# Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
To add new Zabbix data source open _Data Sources_ in side panel, click _Add new_ and select Zabbix
|
||||
from dropdown list.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Then configure a data source
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Http settings
|
||||
|
||||
- **Url**: set Zabbix API url (full path with `api_jsonrpc.php`).
|
||||
- **Access**: can be either _proxy_ or _direct_.
|
||||
- **Http Auth**: configure if you use proxy authentication.
|
||||
- **Basic Auth**:
|
||||
- **With Credentials**:
|
||||
|
||||
### Zabbiz API details
|
||||
|
||||
- **User** and **Password**: setup login for access to Zabbix API. Also check user's permissions
|
||||
in Zabbix if you can't get any groups and hosts in Grafana.
|
||||
- **Trends**: enable if you use patch for trends
|
||||
support in Zabbix 2.x ([ZBXNEXT-1193](https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-1193)). This is
|
||||
strictly recommended for displaying long time periods (more than few days, depending of your item's
|
||||
updating interval in Zabbix) because few days of item history contains tons of points. Using trends
|
||||
can increase Grafana performance.
|
||||
- **Use trends from**: time after which trends will be used. Default is **7d** (7 days).
|
||||
You can set the time in Grafana format. Valid time specificators are:
|
||||
- **h** - hours
|
||||
- **d** - days
|
||||
- **M** - months
|
||||
- **Metrics limit**: maximum items number which can be returned by one request. Helps to prevent
|
||||
Grafana slowdown due wrong request.
|
||||
|
||||
Then click _Add_ - datasource will be added and you can check connection using _Test Connection_ button.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This feature can help to find some mistakes like invalid user name or password, wrong api url.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Note about Zabbix 2.2 or less
|
||||
Zabbix API (api_jsonrpc.php) before zabbix 2.4 don't allow cross-domain requests (CORS). And you
|
||||
can get HTTP error 412 (Precondition Failed).
|
||||
To fix it add this code to api_jsonrpc.php immediately after the copyright:
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
|
||||
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type');
|
||||
header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST');
|
||||
header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 1000');
|
||||
|
||||
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'OPTIONS') {
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
before
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/include/func.inc.php';
|
||||
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/include/classes/core/CHttpRequest.php';
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Note about Browser Cache
|
||||

||||
