    Multiple zabbix server on one frontend

    Hello Everyone,

    im monitoring a quite large network with about 2000+ devices.
    We wanted to devide the monitoring into different parts so one server is monitoring the network (switches,router, MPLS and VPN devices) the other server is monitoring WLan devices (WLC and Accespoints) and the third server is monitoring telecomunication devices (VoIP) to split the load and databases on different mashines.

    Is there a way to combine all 3 Servers to show messages on one frontend?
    A proxy doesnt seems to be a soulution cause from my understanding it stores data only temporarely and all data are finaly stored on the Master Server.

    Thanks in advance
    Martin

    Short answer to question: No.

    What's wrong with the solution, that proxies forward everything to master and then you look on that data there? You can have separate proxies for all those mentioned functions You can have user and hostgroups, which allow you to separate data, so voip people do not see mpls stuff and vice versa... If you wish.
    Having multiple proxies, you are already spreading the load. All your proxies are doing is collecting data. All your server does is collecting data from proxies and calculating triggers basically.
