Chapter 7: Setting Up Zabbix Proxies
You can't preach about Zabbix without actually preaching about the use of Zabbix proxies—a nice addition at first, but a no-brainer by now. Anyone that's expecting to set up a Zabbix environment of a medium/larger size will need proxies.
In this chapter, we will first learn how to set up a Zabbix proxy. We will then learn how to work with passive and active Zabbix proxies, and also how to monitor hosts with either form of Zabbix proxy. We will also cover some Zabbix network discovery using the proxies, and we'll learn how to monitor Zabbix proxies to keep them healthy. After these recipes, you'll have no more excuses for not setting up the proxies, as we'll cover most of the possible forms of proxy use in this chapter.
So, let's go through the following recipes and check out how to work with Zabbix proxies:

- Working with passive Zabbix proxies
- Working with active...
