Hi, welcome to NETVN channel
Zabbix is a free and familiar network monitoring tool with full features
Like the previous videos, to use Zabbix we usually install it on a virtual machine or on a separate linux machine
But with how to install Zabbix on Docker,
you will be able to use this network monitoring tool right on the Windows operating system and moreover it takes up very little of your computer resources
Let's get started
To install Zabbix on a Windows computer we need to install Windows Subsystem for Linux, Docker
and finally Zabbix
After installing WSL you'll be asked to restart your computer
So your computer has met the necessary requirements to install Docker desktop
Next, go to Docker's homepage and download the installation file for Windows operating system
You open the installation file and perform a few more mouse clicks to complete the installation of Docker Desktop
To ensure a successful Docker Desktop installation, your computer also needs to have virtualization enabled
Most computers at the moment support virtualization
If your computer does not have virtualization enabled,
see the instructions on the homepage of the computer manufacturer you are using to know how to enable it
So, after about 5 minutes of installation, I finished installing Docker Desktop for my Windows computer
I will temporarily close the Docker Desktop window to move on to the next step of installing Zabbix
Instructions for installing Zabbix on Docker can be easily found on the Zabbix homepage
You visit the Zabbix homepage and navigate to the Zabbix Containers section, then read the installation instructions
If you want to learn more, you can read the entire document
In addition, here also provide you with 3 specific examples
In this video I will guide you to install Zabbix on Docker using the 2nd example
To install Zabbix you do 5 steps and create 4 containers
Your first step is to create a private network for Zabbix
This network is called zabbix net,
it is used to link the containers of the components that can be linked together to create the final Zabbix application
Next you create the first container which is the database container
You can customize the database name, username and password if you want
To make it easy for you to follow, I will not change the default information
After creating a container, use the docker ps command to check the results
If you receive an up message, it means you have successfully created it
The next container is created to collect and measure information from the monitored devices to the zabbix monitoring system
To collect information from monitored devices you need the permission of the firewall
Next you create a third container which is the zabbix server container
The zabbix server container will connect to the first created database container
If you changed the information when you created the database container, then when you created the zabbix server container you need to update it accordingly
And finally the final container, which will provide a web interface for you to get the information collected during tracking
This container will need the database information and the zabbix server container information
You notice the letters highlighted in red are the information to link with the previously created containers
If you just want to do a simple installation like I am doing then you don't need to change anything
and just copy as instructed and you have already installed Zabbix on Docker
You open any browser and access the Zabbix monitoring system with the ip address you just found
Default username is Admin and default password is zabbix
Next I will add two devices to be monitored to the Zabbix system
Two monitoring devices including a Windows computer and a router
Both devices have SNMP enabled
So I have finished installing Zabbix on Docker Desktop
