We use the JSON API to acknowledge certain Zabbix events/problems for which we have scripted mitigations, and provide a comment about what the script has done. This has been working for a long time.reverse phone lookup
Recently we set up a Zabbix proxy to monitor servers within a "sensitive" network segment. And now our JSON calls from these servers are failing because the firewall does not allow for this kind of traffic to the master Zabbix server.
Is it possible to install the frontend components on the Proxy, so that our script can make the API calls to it, rather than the Zabbix Server? Would those frontend components then have to connect to the DB on the Zabbix Server, or would they be able to connect with the DB on the Proxy? I can't seem to wrap my head around this, and haven't been able to locate an answer on the interwebs!
