Can no longer customise Zabbix 6.0 custom ports or zbx_server

[jagexjake]

We updated to the latest version of the module, and we are running zabbix 6.0 soon going to 7.0, this has then caused an unexpected behaviour of no longer being able to have our zabbix-web on another host as it removes the customisation of $ZBX_SERVER from zabbix-web instances
https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-zabbix/blob/master/templates/web/zabbix.conf.php.erb#L29-L33

This is also the same for zabbix proxy being able to report back to zabbix server on a custom port? https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-zabbix/blob/master/templates/zabbix_proxy.conf.erb#L30-L36

it appears this commit caused this? db01009

I do not understand why this project has limited the flexibility?
we have gone back to module 9.1.0 due to this capability limitation

Hi, I've never use it, can you link me a reference?
it seems to be commented by default but not deprecated, probably a misunderstood of the contributor.

configuration references
https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix/blob/release/6.0/ui/conf/zabbix.conf.php.example

For the proxy ServerPort was removed in zabbix 6.0 you can read how to configure in the config file

### Option: Server
#	If ProxyMode is set to active mode:
#		IP address or DNS name (address:port) or cluster (address:port;address2:port) of Zabbix server to get configuration data from and send data to.
#		If port is not specified, default port is used.
#		Cluster nodes need to be separated by semicolon.

so probably we can update the proxy class to reflect this change, but you can use "server:port" in zabbix_server_host as a workaround
