Hi, recently I'm trying PROXMOX last release on VMWare and i want to test with Zabbix. So i have installed 2VM : 1)PROXMOX VE and 2) Zabbix Server . I tried to configurate both Zabbix-Agent and SNMPD but in both cases no data out (port 161 and 10050) from proxmox (monitored through wireshark on router). So if anyone help me to solve this problem i appreciate it (obviously) . Any working guide is ok but any guide tried since today not work. Thank you.
 
Hi @Dunuin , i do not tried PVE because i dont know how to use. Now I have tried to redo the installation again and the error does not give it anymore and is active.



In any case the agent does not seem to be generating data on port 11050. Proxmox firewall disabled like as default. Here below the file in which I have only changed the server IP (Server=192.168.10.22). Did I forget something maybe?

You only set the Passive server so the zabbix agent won't send data to your zabbix server but the zabbix server will poll data from the zabbix agent. For that to work you need to add your hosts (which run the zabbix-agents) to your zabbix server, add a template to that host that uses the passive zabbix agent ("zabbix agent active" templates won't work because you didn't set that up at your client) and make sure you use the same Hostname ("#Hostname=" in the agents config file) in both the zabbix server and zabbix client or the client won't accept the polling of the zabbix server.
 
Solved! :The problem was to incorrect template. I downloaded specific template for proxmox and seem ok. Thanks.
