Zabbix proxy daemon

## NAME

zabbix\_proxy - Zabbix proxy daemon

## SYNOPSIS

**zabbix\_proxy** \[**-c** *config-file*\]\
 **zabbix\_proxy** \[**-c** *config-file*\] **-R** *runtime-option*\
 **zabbix\_proxy** \[**-c** *config-file*\] **-T**\
 **zabbix\_proxy -h**\
 **zabbix\_proxy -V**

## DESCRIPTION

**zabbix\_proxy** is a daemon that collects monitoring data from devices and sends it to Zabbix server.

## OPTIONS

- **-c**, **--config** *config-file*

  Use the alternate *config-file* instead of the default one.

- **-f**, **--foreground**

  Run Zabbix proxy in foreground.

- **-R**, **--runtime-control** *runtime-option*

  Perform administrative functions according to *runtime-option*.

### Runtime control options

- **config\_cache\_reload**

  Reload configuration cache. Ignored if cache is being currently loaded. Active Zabbix proxy will connect to the Zabbix server and request configuration data. Default configuration file (unless **-c** option is specified) will be used to find PID file and signal will be sent to process, listed in PID file.

- **snmp\_cache\_reload**

  Reload SNMP cache.

- **housekeeper\_execute**

  Execute the housekeeper. Ignored if housekeeper is being currently executed.

- **diaginfo**\[=*section*\]

  Log internal diagnostic information of the specified section. Section can be *historycache*, *preprocessing*, *locks*. By default diagnostic information of all sections is logged.

- **prof\_enable**\[=*target*\]

  Enable profiling, affects all processes if target is not specified

- **prof\_disable**\[=*target*\]

  Disable profiling, affects all processes if target is not specified

- **log\_level\_increase**\[=*target*\]

  Increase log level, affects all processes if target is not specified.

- **log\_level\_decrease**\[=*target*\]

  Decrease log level, affects all processes if target is not specified.

### Log level control targets

- *process-type*

  All processes of specified type (availability manager, browser poller, configuration syncer, data sender, discovery manager, history syncer, housekeeper, http poller, icmp pinger, ipmi manager, ipmi poller, java poller, odbc poller, poller, agent poller, http agent poller, snmp poller, preprocessing manager, self-monitoring, snmp trapper, task manager, trapper, unreachable poller, vmware collector)

- *process-type,N*

  Process type and number (e.g., poller,3)

- *pid*

  Process identifier

### Profiling control targets

- *process-type*

  All processes of specified type (configuration syncer, data sender, discovery manager, history syncer, housekeeper, http poller, preprocessing manager, icmp pinger, ipmi manager, ipmi poller, java poller, poller, agent poller, http agent poller, snmp poller, self-monitoring, snmp trapper, task manager, trapper, unreachable poller, vmware collector, history poller, availability manager, odbc poller)

- *process-type,N*

  Process type and number (e.g., history syncer,1)

- *pid*

  Process identifier

- *scope*

  (rwlock, mutex, processing) can be used with process-type (e.g., history syncer,1,processing)

- **-T**, **--test-config**

  Validate configuration file and exit.

- **-h**, **--help**

  Display this help and exit.

- **-V**, **--version**

  Output version information and exit.

## FILES

- */etc/zabbix/zabbix\_proxy.conf*

  Default location of Zabbix proxy configuration file (if not modified during compile time).
