zabbix_http_proxy
zabbix_https_proxy
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_proxy_server: 192.168.1.1
zabbix_proxy_javagateway: 192.168.1.2
