Zabbix proxy monitoring

[Adriano Trindade]

Hello!

I have an environment with a lot of Zabbix proxies registered. Each customer have his own Zabbix Proxy.

My problem is, when a proxy stops sending data to Zabbix Server, I want to receive an alarm because that proxy became inactive.

There's a way to do that? I have searched and found nothing. I don't want to have to create manually one monitoring item for each proxy.

Thanks in advance!

zabbix[proxy,<name>,<param>]
	Information about Zabbix proxy.			Integer.	name: proxy name Valid values for param are: lastaccess - timestamp of last heart beat message received from proxy delay - how long collected values are unsent, calculated as "proxy delay" (difference between the current proxy time and the timestamp of the oldest unsent value on proxy) + ("current server time" - "proxy lastaccess") Example: => zabbix[proxy,"Germany",lastaccess] fuzzytime() function can be used to check availability of proxies. This item is always processed by Zabbix server regardless of host location (on server or proxy).

Hello!

As I understood, I have to create an item for each proxy anyway. But at least I can monitor it and take proper action.

Many thanks for pointing me out, I can go forward from now on.

Another question hit me.

Is there a way I can list registered proxies on Zabbix by name? This way I could make a discovery rule with automatic creation/removal of proxy monitoring items.

Network discovery in this case doesn´t work, because each proxy isn't accessible from external networks. I need to query Zabbix configuration.

Thanks in advance!
