Is it possible to proxy snmp requests?

Question

Monitoring

The situation is as follows. There is a server with several network monitoring services installed (Zabbix, Netdot, ...). There are also hundreds of network devices whose settings allow them to be polled via SNMP from the IP address of only this server.
There is also another server that has the same services installed for experiments and tests. Is there any way to configure proxying of SNMP requests on the first server?
I tried the Snmpd proxy option, but in this case, the same address of the first server will be specified as the destination, which is inconvenient for testing programs.
Or is it easier to manually resolve the second address on the devices themselves?

Answer 1

zabbix has its own proxy - zabbix-proxy. put it in access in both directions, it will collect data and send. Allows you to unload the network (each device will break not on the zabbix server, but on its proxy) and, I think, can solve your problem.
in the client side settings, simply specify the address of your zabbix proxy and add it on the server.

Answer 2

Isn't it easier to just get all the necessary networks and on the 2nd server, what is the practical meaning of a proxy, if, as I understand it, they are next to each other and one test one.
