Zabbix 7.0 : Configure Zabbix Proxy2024/09/05 |
Configure Zabbix Proxy to reduce workload on Zabbix Server or to collect data from hosts which they can not communicate with Zabbix Server directly. This example is based on the environment like follows. * dlp.srv.world [Zabbix Server (10.0.0.30)] * prox.srv.world [Zabbix Proxy (10.0.0.34, 192.168.0.34)] * node02.srv.world [Zabbix Agent (192.168.0.52)] |
