Overview
In the Administration → DM section distributed monitoring options (proxies or nodes) can be configured in the Zabbix front-end.
The dropdown in the top right-hand corner allows to switch between proxy or node screens.
Proxies
A listing of existing proxies with their details is displayed.

To configure a new proxy, click on the Create proxy button in the top right-hand corner.
Mass editing options
A dropdown below the list offers some mass-editing options:

Enable selected – change the status of hosts monitored by the proxy to Monitored

To use these options, mark the check-boxes before the respective proxies, then select the required option and click on “Go”.
