Active agents still broken in 1.6.2

[bluelinq]

Just upgraded to 1.6.2 form 1.6.1 and since 1.6 active agents are broken. All my remote servers use active agents and they don't report anything.

If I switch the zabbix server code to the 1.4.6 release they start working again, so no change in the agents or the config files, just zabbix_server.

Anyone in development have a solutions to this?

Regards,

Hi,

I'm upgrading today zabbix from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 and I have this same problem. In log I have this:

Actually I found my problem. According to the documentation the name of the server in Zabbix should match the name of the HostName variable in the zabbix_agentd.conf file. What is missing is that both should also be in the same case, either both lower or both upper case.

It used to work fine in 1.4.6, but I guess that was changed in 1.6 and so on.

Indeed there was another topic related to that issue. It can be fixed quite easily in zabbix_server code so that you won't have to rename all of your hosts.

Edit again: I confirm that 1.6.2 still is case sensitive.

if (0 == strcmp(item.host_name, values[i].host_name) && 0 == strcmp(item.key_orig, values[i].key)) {

Line 216 from src/zabbix_server/trapper/trapper.c

If you change it to:

if (0 == strcasecmp(item.host_name, values[i].host_name) && 0 == strcmp(item.key_orig, values[i].key)) {

Then it won't be case sensitive anymore regarding hostname (key name will still be case sensitive).
