how to use zabbix_proxy?

[BusteR81]

hi i read the v1.6 manual and it doesn't say much about running zabbix_proxy.

my setup is :

PC1 (proxy):
--enable-proxy --enable-agent --with-mysql (then, mysql create database zabbix; cat data.mysql....)
in zabbix_proxy.conf :
server = IP (PC2)
Hostname = IP (PC1)
su - zabbix -c "strace /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_proxy -c zabbix_proxy.conf"

PC2 (server) :
--enable-server --with-mysql (then, mysql create database zabbix; cat data.mysql....)
su - zabbix -c "strace /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server -c zabbix_server.conf"

Logs :
PC1 (proxy) : 21096:20080421:151400 Heartbeat message sendig failed
PC2 (server) : 7909:20080419:075031 Unknown proxy "IP (PC1)"

GUI :
When Server side > create host > Monitored by proxy = (no proxy) option only....(doesnt have the option of select PC1 (proxy)

I am running zabbix 1.5.2

Under Configuration -> Hosts -> Proxies
Create the proxy you want. The "Proxy Name" corresponds to the hostname line in the zabbix_proxy.conf on the remote machine. Restart the proxy and the server and proxy should be talking.

Hope this helps.

I have the same problem (1.5.3 beta) and restarting server & proxy doesn't help...
