Zabbix Frontend Modules

Introduction

Leveraging the new feature of Zabbix 5.0 LTS, these Frontend Modules can extend the Zabbix Sidebar menu.

You can read more about this new feature in the official Zabbix documentation: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/modules

The modules in this repository were tested on Zabbix 5.0.2+ on Debian 10 Buster.

Installation

  • Go to your Zabbix Frontend installation module folder
    • (Default path: /usr/share/zabbix/modules)
  • You may then git clone https://github.com/xenadmin/zabbix-frontend-modules.git the repository
    • Or download the desired module manually into the modules directory
  • Sometimes it's necessary to change the owner of the directory to your web user
    • For example: chown -R www-data
  • Go to your Zabbix Frontend: Administration -> General -> Modules
  • Press the Scan directory button in the top right corner
  • Enable the desired module(s)
  • Watch how the menu gets extended with new entries

Troubleshooting

If your Zabbix Frontend remains empty and malfunctioning after the activation of a Zabbix Frontend module, don't panic!

First of all, go to the offical Zabbix module documentation and check the Troubleshooting section: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/modules

Most of the time, the fastest solution is to just remove the module directory from your Zabbix Frontend installation (For example: rm /usr/share/zabbix/modules/add-web-in-monitoring-menu). Then just reload you browser and Zabbix Frontend should load as expected.

Notes

This modules wouldn't be possible without the help of Mickael Martin (Source 1 & Source 2) , who created the very first modules (check them out!) and Zabbix developer Valdis Murzins who helped with further modules during the discussion of ZBXNEXT-6105. They were my inspiration to create this repository. Thank you!
