Add Reporting to Zabbix Appliance

ReportingToZabbixAppliance

2/11/2023 - wcbutler - If you want scheduled reports emailed to you from Zabbix 6.2, I found the functionality is not baked into the appliance. You have to install the web service and Chrome. This could easily be changed to accomplish this in a Debian environment but these are the steps that work for their current appliance.

Install Zabbix Appliance (I copied over VMDK to my ESXI server, at the time of posting this its 6.2)
From the web UI:
  Set Frontend URL in the UI under Administration--> General--> Other
  Setup email functionality - Administration--> Media Types (I edited both Email and Email HTML and used a Gmail App password)
  Make sure the user your using has media assigned to them, go under Administration--> Users and select your user, like Admin, and under the Media tab set up email with a set-up address.
  Setup a scheduled report under Reports --> Scheduled reports (setup report to a user via email but no need to test yet)
Login to the appliance on console to do the following steps:
Edit zabbix_server.conf:
  StartReportWriters=1
  WebServiceURL=http://localhost:10053/report
sudo yum install zabbix-web-service
sudo yum install wget
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install ./google-chrome-stable_current_*.rpm
sudo systemctl restart zabbix-server zabbix-agent zabbix-web-service php-fpm nginx

You can now go to your setup scheduled report in the UI and hit test. Hopefully you got a confirmation that it is working.
