Remote commands via proxy

[LenR]

I seem to remember in the past where action remote commands could be sent via the proxy to the host instead of only from the server. I can't seem to find anything on the subject. I see "EnableRemoteCommands is an option in the proxy config, but I don't really see what it allows.

Is it possible to have an action remote command sent via the proxy?

Thanks

I believe you mean this (after Create script button):

Not exactly, wouldn't that run a script on the proxy related to the action's host? What I remember would route the remote command to the host via the proxy, for cases when the server can't get there due to network restrictions.

I guess the script on the proxy could do zabbix_get -s {HOST.HOST} -k system.run[some_script] but that is convoluted.

Isn't "Execute on: Zabbix agent" then the correct option in the script configuration?

Yes, but the zabbix server must be able to send the command to port 10050 of the agent. For some proxy-monitored hosts, it can't, but the proxy could.

Oh, ok, I thought it is the managing component (proxy) that sends the command to the agent.

It was originally, but that's the hole in my memory, I thought they HAD setup some way to route commands via the proxy, but I can't find it in the doc. Unless now ALL commands go via the proxy.

[Markku]

An active proxy checks in to the server every second (!) just to find out if there are any tasks to execute, so I wonder how that all really works now.

It may be really old.... https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...hrough-proxies

I think all remote commands marked "Zabbix Agent" are routed via the proxy for proxy-monitored hosts.
