Overview
Zabbix 4.2 Server AMI - Production-Ready Monitoring with AWS SNS Integration
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for extended features and support.
Rebuilding a Zabbix 4.2 stack today means hunting down archived repositories for an end-of-life branch. This AMI eliminates that effort by shipping the complete server, frontend, database, and web server already wired, tested, and ready to monitor your first host in approximately 8 minutes.
Built and maintained by Imaxe.Cloud, a team that has been publishing production-ready AMIs on AWS Marketplace since 2019, serving approximately 1,000 customers across the catalog.
Who This AMI Is For
Small and mid-sized organizations (10-250 employees) and MSP/hosting providers running established Zabbix 4.2 deployments that cannot be upgraded on short notice - typically because monitoring templates, integrations, or compliance sign-off are tied to this branch. Common environments include managed services and hosting, SaaS and web operations, public-sector, education, and industrial/manufacturing settings where monitoring stacks are long-lived and change windows are rare.
What Is Included
- Zabbix 4.2 server and frontend from the official repository
- MariaDB database server with auto-generated credentials at first boot
- nginx web server with PHP-FPM, serving on ports 80 and 443
- Self-signed SSL certificate out of the box, with a bundled Let's Encrypt script for production TLS
- AWS SNS alert relay preconfigured for sending alerts by Zabbix severity
- EC2 auto-registration service so new agents appear automatically
- Preconfigured templates: AWS EC2 Autoregister Template, the "Autoregister AWS hosts" action, the "AWS SNS" media type, and the ami_api_user API user - all built on top of the standard Zabbix 4.2 template library
Instance Sizing and Capacity
- Minimum - t3.small (2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM), 20 GB gp3 root volume: up to ~50 monitored hosts
- Recommended - c5.large (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM), 50 GB gp3: up to ~300 monitored hosts
- Large deployments - m6i.xlarge (4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM), 100 GB gp3: up to ~1,000 monitored hosts
- Architecture: x86_64 only (Intel/AMD instance families such as c5, c6i, m5, m6i)
Security Posture
- No baked-in credentials: Every secret is generated on the instance at first boot using IMDSv2, so no two instances share a password
- MariaDB: Random 32-byte root password generated at boot, stored in /etc/imaxe/secrets/mariadb/password (mode 0600, root only), with unix_socket authentication enabled
- Minimal open ports: Only 22 (SSH), 80/443 (frontend), and 10051 (Zabbix trapper) are required. Port 10050 binds to 127.0.0.1 only. Java gateway and web service ports are not shipped
- No AWS keys stored on the image: The SNS and auto-scaling scripts use the instance IAM role exclusively
- Forced password change: The initial Admin password is the EC2 instance ID, and you are prompted to change it immediately
Getting Started After Launch
- Launch the AMI on an x86_64 instance (c5.large recommended), attaching an IAM role for SNS or auto-scaling features
- Open security group ports: 22 (SSH), 80 and 443 (frontend), 10051 (Zabbix trapper)
- Browse to http:/// or https:// for the self-signed certificate
- Log in as Admin with the EC2 instance ID as the password, then change it immediately
- Point your first Zabbix agent at port 10051 - auto-registration is already enabled, so the host appears on its own
Configuring SNS Alerts (3 Steps)
- Create SNS topics in your AWS account for each Zabbix severity level (not classified, information, warning, average, high, disaster)
- Add the topic ARNs and your AWS region to /etc/zabbix/zabbix_ami.yml
- Attach an IAM role with sns:Publish to the instance and add the "AWS SNS" media to the Zabbix users who should receive alerts
Example Use Case: Monitoring an EC2 Fleet with SNS Alerting
A DevOps team managing 100 EC2 instances launches this AMI on a c5.large. Within minutes, they install the Zabbix agent on each server and point it at port 10051. Auto-registration detects each host and applies the preconfigured monitoring template. When CPU utilization on a web server exceeds the threshold, a Zabbix trigger fires and the SNS relay delivers an alert to the team's notification topic - reaching Slack, PagerDuty, or email depending on how the SNS subscription is configured. The entire workflow from detection to notification runs without storing any AWS credentials on the monitoring server.
About Imaxe.Cloud
Imaxe.Cloud has been building and publishing production-ready AMIs since 2019. Every image in the catalog is built, tested, and released by the same engineering team that handles support tickets. This is a repackaged open-source software product with no association with Zabbix LLC.
Highlights
- Zabbix 4.2 server, frontend, MariaDB and nginx already wired and tested: from launch to your first monitored host in about 8 minutes, with no archived repositories to hunt down for an end-of-life branch.
- Built-in AWS integration: an SNS relay that forwards alerts to one topic per Zabbix severity, and EC2 auto-registration and de-registration so Auto Scaling hosts appear and disappear on their own. Both use the instance IAM role - no AWS keys are stored on the image.
- No baked-in credentials: the MariaDB root password is generated on each instance at first boot and the Zabbix Admin password is the EC2 instance ID, so no two launches share a secret. Only ports 22, 80, 443 and 10051 need opening, and the frontend serves HTTPS from the first boot.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the running EC2 instance you choose. Pricing scales with instance size, not with features. Every listed instance type includes the same preconfigured monitoring server and alerting setup; you pick the machine that fits your workload. Larger instance families carry higher hourly rates, while smaller types cost less per hour. The AWS Marketplace software fee is separate from the EC2 compute charge, which AWS bills on its own. A 7-day free trial applies before hourly billing begins.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly unit covers one running EC2 instance of the type you pick. It maps to the machine hosting the monitoring server and alerting setup. The AWS Marketplace software fee covers the image only. AWS bills the underlying EC2 compute separately, so your total combines both charges.
The hourly software fee meters running time only, so a fully stopped instance does not accrue it. Attached storage may still incur separate AWS fees while the instance is stopped. To avoid all charges, terminate resources you no longer need.
Every instance type ships the same monitoring server and alerting setup, so features do not change. You pay the hourly rate of whichever type is running. Switching to a larger family raises the hourly charge; switching to a smaller one lowers it. The change applies from the moment the new instance runs.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Review from a verified AWS customer
I subscribed to Zabbix 4.2 about a year ago. Simply, I had to do zero work to get Zabbix up and running. Added my hosts and started receiving data within minutes from Zabbix agents. Alert and notification works without much configuration. And I love the support I get from Macklus. Upgrade to 4.4 took 5 minutes with the help of Macklus support team. I highly recommend this product.
