How do I configure zabbix to add containers dynamically and monitor them across servers that have agents?
Disclaimer: I'm the author of https://github.com/monitoringartist/Zabbix-Docker-Monitoring
Set up standard Zabbix-Docker-Monitoring on A and B.
Edit Docker template - filter discovered container as you need + remove any trigger prototypes.
Create new calculated items, which will aggregate each C related item from A and B into new C calculated items (you can create C "metahost" in the Zabbix) - set up new triggers on top of these new C metrics.
Update:
Use calculated items for aggregation - for example aggregate sum(docker.up[cid])
from A and B - then trigger condition for "Container cid is not running" will be sum(docker.up[cid])<1
. Pls read Zabbix doc for correct syntax.
LLD discovers where is your container running atm and it will update items/triggers accordingly. If you want to eliminate any false alerts, don't forget to tune timings of LLD/triggers.
