Active agent to connect via web proxy

[thysk]

Hi all

I monitor several remote servers (Ubuntu) hosted at my clients sites, each server is running an active agent that talks back to my Zabbix server via port 80. I have just signed up a client that wants the agent to communicate with my Zabbix server via the clients web proxy (not a Zabbix proxy). I have got installations working with transparent proxy’s but cannot seem to find a way to force the agent to talk via a specified web proxy.

Has anybody ever done something like this or can think of a way I can make this work without having to allow the agent direct access to the Zabbix server?

Thanks in advance
Thys

Hi, does not look like anybody has an answer for this… Where can I find the source for the agent? maybe one of my dev guys can add a proxy setting to the code to make this work.

Zabbix Download Page - first link is the sources of Zabbix system, including Server, Agent, Proxy, etc.

So what I want is not possible

Let your dev implement SOCKS support for Zabbix. Perhaps that could work.
