Zabbix Agent Docker Image

This is a million12/zabbix-agent docker image with Zabbix Agent. It's based on CentOS-7 official image.

The Zabbix agent has been patched to read system informations from these directories:

/data/proc mapped from /proc on the real host
/data/dev mapped from /dev on the real host
/data/sys mapped from /sys on the real host

Zabbix agent is running in foreground.

Build the image

docker build -t million12/zabbix-agent .

ENV variables

ZABBIX_SERVER - Zabbix Server address
HOSTNAME - hostname
HOST_METADATA - the metadata value shared by all servers on the same cluster. This value will match the autoregistration action
CONFIG_FILE - config file path. (Used if custom file and path needed)

docker run \
-d \
-p 10050:10050 \
