Monitoring Server from 2 different monitoring sites

[micromack]

Hello All,
First time poster. We're new to Zabbix here at my business and have a challenge that I'm being told is possibly problematic. So the situation is we have a service that we use to monitor our SQL Servers for any event that might disrupt the business/operation. This service uses Zabbix to monitor the server and SQL instance and any alert, they log in and resolve the issue for me as they have the technical expertise to do so. This has been working fine and no complaints.

The complication comes because my parent company in India wants to also use Zabbix to monitor local servers and KPI our operation based on uptime, events, etc... Now I'm being told this is a potential issue because the monitoring service already has Zabbix on that particular server and my parent company will want Zabbix to report to their server, breaking my local monitoring service.

So is there a way to configure the zabbix agent on the server to report to 2 different monitoring services (My local monitoring service and also my parent company over seas)?

Thanks in advance!

Server and ServerActive parameters in agent config can take a list of hosts, so you can use same agent for multiple proxies/servers. https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../zabbix_agentd
You can also start another instance of agent on different port also, so you keep what is running currently and they use other instance.
