Install Zabbix SERVER and PROXY on same machine

[andreguilhon]

Is it possible to install both zabbix Server and Proxy on the same machine?
I'm trying to do this, but when I run puppet agent, it gives me the following error:
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Loading facts
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Duplicate declaration: Class[Zabbix::Database] is already declared in file /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/zabbix/manifests/proxy.pp:518; cannot redeclare at /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/zabbix/manifests/init.pp:294 on node zbxproxy.powers.com.br
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Here is the relevant part of site.pp:
`
node 'zbxproxy.powers.com.br' {
class { 'zabbix::proxy':
zabbix_server_host => '192.168.20.11',
zabbix_server_port => '10051',
database_type => 'sqlite',
}
file { '/usr/local/bin/backup_zabbix.sh' :
ensure => file,
owner => root,
group => zabbix,
mode => 0750,
content => template('zabbix/backup_zabbix.sh.erb'),
}
file { '/usr/local/bin/backup_config.sh' :
ensure => file,
owner => root,
group => zabbix,
mode => 0750,
content => template('zabbix/backup_config.sh.erb'),
}
file { '/usr/local/bin/backup.conf' :
ensure => file,
owner => root,
group => zabbix,
mode => 0640,
content => template('zabbix/backup.conf.erb'),
}
file { '/usr/local/bin/backup_dados.sh' :
ensure => file,
owner => root,
group => zabbix,
mode => 0750,
content => template('zabbix/backup_dados.sh.erb'),
}
cron { backup_zabbix:
ensure => present,
command => "/usr/local/bin/backup_zabbix.sh",
user => root,
hour => 0,
minute => 0
}
class { 'apache':
mpm_module => 'prefork',
}
include apache::mod::php

class { 'zabbix':
zabbix_url => 'zabbix.zbxproxy.powers.com.br',
database_type => 'mysql',
manage_resources => true,
zabbix_api_user => 'Admin',
zabbix_api_pass => 'zabbix',
}

}

HI andreguilhon,

No it is not possible installing Zabbix Server and Proxy on the same host. Why would you do this?
For me it makes no sense for installing it on the same server.

Kind regards,
Werner

dj-wasabi the thing is that my company sells Monitoring as a Service, and we put an appliance in the client side. This appliance is a zabbix server for the client, but the we also send the data to our servers, and this is done by zabbix proxy, which stays in the same appliance. Thats wy I need both server and proxy on the same machine!
Is there any workaroound, maybe?

[dj-wasabi]

Ok, I understand. What if you use the proxy part like this:

class { 'zabbix::proxy':
  zabbix_server_host => '192.168.20.11',
  zabbix_server_port => '10051',
  database_type => 'sqlite',
  manage_database => false,
}

I don't know if this works with sqlite... If not, maybe there is an other way, but it takes more steps.. :-)

[andreguilhon]

I'll give it a try!

[andreguilhon]

It worked like a charm!
Thanks for the quick ansewers and the excelent puppet module!

Nice! 8-)
Have fun with it..
