One Proxy to Feed 2 Zabbix Servers (Databases)

[BSDUKJ]

Zabbix Proxy Design is 1-to-1. A Single Proxy pointing to a Single Database/Server.

However, I need a way for being able to dual feed information from a zabbix proxy to 2 seperate Database/Server Instances.

My initial thought is to have 2 zabbix proxies on the same host using 2 seperate conf file, I know this will be dual polling but I'm happy with that if it gives me the desired result.

The current 1-to-1 setup is /etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.conf.

I'm thinking I have 2 files zabbix_proxy1.conf and zabbix_proxy2.conf


zabbix_proxy1.conf

Server=ZabbixServer1:12345
Hostname=ZabbixProxy1
ListenPort=10051
LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_proxy1.log
PidFile=/tmp/zabbix_proxy1.pid

zabbix_proxy2.conf

Server=ZabbixServer2:12345
Hostname=ZabbixProxy2
ListenPort=10051
LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_proxy2.log
PidFile=/tmp/zabbix_proxy2.pid

If this seems correct will the Servers/Databases just pick them after the zabbix service is restarted or is there something else required.

Do the ZabbixServer Ports need to be different and do the listen ports need to be different if they are on the same Linux host.

I'm open to any suggestions if there is another way to achieve the same result of getting data from a site to 2 seperate servers/databases.

You cannot run 2 separate instances on same port...So ListenPort has to be different there... Which also brings up the need to configure agents accordingly...
