    Monitor 2nd Zabbix server internals

    Hi Folks,

    I have 2 active zabbix servers at different sites passively monitoring the same devices and thought it would be great for zabbix to monitor each others internals. I created a zabbix template with all the internals & applied them to both servers.

    ie: HostB: zabbix[queue], HostB zabbix[queue] etc...

    Well, I didn't think much of it, until I tried to create a graph to overlay the polling queues of the different servers to compare performance.

    to my dissapointment both HostA & HostB had exactly the same graph.

    Well how can this be? - Turns out that regardless of which server you assign a zabbix internal to, it seems to not care, and just poll the local zabbix server.



    Can you expose these zabbix internal measurements so that I can monitor my primary zabbix server with my redundant zabbix server & vice versa?

    Is there any way to expose these statistics publicly (user parameters etc...?)

    Thanks!

    (Great stuff by the way coming along nicely!)

    That sounds like a bug, which you are probably best off reporting here: https://support.zabbix.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa

      that's not possible currently. while there might be better methods to retrieve the method inside another zabbix server, as the first step you might want to vote on https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-401
