Zabbix 6.0 High Availability ( HA Cluster ) Setup Tutorial

Detailed tutorial on how to configure Zabbix with native high availability functionality that was introduced in Zabbix 6.0 LTS version. Eliminate single point of failure, and use simple out-of-the-box functionality instead of complex third-party tools for HA setup.

What if we shut down Node1 which have frontend and nginx?

[alexanderbeggins]

It`s not HA if your database is on one node.

[ericbanayal]

Without frontend, how to monitor your devices when the main server goes down ?

[semirauthsala]

what happen if physical / virtual host goes down with database and front-end ? do we need to install DB/server/front-end in different servers to get full functionality in ha systems ?

[gideon]

Regarding the HA, when Node1 is down, the connections will transfer to node2... how about when node1 is now UP, will it automatically transfer to node1 as Active?

[sjuarez]

I think it's misleading to say that Zabbix offers HA functionality when it really doesn't. The DB is on one node only, so how r u supposed to access the web management interface or DB when node 1 is offline?

High Availability ( HA Cluster ) if you want set domain name with SSL how will be configuration need to both servers or?

[HenPadeh]

Hey Dmitry, Let's say that the DB is install separately and also two zabbix servers, 101 and 102 (just like your video) Is there any way to install frontend on 102 so that if 101 in down and the DB is still up and running the zabbix frontend will still be running also ? Thanks 🙌

How to do it with SNMP? How to tell it there is another zabbix node?

Can you use HA with agent versions < 6.0?

[szakolczigabor]

Hi, thank you for the video. I would like to ask, what happens when I install the DB on separate machine, and the DB will be unreachable. Will the two zabbix-servers keep their active-standby statuses? Will I get notification about the DB unreachability from the active server? Or will just crash my monitoring system? Thank you.

[juannogues]

Hi, is the HA solution designed for the frontend or is it for the agents?

[flavinhof]

Even with this High Availability has a failure point at DB, am I right ?

Can we cluster between zabbix 5.0 to zabbix 6.0

[jigenm]

I was working on Zabbix HA today and came across this video. Zabbix doesnt actually offer a real HA solution apparently, even though they claim to do so on their webpage. For example, in this video, you only have one database, which means if that fails, your installation is gone. Hence the video is misleading. I will try to install a true Zabbix HA cluster using Galera replication.

Hi Dimitry, I have a question for you. Does zabbix support multiple active master instances?

[Egimatic]

What flavour of linux would you pick besides oracle linux? Rocky or alma?

[danyelrp]

How is the frontend configuration if it is installed on a separate server? need a vip ip?

[viettungpham]

sh, you disappointed me so much, I thought there would be 2 SQL systems with H-A together, turns out you pointed to 2 servers with 1 database
