zabbix proxy agent
When a small number of servers we monitor when using a separate server to retrieve some data can withstand, but when too many servers need to be monitored, such as the 3000 server, a thousand in Beijing, a thousand in Shanghai, a thousand in Hangzhou, we can monitor a distributed fashion
zabbix_server---->proxy---->agent
We created three proxy, respectively docking Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, three thousand machines, after the installation of proxy, server proxy only three days to exchange information on the line, it will reduce the pressure on the server.
We install prixy that time, also need to install the database, but the database is used as a cache, when the server proxy to interact with the busy time, will first save data to the database inside the proxy, to prevent loss, but will eventually write zabbix to the database, only played a role in the cache, you can use yum install mariadb on the line.
After you finish adding proxy, you need to add proxy in the web interface,
After the end of the server and agent ServerActive you can write the address of the proxy.
