Before we judge people let's remember that threads such as this often rank high on Google and are the first place people hit when looking to do things like this.

So for the googlers: the most up-to-date directions for setting up a Zabbix proxy can be found in the documentation here:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/concepts/proxy

Zabbix Proxy install and configuration

The official docs are unclear on how to install the Proxy role; they are not concise at all. If anyone knows of a good walk-through on how to get a Proxy installed and configured, please share. I have googled this, but again, not finding anything in the way of concise steps on 'here's how you get your proxy working'... thanks!

I hope this helps,
I used this demonstration on my CentOS 6.6 Virtual machine.

And

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/installation/install

It clarified on what I needed to do.

Sorry for the Delay

Hello;

I hope it stills help someone , i found this guide:

http://linoxide.com/monitoring-2/configure-zabbix-proxy-external-monitoring-centos-7/

It looks like what you was looking for a walk-through on how to get a Proxy installed and configured.

I just try to follow the steps and right now...i have a doubt in the middle of the process... Do i have to install and configure Zabbix agents on the remote network?Or the Proxy will make the agent function of gathering data??


Hope to hear from you guys.

Proxy Disk Size

Resurrecting an old thread here to keep it all together:

Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me how to right-size a Zabbix proxy vm? I cannot find anywhere anything that gives an indication of the vHDD size.

I can find install instructions, RAM size, CPU core/socket count, IOPS, etc but nothing that gives a disk size.

Going to be running on CentOS 7 minimal build as per the main Zabbix server.

The default on ESXi 5.5 for CentOS is 16GB. Since the DB is just a cache and fwds the data to the main server how big do I really need?
