Zabbix-Proxy

[Vinccyk]

Hi,

I need some help to add more zabbix-proxy in my zabbix-server.

So I increase the number of Replicatset but in the configuration file of the containers all zabbix-proxy have the same hostanme.
I tried to use the env variable ZBX_HOSTNAMEITEM with value system.hostname but it does not work.

extraEnv:

• name: ZBX_CACHESIZE
  value: "400M"
• name: ZBX_HOSTNAMEITEM
  value: system.hostname

I missed something,
thank you in advance for your help and thanks a lot for this great helm chart.

Kind Regards,

Hello @Vinccyk!

Thanks for use this helm chart and share your doubt.

If you use helm chart version 7.0.6 and unset or comment the zabbix-proxy.ZBX_HOSTNAME value in the values.yaml file, the pod name will be set automatically on each zabbix-proxy.

This was discussed in this PR: #170 and released in this release: https://github.com/zabbix-community/helm-zabbix/releases/tag/zabbix-7.0.6

Have a nice week

Yes, I use helm chart version 7.0.6
I commented "#ZBX_HOSTNAME: zabbix-proxy" in my values.yaml
I uninstall/reinstall the helm chart.
My pods have differents name but inside the zabbix_proxy.conf I have the same "hostname=zabbix-proxy".
How I can I add several zabbix-proxy in my zabbix-server if all zabbix-proxy have the same hostname in their zabbix-proxy configuration file ?
I use zabbix-proxy in active mode.
I read PR:170 but not sure to well understand.

Sorry @Vinccyk!

Perhaps uncommenting ZBX_HOSTNAME is not enough, as the value still comes from the chart's default values.yaml file.

Try unset like this:

zabbix-proxy:
  ZBX_HOSTNAME: ''

Other thing... maybe you will need configure a specific service of each pod of each zabbix-proxy as explained here: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/zabbix-community/zabbix#multiple-replicas-for-zabbix-proxy-statefulset

I don't have an example of this setup but I believe that @antonin-rouault can help you.

With ZBX_HOSTNAME: '' in the values.yaml, its works.
I added all my zabbix-proxy in the zabbix-server, perfect !
I only use zabbix-proxy in active mode so I have under the impression that is not needed to have specific service for each pod.
Thank you so much
Have a nice day.
