Thanks so much

Playing around with this, but it seems only the first page of a dashboard will be sent in the report, or am i missing some hidden option?

Yes, currently only the first page is captured and sent.

Just downloaded 5.4 beta 3 and the test functionality is not working?
I have installed and configured Web Service, added URL to Zabbix Server conf and updated frontend URL in GUI.
I added a user and configured both email and email(html) for the user.
Configured email and email (html) media types and tested ok.

When trying Test on scheduled report i get "Report generating test failed. No media configured for the report recipients"

When testing the report is sent to the tester.

Sorry I had not found the reports page in the documentation.
I've now configured everything correctly (including installed google-chrome on centos in the beta appliance). Test is working correctly now, however I'm receiving blank pdfs?
When I look a the dashboard I'm testing against there is data (from previous day) present. What can cause this?

Thanks..

Update, I got it to work, the URL param in frontend was incorrect.

If you are getting blank pdfs (and not pdfs with empty graphs or something), it means webservice is working, but exporting empty pdfs. First thing to check is if the frontend URL in administration/general/other. Is it correct and can it be accessed from the system where Zabbix web service is running. Also you can check if chrome print-to-pdf is working from command line: chrome --headless --print-to-pdf=<path> <url>

P.S.
Sorry, the message permissions were wrong.

Today i have tested the new 5.4.0rc1 but i still not able to test the PDF Report.

During the test of the PDF Report  and when i push the "test" button i receive a message like "Cannot connect to web service: couldn't connect to server" on the log i can see:

Someone have the same problem?
Thanks

Sorry after some digging and troubleshooting i have found the problem...
To use this new feature i need to install the package called "zabbix-web-service" modify the new file "/etc/zabbix/zabbix_web_service.conf" and finally start the service "zabbix-web-service".
After that i need to install "google-chrome" and now i was able to receive me PDF report on my email address. I have attach an example. test_2021-05-14_11-23.pdf

I am validating the report on the docker, but it returns the following error. all

all code error:
