## What it is
A Zabbix C agent module and Docker image with Zabbix templates for monitoring Docker, Kubernetes, Mesos/Marathon/Chronos, LXC/LXD, and Swarm containers. It collects CPU, memory, blkio, and network metrics plus container configuration details with better performance than UserParameter scripts.

## Use cases
- monitor docker containers with zabbix
- collect container cpu and memory metrics in zabbix
- monitor kubernetes pods via zabbix agent
- track container network and blkio stats
- monitor lxc containers with zabbix
- replace slow zabbix userparameter scripts for docker metrics

## When to choose
- you already run Zabbix and need container metrics
- you want a high-performance native agent module instead of script-based checks
- you need monitoring for Docker, LXC, or Swarm from a single tool

## When to avoid
- you use Prometheus or another monitoring stack instead of Zabbix
- you need actively developed features - the last release was 2022
- you need Windows container monitoring

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: zabbix, zabbix-module, docker-monitoring, kubernetes, lxc, container-metrics, c-module, containers, devops, linux, docker
