Is it possible to have severals zabbix servers active with high availability ?

[Clayzes]

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy zabbix on my network and I would to use 2 Zabbix servers as a cluster.
1 server on my local network without any internet access , and an other one which can access to other devices on the cloud.
I want them to use the same database and frontend , but is it possible ?
I found documentation about High availability but it says : "Only one node can be active (working) at a time."
So maybe it's not possible https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...epts/server/ha

Thank you

The documentation is right, it's not possible.

ok , thank you for your answer.
Do you think I should use a proxy server ?
I'm student trying to improve in cybersecurity so i'm trying to create a network architecture less vulnerable as possible

Proxies is no full substitute to an HA solution but it will certainly increase a fault tolerance of the entire system because: (1) if a proxy fails only a fraction of your data is lost, and (2) if a server fails (be at an HA cluster or not) you're still collecting your data.
