How to monitor MySQL by Zabbix (in docker containers)?

Question

I have:

1. Zabbix server (computer A)
2. Zabbix agent (computer B)
3. Mysql (computer B)

But all of this components work inside Docker containers. How could I monitor Mysql by Zabbix in this case?

I saw this page (https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/mysql). But i think, this won't work in my case.

You can definitely use "Template DB MySQL by Zabbix agent":

• if the Zabbix Agent is not dockerized:
  • and the MySQL port is published/mapped:
    • just follow the instructions.
  • else:
    • map the port, and follow instructions.
• else:
  • check that mysql client is present in the docker image, add it if missing
  • link that container to the MySQL container, and follow instructions.
