Installation

Source on GitHub: https://github.com/xenadmin/zabbix-frontend-modules

• 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!
