[SOLVED] Zabbix proxy is removed automatically from host

[ivanni]

Hello, Zabbix users,

I am using Zabbix 2.4.4.

I have three hosts in the same network:
Host 1. one host with Zabbix agent which uses active checks to send data to the Zabbix server (which has an internet real address);
Host 2. one host with Zabbix proxy;
Host 3. one Synology NAS host which I monitor through SNMP thanks to the proxy of the upper host (number 2).

I want to make the first host (1) to send its data to the Zabbix proxy first and then the Zabbix proxy to transfer the data to the Zabbix server.

I don't have any problems with the proxy and it's working fine for monitoring my NAS through SNMP.

But when I try to configure host 1 to uses the proxy of host 2 (from the frontend: Configuration > Hosts) after a refresh of the page I see that the proxy is removed:

Firstly I have - my-proxy: host1
... and after the refresh I get it like before (and host 1 starts to send to Zabbix server again):
host1 (and in the configuration I see no proxy).

Why the proxy is removed automatically? It works for SNMP, but not for the host with the active checks...

Thank you!

CASE CLOSED. I resolved the issue - I have forgotteen to add the IP adress of host 2 to the Zabbix agent config file of host 1. Sorry for this post!

Hello. i'm facing the same issue with Zabbix 6.0.5.

I add the proxy in the host config with 2 interfaces (SMP and Agent (passive)). It stays there for a while. The proxy gets some data from the host but then after a few minutes the zabbix proxy is again removed from the host configuration.

Any help ?
