Beta10 Windows Agent Dies

[navtek007]

Hi All,

Just done the upgrade of my windows agents to beta 10. all seem to go fine however on a few of my servers the agent keeps dying. It dies pretty much straight after I start the agent. I turned logging to to level 4 however it only outputs the following:

[24-May-2006 10:00:47] *************** Log file opened ****************

I've re-installed the service and still with the same error. The service starts fine with beta9 agent.

Any ideas?

Update:

I have just upgraded to beta11 and this is still an issue for me.

Any help would be great.

Any pattern why it dies? Only on non-english locales?

[navtek007]

The only way that I can get the agents to stay up is to turn off event log monitoring/active checks. I have done this and they have not falling over yet.

I have tried to run it in standalone mode (with event log monitoring enabled)and it gets the starting the second listener and dies.

I can roll back to beta9 with event log monitoring on and it starts fine.

Thanks.

Alexei,

I don't know about non-english, but it would appear that under the English (Australian) locales that the Win32 daemon (from 1.1B12 and 1.1B10) appears to be dying once it has sent back the updates from the event logs. The offset in the exe is 0x00003a90. Perhaps it is an issue with TCP handling (only a thought, no investigation into that yet)?

Fix for Beta12 agent for this same problem.

Alexei,

I have placed a modified Beta12 client in the "ZABBIX Patches" threads under the Zabbix (alpha,beta) dicussions, located here.

This ended up being a NULL pointer issue.
