Zabbix proxy will connect but wont discover hosts

[deadserver]

Hi folks!,

I have a problem I'm unable to solve. Setup is very simple, a server and some encrypted/unencrypted proxys.
Server 10.0.5.152
Proxy 10.2.9.1
(they are allowed to communicate with each other)

If i add an discovery rule that executes on the server it finds hosts on the local network.
if i add an discovery rule that executes on the any proxy the proxy receives data but doesn't do anything with it. Zabbix reports that is can "see" the proxy and its active. Works both for encrypted PSK and unecrypted.

i have checked connection between proxy and server and its seams fine. I have tried to telnet from proxy to server with this as result

telnet 10.0.5.152 10051
Trying 10.0.5.152...
Connected to 10.0.5.152.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

I have checked firewalls so ports are open and allowed to communicate. When i restart either server or proxy it states that data has been sent and received.

Does anyone have some clue to why zabbix proxy wont return data to the server? If i run exacly the same discovery but from the server to same subnet it discovers hosts.

Does your proxy config have StartDiscoverers= (>0) ?

Hi again!
Sry for late answere. Yes the config have that setting and its bigger then 0. Something else you think it can be?

I am running a proxy, and autodiscovery works fine.
I am using a encrypted connection and Selinux.
Remember to set
ServerActive= proxy.server.example.com In zabbix_agentd.conf

Sry for late answer but i managed to get it to work. Instead of using the internal network for the proxy config on the server i used the IP address of the VPN network instead and it seems like it solved the problem.

Thanx for taking time on this!
