Zabbix_sender over proxy

[niumar]

Hi!

How can I do to send data to the zabbix server from a host that is monitored by a proxy.
I need constantly update manually the item status off a host that is under a proxy.

$ zabbix_sender -z "x.x.x.x" -s "host_name" -k "status" -o "0"

This command, from a other server, don't work. It returns:

"Info from server: "Processed 0 Failed 1 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000033"
sent: 1; skipped: 0; total: 1"

I am using zabbix 1.8.1.

Thanks!

are you specifying proxy ip to the "-z" flag ? i just tried that, and it works

Can you give an example how to specify a proxy.
My proxy is 192.168.2.4 and port 3128.

I guess he ment this:

$ zabbix_sender -z 192.168.2.4 -s "host_name" -k "status" -o "0"

$ zabbix_sender -z 192.168.2.4 -s "host_name" -k "status" -o "0"

Do not forget about port :P
$ zabbix_sender -z 192.168.2.4 -p 3128 -s "host_name" -k "status" -o "0"

$ zabbix_sender -z 192.168.2.4 -p 3128 -s "host_name" -k "status" -o "0"

that port is the default squid port, so probably not what's needed

What?
zabbix_sender sends data by default "SQUID PROXY PORT"?

-p, --port <port>
Specify port number of server trapper running on the server. Default is 10051.

What are talking about?

richlv: and ones again. You want to send data to zabbix server through the http proxy?
It is possible? and what for?
Now, I'm don't understand what was the niumar question....

no. somebody probably confused zabbix proxy for an http proxy
