  • zabbix_javagateway_startpollers: Default: 5. The amount of pollers to start.

proxy

When the target host does not have access to the internet, but you do have a proxy available then the following properties needs to be set to download the packages via the proxy:

  • zabbix_http_proxy
  • zabbix_https_proxy

Dependencies

The java gateway can be installed on either the zabbix-server or the zabbix-proxy machine. So one of these should be installed. You'll need to provide an parameter in your playbook for using the javagateway.

When using the zabbix-server:

  roles:
    - role: community.zabbix.zabbix_server
      zabbix_server_javagateway: 192.168.1.2

or when using the zabbix-proxy:

  roles:
    - role: community.zabbix.zabbix_proxy
      zabbix_server_host: 192.168.1.1
      zabbix_proxy_javagateway: 192.168.1.2

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

    - hosts: zabbix-server
      sudo: yes
      roles:
        - role: community.zabbix.zabbix_server
          zabbix_server_javagateway: 192.168.1.2
        - role: community.zabbix.zabbix_javagateway
