Hi.

Do you mean make a SSH tunnel to another server and then connect through that to the Zabbix server?

Yes, I need a script, so that i can monitoring some remote hosts!

example
---------

10.2.x.x (Zabbix Server) --> remote with ssh to 156.x.x.1 (Zabbix Agent is installed)

10.2.x.x (Zabbix Server) --> remote with ssh to 156.x.x.2 (Zabbix Agent is installed)

10.2.x.x (Zabbix Server) --> remote with ssh to 156.x.x.3 (Zabbix Agent is installed)

Make some underlying tunnels on the server with OpenSSH and then tell the server to connect to localhost:localboundclientport. That should do the trick.

I think iptables allow create rule forward remoteserver_port -> localhost_tunelport.

Can someone make a example for this network configuration...

Configuration now:
--------------------
SERVER
IP: 10.2.x.x
USER: zabbix
zabbix_server.conf:
- ListenPort: 10051

CLIENTS
IP: 156.x.x.1
IP: 156.x.x.2
IP: 156.x.x.3
USER: zabbix
zabbix_agentd.conf
- ServerPort: 10051
- Hostname: localhost
- ListenPort: 10050


My example (doesn't work):
ssh -l zabbix -fN -L 10050:156.x.x.1:10050 -L 10051:156.x.x.1:10051 156.x.x.1


And how can I add this remoteclient in "Webinterface: zabbix --> configuration --> hosts"?

thx for your helps!
