Configure Zabbix Proxy

[mario.almeida]

Hi All

i am facing problem to configure Zabbix Proxy

My eg:
Local Network
10.200.2.x -> all local servers
10.200.2.182 -> Zabbix Server

from 10.200.2.x to Zabbix Server no issues working fine

Remote Network
10.4.122.70 -> Zabbix proxy and agent running
10.4.122.x -> all the servers

Zabbix proxy connects to Zabbix Server with out any problem
From proxy to server 'telnet 10.200.2.182 10051' working fine no problem
From server to proxy 'telnet 10.4.122.70 10051' working fine no problem

Connectivity between Local and Remote Network is as below.
Local Network -> firewall -> router -> --Lease Line (512kbps)-- -> router -> firewall -> remote network

Configuration of Zabbix Server:
1) Configuration -> Hosts -> Create Host(selected host)
Name = Proxy
New group = Proxy
IP address = 10.4.122.70 //(Zabbix Proxy Server)
Connect to = select ip address from the list
Port = 10051
Monitored by Proxy = (no proxy)
Status = Monitored

and then save

2) Configuration -> Hosts -> Create Proxy(proxies)
Proxy name = Zabbix proxy
Hosts = ?

No my question is where do i specify the ip and the port of the proxy server?

do i have to select from the Other Hosts list ?
if yes then where do i specify that the agent should be monitored by the proxy?

Oh yes from Configuration of Zabbix Server Point 1) Monitored by Proxy = (no proxy)?
if that is the option the after adding it there and when i go back to Configuration -> Hosts -> and select proxy from the drop down list i get the list of added proxy servers

then i select Zabbix Proxy which i added early and in the Host select box i can see Zabbix Proxy server and also the host for which i said Monitored by Proxy = Zabbix proxy

Is this the normal way?

Can some one explain me how is the work of Zabbix Server and Zabbix Proxy i mean the configuration.

I have added as per i said above but no luck for me i need help.

i get the following error under Configuration -> Hosts

Name: Zabbix Proxy:Marketing Apps
Dns: -
IP: 10.4.122.8
Port: 10050
Template: Template_MKT
Status: Monitored
Availability: Not available
Error: Cannot connect to [10.4.122.8:10050] [Interrupted system call]
Action: Select

If i monitor the above server with out proxy i have no problem

Please i need help

You don't have to specify proxy IP address anywhere. ZABBIX server never connects to a proxy, the proxy connects to the server! Always.

So, if your proxy can connect to the server then everything is fine. Just make sure that the proxy name (Hostname=Proxy name in zabbix_proxy.conf) matches the name defined in the GUI.

In zabbix_proxy.conf it was Hostname=proxy
in GU it was Proxy changed to proxy
should case matters?

under
Configuration -> Host -> Host(selection)
-> Group (Proxy)
i have this
Name: Zabbix Proxyroxy
DNS: -
IP: 10.4.122.70
Templates: -
Status: Monitored
Availability: Unknown
Error: -
Actions: Select

but still no luck

error:
Cannot connect to [10.4.122.8:10050] [Interrupted system call]

From zabbix proxy

telnet 10.200.2.182 10051
Trying 10.200.2.182...
Connected to 10.200.2.182 (10.200.2.182).
