    data not uploaded to server from proxy

    Hello -

    I'm running zabbix 1.8.3 on Linux, with a central server and one proxy to get around a network zone. We do not use SNMP, etc- everything is based off agent checks.

    5-6 agents are communicating successfully with the proxy; if I turn on debugging, I can see the check commands and legitimate date sent back to the proxy. This data never makes it to the central server. If I restart the proxy, I see a log on the main server confirming a configuration file being sent.

    The data stopped being sent the last time the proxy server was rebooted; I noticed that the clocks were a few minutes out of sync (the proxy was running fast), but that's been fixed.

    Everything has been rebooted at least once or twice. I've turned on debug-level logging and haven't seen any errors that were obvious causes, etc. I've tested configuration between all the hosts by telnetting to each and I'm able to connect, type some garbage, hit enter, and then I'm disconnected. The hosts monitored by the proxy show up with a green status in the host config page. Under administration queue, there are a large number of items in the proxy queue; 0 in every category except for "over 10 minutes". I've tried disabling and re-enabling all the proxied hosts from the DM->Proxy page.

    Non-proxied hosts are updating fine.

    What else can I check?

    My thoughts..

    I have this problem regularly.

    I've tried reporting it but unfortunately the response from the development / support team was that "this doesn't happen".

    Basically, I have this issue if several triggers fail to evaluate. This then causes what seems like a chain reaction, stopping any new data being received from some/all the proxy servers. What this does is make things worse because new data isn't received, meaning more and more triggers fail (most of them use 'time logic' e.g. "last 300 secs, value = xyz" etc).

    The only way I can get things up and running again is to disable all the triggers for all the proxy servers, reboot the zabbix server, then reboot all the proxy servers.

    When all proxy servers have sent all buffered data (I have them set to keep 7 days worth), the triggers can then be re-enabled on the server.

    Does anyone else have a similar experience with zabbix proxies?

    Danny.
