Podman

Socket permissions for Zabbix

To monitor Podman with Zabbix it's necessary to edit the socket permissions.

Add podman.socket override (systemctl edit podman.socket):

[Socket]
SocketGroup=podman

(very important!) Set an override for tmpfiles:

cat <<EOF | tee /etc/tmpfiles.d/podman.conf
D! /run/podman 0750 root podman

EOF

Enable socket with systemctl enable --now podman.socket.

Edit the Zabbix Agent2 Docker plugin configuration to use the podman socket (also mitigatable by installing podman-docker):

Plugins.Docker.Endpoint=unix:///var/run/podman/podman.sock
