Zabbix Monitoring for your AVM Fritz!Box Devices

Requirements and successfully tested

• Zabbix Server Version: 7
• Zabbix Sender Version: 6.4.7

This template is in development with Zabbix Server version 7. To get it working under Zabbix Server Version 6 just change the version key at the beginning. However they may not work properly.

Setup

1. Create a user for monitoring (with settings permissions) in your FritzBox
2. Copy the content from the docker-compose.yml file to your local `docker-compose.yaml`` file and fillout the environment variables. You can leave some blank to use defaults (see below).
3. Download the Zabbix template file from template_fritz.box.xml and import it to your Zabbix Monitoring system (if you update, delete the old tempalte first)
4. Create a host in zabbix with the same hostname from docker-compose.yml (FRITZBOX_HOSTNAME)
5. Start your docker-compose file with docker-compose up -d
6. You can check the container with docker-compose logs into the same directory

• This error can be solved by removing the " chars in your environment section from docker-compose.yml

Values are 0 in my Zabbix Server Host

• This error may comes up when you are using your AVM Device for a internal switch / access point instead for an normal internet router. I'm working on it to investigate this problem or create a fix.
