Setting up scheduled PDF reports
This much-wanted feature was added in Zabbix 5.4 and is now finally available in an LTS release starting from Zabbix 6.0: sending automatic PDF reports through email. Now, let me start off by stating that this implementation might not fully cover every Zabbix user's situation yet. What this feature does is basically take a screenshot of any Zabbix dashboard and send it through email. It's the first setup from the Zabbix developers and I think we should really appreciate it for what it is.
On top of that, it is a very flexible way of implementing this, as we can choose any kind of widget with filters to send in an automatic report. On top of that it gives the Zabbix development team the flexibility to add new widgets on the fly, which immediately work with your PDF reports.
Getting ready
We will need an existing Zabbix installation with access to the frontend and the CLI. We can use the server we have been using throughout this book...
