1.3.3 Bug? zabbix_get seems to be non-functional

[clahti]

zabbix_get seems to be broken on the 1.3.3 release:

[root@localhost~]# zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -k "agent.ping"
zabbix_get [3934]: Error on gethost(). [Success]

or

[root@localhost ~]# zabbix_get -s 10.250.103.46 -k "agent.ping"
zabbix_get [3947]: Error on gethost(). [Success]

Of course on those two hosts, agent.ping is valid

[root@localhost ~]# zabbix_agentd -t agent.ping
agent.ping [u|1]

shameless bump, is anyone else having this problem?

[monsieurcanard]

I'm having this problem too. Are you connecting to zabbix_agent over OpenVPN by any chance?

[Alexei]

Are both server and agent from ZABBIX 1.3.3?

[monsieurcanard]

Not in my case, I was using v1.1 agent because it was easier to install from FreeBSD ports. Will compile v1.3.3 now and update this thread.

Hi Alex,

I hit a bug with Curl:

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5384

Should I compile the SVN zabbix_agent to test for the purposes of this thread? Or can you direct me how to fix the curl bug for 1.3.3 zabbix_agent?

Many thanks,
Matt

Yes both agent and server are 1.3.3 in my case

Clahti: Are you connecting to your agent over a VPN or using any kind of complicated networking setup, such as port forwarding? I'm curious as to whether running the connection over a VPN is causing the problem. I can telnet to port 10050 on the desired IP, though, and when I type in garbage it does return ZBX_UNSUPPORTED.

No, this is a normal local lan, client and server on same subnet

Workaround (first aid) for curl "bug"

Hi,

in a vain I added one line to every Makefile in the source tree.
That includes
Makefile
*/Makefile
*/*/Makefile
*/*/*/Makefile
and it compiles and links everything.
I am sure there is a way to add this line to "Makefile.in",
but I did not have time to check that, yet.
So if you are really desperate add the following line to all the Makefiles
e.g. after the line containing
SQLORA8_LDFLAGS =
The missing line is (all on one line, of course):

CPPFLAGS = ${DB_CPPFLAGS} ${JABBER_CPPFLAGS} ${LIBCURL_CPPFLAGS} ${LIBLDAP_CPPFLAGS} ${MYSQL_CPPFLAGS} ${ORACLE_CPPFLAGS} ${POSTGRESQL_CPPFLAGS} ${SNMP_CPPFLAGS} ${SQLITE3_CPPFLAGS} ${SQLORA8_CPPFLAGS}

Hope it helps. it worked for me.

Norbert.
