web checks from client

[zdenek]

Hi,
is there a way to setup Zabbix to check availability of a web service from agent installed on a client? I have a server (with agent installed) that depends on a certain webservice published in the Internet and I want to check if the service is available from that server/agent. Not from the zabbix server itself...

Thanks for the info

Just install proxy in any point in network from where you want to probe over web checks.

I experimented with an apache proxy on a cloud vendor, configure zabbix to check the proxy, configure the proxy to forward to what you want tested. It worked, but I didn't need it in production.

You could use a userparameter that calls a script

You could use a script and zabbix_sender

Like others have said, you could use zabbix sender.

BTW proxy. Do you know that in each web check item you can enter proxy details?
