Zabbix is an enterprise-class open source network monitoring solution.

The Zabbix app announcement

Zabbix is a community application from the mrmarkuz repository. Documentation and source can be found on Github

This is only possible before the web UI configuration of Zabbix.

Force a backup on NS7 by running /etc/e-smith/events/actions/nethserver-zabbix-backup Copy /var/lib/nethserver/zabbix/backup/zabbix.sql from NS7 to the /root on NS8

Login to NS8 as root and run following commands. Define your zabbix instance in the first command, in this example it's zabbix1.

export instance=zabbix1 # Define the Zabbix instance name you want to import
sed -i -e 's/OWNER TO zabbix/OWNER TO postgres/g' zabbix.sql # Change user zabbix to postgres for NS8
runagent -m $instance mkdir restore # Create restore directory
cp zabbix.sql /home/$instance/.config/state/restore/ # Copy zabbix.sql to the created restore directory
chown $instance:$instance /home/$instance/.config/state/restore/zabbix.sql # Set right owner for zabbix.sql
runagent -m $instance # Go into the instance environment
# Run podman to import the DB
podman run \
    --cgroups=no-conmon \
    --replace -d --name postgresql-app \
    --volume postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data:Z \
    --volume ./restore/:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/:Z \
    --env POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
    --env POSTGRES_PASSWORD=Nethesis,1234 \
    --env POSTGRES_DB=zabbix \
    --env TZ=UTC \
    ${POSTGRES_IMAGE}

Check logs if import is finished, following entry shows the end of the import:

LOG: received fast shutdown request

Execute following commands to tidy up:

podman stop postgresql-app # stop container
rm restore/zabbix.sql # remove zabbix.sql
exit # Exit zabbix environment

Now you can go on to module configuration in the web UI…
