Zabbix Proxy Server

[StephenJ]

I have setup a zabbix proxy server for a customer site connecting back to our zabbix server

Zabbix server version 4.0.0alpha 2 (We are looking to update at some point to LTR)
Zabbix proxy version 4.0.3

Both servers have firewall and selinux disabled

Customer site connects via NAT to server. From both Server and Proxy server, I can ping both IP's and telnet to 10051

When I start the service I get the following:

7447:20190201:170803.335 cannot obtain configuration data from server at "X.X.X.X": empty string received
7448:20190201:170803.336 cannot send heartbeat message to server at "X.X.X.X": empty string received

We have it setup as an active proxy and confirmed the nat address is correct in the config file and the Server name is the same in both the config file and on the main zabbix server.

I think read in another thread that alpha/beta server wasn't compatible with the final versions. I don't know if your database will upgrade or not. At server startup, what does it show for DB version current and required?

I was thinking that as well. We do have another proxy setup and working, but it is an alpha4 build. I was trying to get my hands on that build, but couldn't find it. I am actually thinking about building a new server with the latest LTS build

I am experiencing a similar issue,

29868:20210106:164720.915 received configuration data from server at "X.X.X.X", datalen 641335
29876:20210106:170651.288 cannot send proxy data to server at "X.X.X.X": ZBX_TCP_READ() timed out
29876:20210106:170654.253 cannot send proxy data to server at "X.X.X.X": empty string received
29876:20210106:170656.416 cannot send proxy data to server at "X.X.X.X": empty string received

The server is on Azure and the proxy is on the client network

both are the same version 5.0.0

Any ideas?
