Second web server

[StephenJ]

We are currently running zabbix version 4.0.4. We have one server setup with database, zabbix server and zabbix web front end. I now have a second zabbix server setup acting just as a web front end. I want to connect this server to the main zabbix server.

Currently the main zabbix server is running mysql and has a username setup as zabbix@localhost. This server runs on a 192.x.x.x IP address.

The new web front end server sits on a 10.x.x.x IP. I can ping the main zabbix server from the web server.

I configured the zabbix.conf.php in the web folder to point to the zabbix database. When I try the url it loads, but says that it can not connect to mysql, which I would expect with the user being zabbix@localhost



My question is: can I set the username to allow access from the two servers? IE 192.168.2.x and the 10.255.16.x address?

Can I have 2 users assigned to the zabbix database? EG:

zabbix@localhost and
[email protected]

Would that work?

Hi. Yes, you can.
Keep in mind - the frontend should have a connect with both sevices(hosts) : zabbix server and zabbix db.

Hi, I got the second user added to the zabbix server, in MYSQL. The main zabbix server is an all in one VM, hosting database, zabbix server and zabbix web front end.

I have a second server, which was pointing to our old zabbix server, that just has a zabbix web front end. I edited the zabbix_conf.php file located in /etc/zabbix/web and set it up with the IP address of the zabbix server, the port is 0 and the new username and password. It still says unable to connect to database. Is there anything I am missing?

Ah just found that the firewall is running on the web frontend server. Would I need to add a port for the new zabbix server?
Ports 80 and 443 are open

selinux is also enabled and enforcing
