Zabbix Proxy to Zabbix Server connectivity

[HoCaM]

Hello,

as our enviroment grows there is probably a need to use ZBX proxy(s) in the future. To get an idea of how it works i did a test installation on a rasberry device. Distributed Monitoring works as expected, but i noticed, that the proxy tries to connect to the server on port 10051 every second. I have already adjusted the Frequency parameters (Haertbeat, Data, Conf) but the situation remains. It is not a big problem in the test environment but in the real life the proxy would be connected to the server via WAN and i would like to avoit connections with that frequency.

When setting DebugLevel=4 for the proxy the following line appears every second:

In connect_to_server() [zabbix-server-ip-address]:10051 [timeout:600]

it would be great if someone could help me fix this problem.

Thanks

Are you able to telnet to the server on 10051? Make sure it's able to connect first.

Hi philthynz,

thanks for this hint. Actually it was the SELinux configuration that blocked the connectivity.

All good, thanks

But your changes to SELinux doesn't change this behaviour, right?
Today I noticed this by myself and the reason might be:

Note that active proxy will still poll Zabbix server every second for remote command tasks.

... but I wonder how to disable this. Who needs this?

Have fun.
