Zabbix (1.6.1) over OpenVPN ...

[sybex]

Hi, ...

Server:
Name: ZabbixS
IP: 192.168.0.10(eth0) / 10.200.0.1(eth0:0)
VPNIP: 10.150.0.6 (DHCP)
SetFix-VPNIP: 10.200.0.1

Client:
Name: ZabbixC
IP: 192.168.100.10
Conn. on the VPN-Gateway (10.150.0.1)
Zabbix_hostname: ZabbixS
hosts: 10.200.0.1 ZabbixS

Server:
ping ZabbixC -> OK
ping 192.168.100.10 -> OK
zabbix_get -sZabbixC -I10.200.0.1 -p10050 -k"system.cpu.load[all,avg1]" -> OK
zabbix_get -sZabbixC -IZabbixS -p10050 -k"system.cpu.load[all,avg1]" -> Not OK (empty_string on ZabbixS)

Client:
ping ZabbixC -> OK
ping 10.200.0.1 -> OK
ping 10.150.0.1 -> OK
ping 10.150.0.6 -> OK

If I try the VPNIP as hostname in Client it works, but this IP is dynamic. So I forced a Fixed EndpointIP (10.200.0.1) for the Server. The result is on the ZabbixS -> got empty String.

Why is it ok from the IP 10.200.0.1 but not from the DNS name?

Have anybody a idea?

It seems that you are connecting from two different IP addresses, one is accepted by the agent, the other one is not. Make sure that all IP addresses are in zabbix_agentd.conf:

Server=IP1,IP2,IP3

Hi Alexei,

thx for reply ...

is it possible to make a wildcard in the accepting list?
like IP=10.150.*.*,10.200.0.1

the problem with the second ip address are that it is dynamic. It works for weeks, but if the network is restarting i become another IP and i have to fix that manually on my zabbix clients at the end of the tunnel.

I can't chance that because it is not my network. I know this is a difficult story.
