How to create Zabbix DB on remote Server

[priyankpujara]

I want to have a zabbix setup with its back-end Database on a remote server. How to configure zabbix to use this database?
Is there any other configuration to be done in zabbix or Database side for doing this?

hi ,
you can edit zabbix_server.conf -> /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

### Option: DBHost
# Database host name.
# If set to localhost, socket is used for MySQL.
# If set to empty string, socket is used for PostgreSQL.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
DBHost= 10.10.10.10

change DBHost to your remote server IP.

and do not forget to give the zabbix user the corrects rights on the remote database ;-)
