How to zabbix work in cloud to OnP servers?

[fpessanha1]

Hi guys, I have a question. If my zabbix were on cloud and monitoring servers inside my network trought firewall, I think that I will need set listner parameter that each agente to diferent port, like: 192.168.0.1:10050 and next server like 192.168.0.2:10049, as son, or I can publish all servers trought same port by NAT and zabbix discovery can reach each agent? My knowledge of NAT/FIREWALL say not possible this configuration, but, if zabbix server have any way to connect with agent, would be excellente for my case.

Hello,
If i've understood correctly - you have your structure like:

ZBX Server <-> Firewall NAT -> many hosts running Zabbix Agent and you want to NAT the requests through the firewall to zabbix agent? Then you have 2 options to make it clean and cool:
1. Use proxy (the best option and you should do so). More about proxy:
1.1. https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...concepts/proxy
1.2. https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...g/zabbix_proxy

2. Use Active checks. In such case the Agents are the ones who will initiate the connection.

Zabbix on Cloud.

allexpetrov, thanks a lot for quick help!! I am using active check and working very well, but I noticed recently that my server dont have received any data when use "Template OS Windows", but zabbix server can receive data of others templates like HTTP, FTP, ICMP. Using active check with my Zabbix Server on Cloud, can I receive OS data from zabbix agent?

Best Regards!

Hi,
So please refer to the manual to understand what is an active check and what is an passive check. The default templates mostly utilizes Passive checks so it wouldn't work if you have NATed network behind firewall.

As I've already proposed and for security reasons - use Proxy. Please check this out as the proxy is a very tiny with a low footprint. You can install it on RaspberryPi-like device as well as proxy has database and can store the data in case of network outage for a period up to 30 days.
