Zabbix proxy over SSH?

[bsilva]

Is anyone using Zabbix Proxy over SSH port forwarding?

Does it work well?

How do you define the proxy in the zabbix GUI?
(I'm trying aliasing the name I want for the proxy as "localhost" in /etc/hosts)


Thanks,
Brad

never tried the ssh pf with a proxy...

the proxy is defined in hosts -> proxies
u then enter the name of the proxy, which should be also configured in the conf file of the proxy server (Hostname).

To keep the SSH tunnel open, have a look at AutoSSH:
