Hello everyone. My first post here, but I hope I get to participate more when I get to know Zabbix in-depth.
I had a couple questions regarding Zabbix deployment and capabilities after having a small monitoring lab up and running. I wanted to separate several blocks of host groups. I've read that there's no such things as a hierarchy for host groups to nest them, so I'm planning to deploy several instances of Zabbix running separated databases to divide all host groups into several different DBs.
But in order to do so, I need to know:
- Can I get a single zabbix server to run two separated server-services, each one pointing in their .conf files towards different Databases?
- If the previous idea can't be done and I must install the server on each machine and point each one to their DB, can I get a Zabbix Proxy to report to two (or more) different Zabbix servers, according to any criteria (eg. different ports)?
As far as I know (it ain't much, gotta be honest), Proxy is the weapon of choice for taking some load off the central server, yet I don't know if it can be used to "split" the incoming data.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
Have a nice day!
