Step 8 – logging in

Immediately after clicking on Finish, you should see a login form:

The Zabbix database data that we inserted previously also supplied the default username and password. The default credentials are as follows:

Username: Admin
Password: zabbix

That should get you to the initial frontend screen, which drops you into a quite empty dashboard:

Congratulations! The web frontend is now set up and we have logged in.

It is possible to easily change the Zabbix frontend configuration later. The zabbix.conf.php configuration file can be edited to change database access details, the Zabbix server host and port, and the server name that we entered in the fourth step as well. Most of the parameters in that file should be self-explanatory; for example, $ZBX_SERVER_NAME will change the server name.

If you take a closer look at the upper-right corner, you'll spot something familiar: it's the server name we entered earlier in the configuration wizard. This makes it easier to distinguish this installation from other Zabbix instances; for example, if you had a testing and a production instance. Additionally, this name is also used in the page title, and hence in the tab title in most modern browsers. When multiple tabs are open, you should be able to see the instance name right there in the tab. There's no need to click on each tab individually and check the URL or upper-right corner of the Zabbix frontend:

The dashboard isn't too exciting right now, except maybe for that table labeled System information. The same view is also available somewhere else, though—click on Reports and then click on System information, the very first report:

Now we can concentrate on this widget. The frontend successfully sees that the Zabbix server is running and displays the host and port to which it is trying to connect. It also knows some basic things about Zabbix's configuration—there are 76 hosts configured in total. Wait, what's that? We have only set it up and have not configured anything; how can there be 76 hosts already? Let's take a closer look at the DETAILS column. These values correspond to the descriptions in parentheses located in the PARAMETER column. So, there are 0 monitored hosts, 1 that is not monitored, and 75 templates. Now that makes more sense—75 of those 76 are templates, not actual hosts. Still, there's one host that isn't monitored, what's up with that?

Click on Configuration and choose Hosts. You should see the following screenshot:

The first thing to do here is click on that Filter button at the right side of the page. In the older versions of Zabbix, it was a huge button. As you can see, all filters are open by default; we will discuss and use filters later. For now, whenever you see a filter preceding the information we came for, just close it.

So, there it is. It turns out that the default Zabbix database already has one server configured—the local Zabbix server. It is disabled by default, as indicated in the System information screen and here by the Disabled string in the Status column.

There's a lot of technical details in the Zabbix online manual at https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/4.0/.
