Zabbix java gateway over Zabbix proxy

[sundlin]

Hello there

I have some issues when trying to run jmx checks through a zabbix proxy.

When i'm looking at the network logs it looks as if the java gateway is doing the connections directly to the end hosts JMX port. Would it be possible to get the java gateway to send the requests through the zabbix proxy that then retries the data.

My setup is:
- Zabbix server with java gateway on it
- Zabbix proxys spread out on numerous remote locations
- End hosts with java applications

We would not like to open the JMX ports directly between the java gateway and all the end hosts.

Kind Regards

Hi,

For correct monitoring JMX parameters through the proxy, you should install Zabbix Java Gateway on each proxy server for all locations.

Scheme is following:

JMX Host --> Zabbix Proxy (Zabbix Java Gateway) --> Zabbix Server

On Zabbix server you can shutdown java gateway.

Regards.
