Hi, I need some help:
Have two sites and wish to use a master + proxy setup. I have two VMs with the latest release and postgreSQL installed. Both function as expected on their own if I configure them as standalone. I have snapshots of the VM with a working base install that I am using for various configuration attempts.
On the master, I have a proxy entry configured for the proxy in Passive mode, with the IP address of the proxy and then the list of hosts (configured in the master) selected for that proxy to monitor.
The English instructions on configuring proxies are not clear:
- where is the zabbix_proxy file? There is not one included in the installation and even if there was I see nowhere to tell the proxy server to use this file, even if the page describing the contents is complete.
- there is no /usr/sbin/zabbix_proxy command
- in the zabbix_server.conf file, the last 3 options say "used only for proxies in passive mode".. does that mean they should be uncommented and configured on the master, or on the proxy.. and what mode in that case?
- how does one configure the proxy server to know it's a proxy? The Proxy configuration screen seems to apply only to other proxies. Should I configure an entry for itself?
In the logs on the master, I keep getting this:
invalid auto registration data: Can't find pair with name "clock"
invalid host availability data: Can't find pair with name "data"
occasionally... this:
cannot send list of active checks to [127.0.0.1]: host [Zabbix server] not found
Both the Master and the Proxy have host configurations for each other, and to head off any DNS issues I've put their entries in the /etc/hosts file. I have also confirmed reachability on port 10051. Nowhere is the host referred to as "Zabbix Server" anymore.
many thanks in advance for any advice!
