Configuration key points for Zabbix distributed monitoring (Zabbix-proxy)

Zabbix Proxy Introduction

Zabbix Proxy is an important part of implementing ZABBIX distributed monitoring, it is the "middleman", "connector", "router" and so on connecting Zabbix agent and Zabbix server. Zabbix proxy pushes data from the agent (push) to Zabbix server or is picked up by Zabbix server (FETCH).

Zabbix Proxy does not require the use or installation of a GUI (graphical User Interface, Web Interface), or local administration (locally administration), as compared to Zabbix server, with light weight, Easy to maintain features. Unlike Zabbix server, Zabbix Proxy does not generate any user notifications, and all user notifications are done by Zabbix server.

Zabbix Proxy The default service port is the same as Zabbix server (tcp:10051) and requires database support.

Zabbix Proxy Application Scenario

There are two application scenarios for Zabbix proxy:

1. Distributed remote Monitoring, firewall/intranet, private network penetration

Configuration Essentials

Start Service Order: Configure proxy or agent to first configure Zabbix Server in the Web, then start proxy or agent service;

Configuration order: Configure the proxy after configuring the server, and finally configure the agent

The server field (Serveractive and server) in the Zabbix agent configuration file under Zabbix Proxy is configured as a proxy IP address

Note The server-side "Sending configuration data to Proxy" {Zabbix proxy Hostname} ", Datalen {data length}", This record appears in the log to indicate that the proxy has been provisioned from the server side.

Troubleshooting tips

1. When adding proxy to Zabbix server or adding agent to Zabbix Proxy, "No active checks on server [192.168.1.242:10051] is displayed if the agent is encountered in the log": Host [Client] not found ", is generally Zabbix proxy does not get to Zabbix server in the configuration data about host[client], in order to ensure that the configuration file is set correctly, you can try to Zabbix Proxy process or service restart, or you can refer to the "Configuration Essentials" above, try again.

2.Server The common error prompt is "proxy configuration request from active proxy on" 192.168.1.242 "Failed:proxy" proxy "not found" + "heart Beat from active proxies on "192.168.1.242" Failed:proxy "proxies" not found "and" Cannot send list of active checks to [192.168. 1.243]: host [client] not found, usually due to configuration order or boot order, you can refer to the "Configuration Essentials" above and try again.
