Query zabbix-agents with zabbix_get by proxies

[grenzlaeufer]

Hallo!

I am trying to "misuse" the zabbix-agents and userParameter to query some data from our servers and pump them into a CMDB-Software. For this I want to make queries with zabbix_get. It works fine with all machines on the same network. The way to other networks would lead over zabbix-proxies. My question is:

Is there any way to query zabbix-agents with zabbix-get and relay the the request over a zabbix-proxy?

It would be nice not to have to build tunnels or open firewall-ports.

No, that is not supported because the Zabbix proxy uses a different protocol.

In fact nobody instructs a Zabbix proxy to do anything. A Zabbix proxy works similar autonomously like a Zabbix server. It queries regularly what and how to do from its database.
Over the connection between Zabbix server and Zabbix proxy get only configuration data synchronized and collected/received values transferred.

This might change if ZBXNEXT-473 and ZBXNEXT-810 get implemented.

But you could achieve what you want when developing something that speaks the Zabbix proxy protocol appropriately.
