Zabbix Proxy, passive checks doesnt work

[Panda]

Hello,

So I have a problem with my zabbix proxy. I have to configure a host in passive mode on another network. I managed to make it work in active but it doesnt work in passive and when I try to do a "zabbix_get" from the proxy, I receive an empty answer.
(My proxy is configured in active mode)
Also when I do a zabbix get on the host himself, I receive empty value...

 zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -k 'agent.version'

The zabbix server and proxy reach each other without any problem.

Zabbix server : 192.168.1.x
Zabbix agent : 192.168.100.x

Proxy.conf

Server=<name of zabbix server>
ServerPort=<port that I use for my zabbix server>
Hostname=<name of my host> (yeah it match exactly the name in frontend on the host and on the proxy)

Zabbix agent

Server=<name of zabbix proxy,name of zabbix server>
ServerActive=<name of the proxy>
Hostname=<name of the host> (it match frontend)

If you have any idea from where the problem could come from, thanks to let me know.

Have a nice day.
(Sorry for my bad english)

Did u change ur configuration of:

ProxyMode=0/1

1- passive
0 - active

[Panda]

No I left it in comment. By default it is active (I read it somewhere).

[Erravandrhel]

So u must uncomment it and set it to 0 in that case if it is in active mode by default.

[Panda]

The proxy have to be in passive mode if you want to monitor a host in passive ?

[Erravandrhel]

So i missunderstood ur question.

U want to have connection zabbix server - proxy server in passive mode or
u have zabbix server - proxy server in active mode (and it is connecting)
and problem is when u want to add host for monitoring via proxy server am i right now ?

[Panda]

I don't care if I have the proxy in active or passive.
I just want to have my host in passive mode.

I did configure my proxy in active and my host in active too, and it worked fine. But when I try to configure my host in passive it doesnt work. Wheter the proxy is in passive or active mode.

Sorry, I probably wasnt clear enough.

Can u telnet to the host at 10050 port ?

[Panda]

With the proxy or the server ?

With the server I obviously can't because it isnt on the same network.

And from the proxy I can telnet the host on the port 10050.

[Panda]

Update :

I re-installed the proxy. I configured it in passive mode (with the port 10051 on frontend). I'm pretty sure that my config is right.

Zabbix proxy conf. :

ProxyMode=1
Hostname=<proxys ip>
DBhost=        (I left empty because I use postgresql)

I can telnet my proxy from the server on the port 10051.

I don't have any error on my proxy log.

And I have this one on my server :

cannot obtain data from proxy "<proxys ip>": ZBX_TCP_READ() failed: [104] Connection reset by peer

If someone has any advice.

Can u telnet the port 10050 on host that u want to monitor?

Ok I found out the problem.
Thanks for your help.

I just had to add the internal network IP of my zabbix_proxy on the agent.conf on line ServerActive and Server.
