Auto discovery in different networks

[Stefan_x96]

Hello,

I have Zabbix Server deployed on the cloud server with public IP and /32 subnet, and its used to monitor other cloud servers in my company.

However, we have the need to monitor private networks in different branches. To explain how this needs to work it is similar to the Pandora Satelite server.

How can I achieve this? Can I run discovery from active Zabbix agents in every of the company branches? I would like to avoid having different Zabbix deployment in every branch and wish to have 1 centralized solution.

Thanks in advance for any help

I suspect you will have to put a proxy in each branch.

Thank you for your answer, can you explain to me how would proxy work in this scenario? At the moment one thing I was considering is the VPN site to site connection but it is a pricy thing with my firewall solution. Thank you for response

There is a picture in the doc: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...toring/proxies.

Like Zabbix agent active items, an "Active" proxy connects to the server for configuration info and to send data, so it only needs normal client "outbound" firewall rules. Zabbix discovery configuration has "discovery by proxy", so you assign the discovery rules you need to each remote proxy.

If you use a devops package to manage the remote sites, some of them have the ability to interface with Zabbix, like ansible: https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/ansible, or at least use your devops environment variables to feed Zabbix API calls to do all the setup.
