Phantom proxy configuration - how do I remove it?

[lzvtmxwk]

I have Zabbix 6.2 in server mode which was upgraded from 3.2 a while back. My 3.2 had a proxy configured but that proxy has since gone away. Eventhough I've removed any traces of the proxy in the Zabbix web UI, Zabbix is still trying to use it. I keep getting these messages in the zabbix_server.log:

cannot parse proxy data from active proxy at "REDACTED-IP-ADDRESS": proxy "REDACTED-HOST-NAME" not found

I've searched through the MySQL database looking for the IP address and the host name but I cannot find any traces of it. I've searched through every configuration file for both and I also cannot find any traces of it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop it trying to communicate with this long gone proxy?

That message looks like you still have a proxy at REDACTED-IP-ADDRESS that keeps connecting to the Zabbix server. Go and hunt for the server that is running the Zabbix proxy.

Hi. I think you're right. I did a tcpdump and read it back in Wireshark, and the host that's sending the first SYN packet (i.e. the instigator) is the remote system and not my Zabbix server. Thanks,
