Getting started

Requirements

• A Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
• A Zabbix server running 6.0 through 7.x, reachable from your Mac.
• An API token, or a Zabbix username and password.

Install

1. Download the latest version.
2. Open the DMG and drag Zabbix Toolbar to Applications.
3. Open it from Applications. The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it without warnings.

A “Z” icon appears in the menu bar. There’s no Dock icon — the app lives in the menu bar.

Add your first server

1. Click the “Z” icon in the menu bar, then the gear → Settings…. Settings opens on Overview; with no servers yet, it walks you through adding the first one.
2. Enter a Name and the Frontend URL — the same address you open in the browser, for example https://zabbix.example.com/zabbix.
3. Under Authentication, pick a Method: API token or Username and password. To create a token, open User settings → API tokens → Create API token in the Zabbix frontend.
4. If your server uses a self-signed certificate, turn on Ignore TLS certificate validation. Use it only on trusted networks.
5. Click Test connection. It shows the Zabbix version and how many problems are active. Then click Save. Monitoring starts right away.

The first time a new problem shows up, macOS asks for permission to show notifications. Allow it to be notified.

Start at login

Turn on Settings → General → Startup → Open at login. The app must be in the Applications folder.

Language

The interface is in English, with Brazilian Portuguese available in Settings → General → Language. After changing it, click Restart now.

Next steps

• The problem list — reading the icon, compact and extended lists.
• Acknowledge and snooze — act on problems without opening Zabbix.
• Free and Pro — what each plan includes.
