Less Load on the Main Server
The proxy does the polling and checks for its site, so your central Zabbix server handles far fewer connections.
Run a Zabbix Proxy near your remote servers and networks. It collects agent, SNMP, IPMI and JMX data locally and forwards it to your central Zabbix server, in 11 locations.
Billed yearly at $89.94. $14.99/mo when billed monthly.
Simple monthly prices. Pay yearly and save 50%.
The easy way to get started.
More room for growing projects.
Extra power for busy workloads.
Maximum resources for heavy use.
Fast hardware, fair prices and real support.
The proxy does the polling and checks for its site, so your central Zabbix server handles far fewer connections.
Only the proxy talks to your Zabbix server, so remote hosts never need to be reachable from the internet.
The proxy stores collected data in its local database and sends it on once the connection is back.
Zabbix agent, SNMP, IPMI, JMX, simple checks and external scripts all work through the proxy.
Built for developers, businesses and anyone who needs a reliable server.
Put a proxy in each customer region and monitor every network from one Zabbix server.
Collect data from branch servers and network gear without opening them to the internet.
Monitor servers in other clouds through a proxy close to them, with one link back to Zabbix.
Poll switches, routers and firewalls over SNMP from a proxy near them.
Spread polling across proxies when one Zabbix server starts to struggle.
Keep monitoring data safe in the proxy until the connection to the server comes back.

Zabbix Proxy on Ubuntu 22.04, with a local SQLite database by default.
Configuration file over SSH, plus Administration > Proxies on your Zabbix server.
1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM and 15 GB of disk to start; larger plans suit sites with many hosts.
11 locations across Europe and North America, so you can sit close to the hosts you monitor.
You get full root access to install, configure and update the proxy yourself.

What powers every NodexVPS server.
AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon processors, with dedicated-core plans for steady workloads.
NVMe and SSD drives on compute plans, and high-capacity drives on storage plans.
Every server sits on a 10 Gbps port with redundant upstream transit.
Always-on mitigation absorbs volumetric attacks before they reach your server.
Each server is a full KVM virtual machine with its own kernel and reserved memory.
Polling every remote host directly from one Zabbix server gets slow, fragile and hard to secure as the number of sites grows.
Each remote host has to be reachable from your Zabbix server, checks across long distances time out, and a short outage leaves gaps in your graphs. The more sites you add, the harder the main server works.
A Zabbix Proxy on a VPS near those hosts does the collecting locally, keeps data through outages and sends it to your server over one connection. You keep full root access, and the server must be used within our acceptable use policy.

Quick answers to common questions.
Ubuntu 22.04 and at least 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM and 15 GB of disk. A central Zabbix server to report to is required; the proxy does not work on its own.
Install the zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 package from the official Zabbix repository for Ubuntu 22.04. Our Zabbix Proxy guide walks through the configuration, the web interface and tuning.
Active mode, the default, has the proxy connect out to your Zabbix server, so the proxy does not need any inbound ports opened. Use Passive mode only if the server must poll the proxy.
Pick the location closest to the hosts you want to monitor. Shorter distances mean faster checks and fewer timeouts.
