Zabbix Proxy passive mode not working

[capaciticci]

i configured my zabbix proxy for passive mode and it isn't collecting data or sending it to the server. i configured a host in the UI for Item=Zabbix agent and type Zabbix proxy and we get no latest data. i see in the server log file that it is sending data to Zabbix proxy which is my hostname of my zabbix proxy but thats all i see, there is still no latest data. not sure what i'm missing here.

zabbix_proxy.conf:

ProxyMode=1
Hostname=Zabbix proxy
LogFile=/var/log/zabbix-proxy/zabbix_proxy.log
DebugLevel=3
DBName=zabbix
DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=*******
ConfigFrequency=120

everything else is default

First: Item=Zabbix agent it is for how proxy is communicating with agents so this has nothing to do with passive proxy settings.
Second: if in proxy cfg file there is no Server= entry pointing to zbx server proxy will be not able ask server for hosts monitoring configuration.

according to the cfg file, when proxy is in passive mode the Server= field is ignored

I'm sorry .. you are right this time.
However as I wrote proxy settings have nothing to do with used types of zabbix agent metrics

Do you see in proxy log that proxy is receiving cfg data from server?
As long as you are using passive items do you see in proxy pooler log connecting to the agents to collect metrics data? Do you see in agents logs connections from the proxy?

PS. BTW passive monitoring does not scale well so you should be IMO more focused on use active items.

i see in my server log that it send data to proxy, then proxy starts doing stuff.
i see in the proxy log that it tried pinging the host then it stops there and doesnt send data to the server
