Two application servers to 1 Proxy

[DonPook]

Hello,

As the title states, can I have 2 different application servers connect to an active proxy? Basically I want to have a lab environment for an already established infrastructure but with much less devices than the production one. Proxy is monitoring around 200 devices and sends them back to an application server, what I want to do is add another application server and have the proxy send the hosts to that one too, but only for 15% of the devices (I guess this is achievable from the application server itself where I will discover the hosts, correct?).

Is this feasible? Anyone has done anything similar in the past?

"application server" == "zabbix server" ?

Server

yes

If ProxyMode is set to active mode: IP address or DNS name of Zabbix server to get configuration data from and send data to. If ProxyMode is set to passive mode: List of comma delimited IP addresses, optionally in CIDR notation, or DNS names of Zabbix server. Incoming connections will be accepted only from the addresses listed here. If IPv6 support is enabled then '127.0.0.1', '::127.0.0.1', '::ffff:127.0.0.1' are treated equally and '::/0' will allow any IPv4 or IPv6 address. '0.0.0.0/0' can be used to allow any IPv4 address. Example: Server=127.0.0.1,192.168.1.0/24,::1,2001:db8::/32,zabbix.example.com

Hello Hamardaban,

Thank you for your answer, so it has to be in passive mode to accomplish what we need?

Kind Regards

In short: proxy in passive mode accepts requests from the server to the agents (of course, not only) and passes them to the agents. In this mode, it does not matter how many servers request data through it - it will pass it on.
