zabbix-proxy configuration

[vrolok]

I'm stuck, and I think after reading so many threads about proxy,active/passive checks I completely missed the point.
I have a zabbix-server, a sql-server and a new proxy that I'm trying to setup.

Zabbix Server (10.0.1.10) conf:

ListenPort=10051
LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_server.log
DBHost=10.0.2.10
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=XXX
StartPollers=40
StartIPMIPollers=5
StartPollersUnreachable=5
StartTrappers=5
StartPingers=5
StartHTTPPollers=1
HousekeepingFrequency=24
SenderFrequency=60
CacheSize=8M
CacheUpdateFrequency=60
StartDBSyncers=10
HistoryCacheSize=8M
TrendCacheSize=4M
HistoryTextCacheSize=12M
Timeout=30
UnreachablePeriod=60
UnreachableDelay=30
AlertScriptsPath=/etc/zabbix/alert.d/
FpingLocation=/usr/bin/fping

Proxy conf (Active Mode in the GUI):

Server=10.0.1.10
Hostname=proxy.contoso.com
LogFile=/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.log
LogFileSize=0
PidFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.pid
DBName=/tmp/proxy.db
DBSocket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
ProxyOfflineBuffer=2
HousekeepingFrequency=24

And there is an agent (which I'm trying to setup to be monitored by proxy).
I've changed "Monitored by proxy" to proxy.contoso.com in GUI.

Config is:

PidFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid
LogFile=/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log
LogFileSize=0
Server=proxy.contoso.com
Hostname=testbox
ServerPort=10051

But there is no communication at all. All items go to more than 10 minutes state in queue. Could somebody point me where is my mistake.
Thanks!

I've resolved my proxy config. But...
I'm having issues with icmpping, icmppingsec through proxy, those keys simply don't work. The proxy server has fping installed and permissions are set correctly. Also snmp doesn't work as well.

Could you explain a little bit more what do you do to configure your proxy monitoring?

[vrolok]

I've just followed this link

SNMP fixed but I can't get simple checks to work properly. ICMP keys don't work at all through proxy. Don't now what to do next.

ICMP checks through proxy

After having checked all config files and permissions for so many times and finding nothing wrong I finaly realized it was time to disable selinux ..

Things started working from that moment on.

Maybe this information can help someone.

Thank you robsimons

I was fighting with getting an ICMP pinger working this afternoon and your reply in this thread was the fix I needed to get things online!

Disabling SElinux on the proxies resolved my hung status of "zabbix was just restarted" and "trigger was just created" messages and started giving me real data.

I had the same problem and figured out how to add an SELinux policy instead of disabling it altogether. If you are interested I posted the steps I had to use here.
