I just installed Zabbix 5.4 and i want to test 'scheduled reports' but i keep getting:

Report manager is disabled.

Here's the interface: enter image description here

Since the feature is new i can't find a solution. so if someone is familiar please help me fix it and enable the report manager.

You need to enable report writer in server config. In /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf (assuming you are running Zabbix on a Linux machine) change the value of StartReportWriters to at least 1, then restart the server.

Edit

You also need to set WebServiceURL parameter in zabbix_server.conf. The URL should be in format <host>:<port>/report. Default port is 10053.

WebServiceURL=http://localhost:10053/report

/report path is mandatory and hardcoded, and so can not be changed.

Next, Frontend URL parameter must be set. Go to Administration → General → Other parameters, and specify the full URL of the Zabbix web interface in the Frontend URL parameter.

More detailed instructions can be found in official documentation.

  • Thank you it did work but now i get `The Frontend URL has not been configured` – nessHaf May 24 '21 at 14:48
  • I edited and expanded my answer. See if it helps. –  May 24 '21 at 15:05
  • But i've followed all the instruction and i got ` Cannot connect to web service: couldn't connect to server` – nessHaf May 24 '21 at 18:07
  • You probably don't have `zabbix-web-server` installed. It's available in Zabbix [repositories](https://repo.zabbix.com/). You also need to have Google Chrome browser installed. –  May 24 '21 at 19:06
  • Does it work with chromium ? i followed zabbix install ` apt install zabbix-server-pgsql zabbix-frontend-php php7.4-pgsql zabbix-nginx-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-agent ` i didn't find zabbix-web-server – nessHaf May 24 '21 at 20:01
  • I meant `zabbix-web-service`, sorry it's late over here. Install it with `apt install zabbix-web-service`. While it can work with chromium, there is a [known issue](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/installation/known_issues#chromium_for_zabbix_web_service_on_ubuntu_20) (bottom of the page) of it NOT working on Ubuntu 20.04. –  May 24 '21 at 20:21
  • Okay I will check the suggested solution and i will keep you updated. Thank you very much for your effort and support – nessHaf May 24 '21 at 20:23
  • it did work after creating manually by creating /var/lib/zabbix as shown bellow ` mkdir -p /var/lib/zabbix/ chown zabbix:zabbix /var/lib/zabbix/ chmod 755 /var/lib/zabbix/` but the repport i got is 404 error – nessHaf May 25 '21 at 08:10
