ZABBIX_WEB_SERVICE(8)

💖 ZABBIX_WEB_SERVICE 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for zabbix_web_service — it lives in the System Manager's Manual section 8, which is the "big girl sysadmin commands" section, and it's literally the little guy that hands out web services to your Zabbix components. she's a supporting character but she's doing the most, fr fr. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

zabbix_web_service — Zabbix web service. that's it, that's the name, short and iconic 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's how you actually call her, bestie:

zabbix_web_service [-c config-file]
zabbix_web_service [-c config-file] -T
zabbix_web_service -h
zabbix_web_service -V

no cap, that's the whole vibe. four ways in. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so <pink>zabbix_web_service</pink> is an application for providing web services to Zabbix components. that's her whole job description. she shows up, she serves the web, the other Zabbix kids (agentd, proxy, server, the whole friend group) get what they need. main character energy in a quiet way, honestly. ✨

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

every single flag, no gatekeeping:

• -c, --config config-file — use the alternate config-file instead of the default one. like bringing your own snack to the function instead of eating what's there 🍓
• -T, --test-config — validate the configuration file and exit. she checks her outfit in the mirror and then dips. no service started, just a vibe check ✅
• -h, --help — display this help and exit. the classic "wait what do I do" button, she will never judge you 😭
• -V, --version — output version information and exit. who are you, really? she'll tell you her number and leave 💜

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• /usr/local/etc/zabbix_web_service.conf — default location of the Zabbix web service configuration file (if not modified during compile time). so like, this is where she looks first, unless somebody recompiled her with a different home address 🏠✨

heads up bestie: that path is the default only if it wasn't changed at compile time. so don't come for her if your build moved it. 🙈
