2 Zabbix Proxy

Visão geral

Esta seção lista os parâmetros suportados em um arquivo de configuração do Zabbix Proxy (zabbix_proxy.conf). Note que:

• Os valores padrão refletem os padrões do serviço, não os valores nos arquivos de configuração transportados;
• O Zabbix suporta apenas arquivos de configuração codificados em UTF-8 sem BOM;
• Comentários começando com "#" são suportados somente no início da linha.

Parameter details

AllowRoot

Allow the proxy to run as 'root'. If disabled and the proxy is started by 'root', the proxy will try to switch to the 'zabbix' user instead. Has no effect if started under a regular user.

Default: 0 | Values: 0 - do not allow; 1 - allow

AllowUnsupportedDBVersions

Allow the proxy to work with unsupported database versions.

Default: 0 | Values: 0 - do not allow; 1 - allow

CacheSize

The size of the configuration cache, in bytes. The shared memory size for storing host and item data.

Default: 32M | Range: 128K-64G

ConfigFrequency

This parameter is deprecated (use ProxyConfigFrequency instead).
How often the proxy retrieves configuration data from Zabbix server in seconds.
Active proxy parameter. Ignored for passive proxies (see ProxyMode parameter).

Default: 3600 | Range: 1-604800

DataSenderFrequency

The proxy will send collected data to the server every N seconds. Note that an active proxy will still poll Zabbix server every second for remote command tasks.
Active proxy parameter. Ignored for passive proxies (see ProxyMode parameter).

Default: 1 | Range: 1-3600

DBHost

The database host name.
With MySQL localhost or empty string results in using a socket. With PostgreSQL only empty string results in attempt to use socket. With Oracle empty string results in using the Net Service Name connection method; in this case consider using the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to specify the directory of the tnsnames.ora file.

Default: localhost

DBName

The database name or path to the database file for SQLite3 (the multi-process architecture of Zabbix does not allow to use in-memory database, e.g. :memory:, file::memory:?cache=shared or file:memdb1?mode=memory&cache=shared).
Warning: Do not attempt to use the same database the Zabbix server is using.
With Oracle, if the Net Service Name connection method is used, specify the service name from tnsnames.ora or set to empty string; set the TWO_TASK environment variable if DBName is set to empty string.

Mandatory: Yes

DBPassword

The database password. Comment this line if no password is used. Ignored for SQLite.

DBPort

The database port when not using local socket. Ignored for SQLite.
With Oracle, if the Net Service Name connection method is used, this parameter will be ignored; the port number from the tnsnames.ora file will be used instead.

Range: 1024-65535

DBSchema

The database schema name. Used for PostgreSQL.

DBSocket

The path to the MySQL socket file.
The database port when not using local socket. Ignored for SQLite.

Default: 3306

DBUser

The database user. Ignored for SQLite.

DBTLSConnect

Setting this option enforces to use TLS connection to the database:
required - connect using TLS
verify_ca - connect using TLS and verify certificate
verify_full - connect using TLS, verify certificate and verify that database identity specified by DBHost matches its certificate
On MySQL starting from 5.7.11 and PostgreSQL the following values are supported: "required", "verify", "verify_full".
On MariaDB starting from version 10.2.6 "required" and "verify_full" values are supported.
By default not set to any option and the behavior depends on database configuration.

DBTLSCAFile

The full pathname of a file containing the top-level CA(s) certificates for database certificate verification.

Mandatory: no (yes, if DBTLSConnect set to verify_ca or verify_full)

DBTLSCertFile

The full pathname of a file containing the Zabbix proxy certificate for authenticating to database.

DBTLSKeyFile

The full pathname of a file containing the private key for authenticating to the database.

2 - error information;
3 - warnings;
4 - for debugging (produces lots of information);
5 - extended debugging (produces even more information).

Default: 3 | Range: 0-5

EnableRemoteCommands

Whether remote commands from Zabbix server are allowed.
0 - not allowed
1 - allowed

Default: 0

ExternalScripts

The location of external scripts (depends on the datadir compile-time installation variable).

Default: /usr/local/share/zabbix/externalscripts

Fping6Location

The location of fping6. Make sure that the fping6 binary has root ownership and the SUID flag set. Make empty ("Fping6Location=") if your fping utility is capable to process IPv6 addresses.

Default: /usr/sbin/fping6

FpingLocation

The location of fping. Make sure that the fping binary has root ownership and the SUID flag set.

Default: /usr/sbin/fping

HistoryCacheSize

The size of the history cache, in bytes. The shared memory size for storing history data.

Default: 16M | Range: 128K-2G

HistoryIndexCacheSize

The size of the history index cache, in bytes. The shared memory size for indexing the history data stored in history cache. The index cache size needs roughly 100 bytes to cache one item.

Default: 4M | Range: 128K-2G

Hostname

Allowed characters: alphanumeric, '.', ' ', '_' and '-'.
Maximum length: 128

Default: Set by HostnameItem

HostnameItem

Does not support UserParameters, performance counters or aliases, but does support system.run[].

Default: system.hostname

HousekeepingFrequency

How often Zabbix will perform housekeeping procedure (in hours). Housekeeping is removing outdated information from the database.
Note: To prevent housekeeper from being overloaded (for example, when configuration parameters ProxyLocalBuffer or ProxyOfflineBuffer are greatly reduced), no more than 4 times HousekeepingFrequency hours of outdated information are deleted in one housekeeping cycle. Thus, if HousekeepingFrequency is 1, no more than 4 hours of outdated information (starting from the oldest entry) will be deleted per cycle.
Note: To lower load on proxy startup housekeeping is postponed for 30 minutes after proxy start. Thus, if HousekeepingFrequency is 1, the very first housekeeping procedure after proxy start will run after 30 minutes, and will repeat every hour thereafter.
Since Zabbix 3.0.0 it is possible to disable automatic housekeeping by setting HousekeepingFrequency to 0. In this case the housekeeping procedure can only be started by housekeeper_execute runtime control option and the period of outdated information deleted in one housekeeping cycle is 4 times the period since the last housekeeping cycle, but not less than 4 hours and not greater than 4 days.

Default: 1 | Range: 0-24

Include
