*, centos-3.2.*) (unsupported)
Zabbix proxy 3.4 (tags: alpine-3.4-latest, ubuntu-3.4-latest, centos-3.4.*) (unsupported)
Zabbix proxy 3.4.* (tags: alpine-3.4.*, ubuntu-3.4.*, centos-3.4.*) (unsupported)

Zabbix proxy 5.2 (tags: alpine-trunk, ubuntu-trunk, centos-trunk)
Images are updated when new releases are published. The image with ``latest`` tag is based on Alpine Linux.
The image uses SQLite3 database to store collected data before sending it to Zabbix server.
# How to use this image
## Start `zabbix-proxy-sqlite3`
Start a Zabbix proxy container as follows:
docker run --name some-zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 -e ZBX_HOSTNAME=some-hostname -e ZBX_SERVER_HOST=some-zabbix-server -d zabbix/zabbix-proxy-sqlite3:tag
Where `some-zabbix-proxy-sqlite3` is the name you want to assign to your container, `some-hostname` is the hostname, it is Hostname parameter in Zabbix proxy configuration file, `some-zabbix-server` is IP or DNS name of Zabbix server and `tag` is the tag specifying the version you want. See the list above for relevant tags, or look at the [full list of tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/zabbix/zabbix-proxy-sqlite3/tags/).
## Connects from Zabbix server (Passive proxy)
This image exposes the standard Zabbix proxy port (10051) and can operate as Passive proxy in case `ZBX_PROXYMODE` = `1`. Start Zabbix server container like this in order to link it to the Zabbix proxy container:
```console
$ docker run --name some-zabbix-server --link some-zabbix-proxy-sqlite3:zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 -d zabbix/zabbix-server:latest
```
## Connect to Zabbix server (Active proxy)
This image can operate as Active proxy (`default` mode). Start your application container like this in order to link Zabbix proxy to Zabbix server containters:
```console
$ docker run --name some-zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 --link some-zabbix-server:zabbix-server -d zabbix/zabbix-proxy-sqlite3:latest
```
## Container shell access and viewing Zabbix proxy logs
The `docker exec` command allows you to run commands inside a Docker container. The following command line will give you a bash shell inside your `zabbix-proxy-sqlite3` container:
```console
$ docker exec -ti some-zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 /bin/bash
```
The Zabbix proxy log is available through Docker's container log:
```console
$ docker logs some-zabbix-proxy-sqlite3
```
## Environment Variables
When you start the `zabbix-proxy-sqlite3` image, you can adjust the configuration of the Zabbix proxy by passing one or more environment variables on the `docker run` command line.
### `ZBX_PROXYMODE`
The variable allows to switch Zabbix proxy mode. Bu default, value is `0` - active proxy. Allowed values are `0` - active proxy and `1` - passive proxy.
### `ZBX_HOSTNAME`
This variable is unique, case sensitive hostname. By default, value is `zabbix-proxy-sqlite3` of the container. It is ``Hostname`` parameter in ``zabbix_proxy.conf``.
### `ZBX_SERVER_HOST`
This variable is IP or DNS name of Zabbix server or Zabbix proxy. By default, value is `zabbix-server`. It is ``Server`` parameter in ``zabbix_proxy.conf``. It is allowed to specify Zabbix server or Zabbix proxy port number using ``ZBX_SERVER_PORT`` variable. It make sense in case of non-default port for active checks.
### `ZBX_SERVER_PORT`
This variable is port Zabbix server listening on. By default, value is `10051`.
### `ZBX_LOADMODULE`
The variable is list of comma separated loadable Zabbix modules. It works with volume ``/var/lib/zabbix/modules``. The syntax of the variable is ``dummy1.so,dummy2.so``.
### `ZBX_DEBUGLEVEL`
The variable is used to specify debug level. By default, value is ``3``. It is ``DebugLevel`` parameter in ``zabbix_server.conf``. Allowed values are listed below:
- ``0`` - basic information about starting and stopping of Zabbix processes;
- ``1`` - critical information
- ``2`` - error information
- ``3`` - warnings
- ``4`` - for debugging (produces lots of information)
- ``5`` - extended debugging (produces even more information)
### `ZBX_TIMEOUT`
The variable is used to specify timeout for processing checks. By default, value is ``4``.
### `ZBX_JAVAGATEWAY_ENABLE`

# The image variants
The `zabbix-proxy-sqlite3` images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
## `zabbix-proxy-sqlite3:ubuntu-<version>`
This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.
## `zabbix-proxy-sqlite3:alpine-<version>`
This image is based on the popular [Alpine Linux project](http://alpinelinux.org), available in [the `alpine` official image](https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine). Alpine Linux is much smaller than most distribution base images (~5MB), and thus leads to much slimmer images in general.
This variant is highly recommended when final image size being as small as possible is desired. The main caveat to note is that it does use [musl libc](http://www.musl-libc.org) instead of [glibc and friends](http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html), so certain software might run into issues depending on the depth of their libc requirements. However, most software doesn't have an issue with this, so this variant is usually a very safe choice. See [this Hacker News comment thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10782897) for more discussion of the issues that might arise and some pro/con comparisons of using Alpine-based images.
To minimize image size, it's uncommon for additional related tools (such as `git` or `bash`) to be included in Alpine-based images. Using this image as a base, add the things you need in your own Dockerfile (see the [`alpine` image description](https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine/) for examples of how to install packages if you are unfamiliar).
# Supported Docker versions
This image is officially supported on Docker version 1.12.0.
Support for older versions (down to 1.6) is provided on a best-effort basis.
Please see [the Docker installation documentation](https://docs.docker.com/installation/) for details on how to upgrade your Docker daemon.
