Monitoring devices behind proxy

[chrislacey]

Hi
Can someone help with monitoring the availability of devices on a remote site behind a zabbix proxy.
if i use an item zabbix[host,snmp,available] and a trigger {device:zabbix[host,snmp,available].nodata(10m)}=1 it works fine for remote routers that it connects to and if it doesnt connect it will show as unavailable from the trigger.
I cannot find a way to detect if a proxy is down, or the devices behind the proxy the trigger shows as OK even though no data is received
Thanks
Chris

This item is always p

The trigger shows OK, because there is no problem event generated. If you want to monitor the proxy and connection to that network, monitor each proxy with your zabbix server or a proxy dedicated to that task in your zabbix server network.
Triggers from hosts don't generate problem events if their proxy goes down.
