No active checks on server: host not found

[MrKen]

what do you mean by (What happens if you link the Template_Linux to your Host redhat2?) how can i do that?

I haven't upgraded to 1.8.x yet, but my quess would be: On Configeration -> Hosts, click on your host named 'redhat2'. A configeration box will open, and on that box it will say somewhere 'Link with Template', click on Add, then select Template_Linux.

I will do what you told me, and give you the result, I hope this fix the issue because I thought it might be connection problem.

[uknet80]

I added Template_linux, still I get same error host not found.

[uknet80]

some progress.

on the server side i change NodID = 1, as you can see from the image Z letter has changed from gray to Red, which means, it some change happened. still I am getting the folloing error on the server side:

Item [redhat2:agent.ping] error: Got empty string from [192.168.122.239]. Assuming that agent dropped connection because of access permissions

I assume the problem is from zabbix_server.conf file.

[MrKen]

Try this:

[uknet80]

I set NodeID=1 under zabbix_server.conf, now zabbix_server can see all agents. i hope this wouldn't generate other complications

09/14/2012 restrat of Zabbix agent fails with no PID found

I have a PID explicitly specified in the conf file and the PID is residing in the /tmp/ folder for my Zabbix Agent 2.01 install on SLES 10. But when I go to restart with the CTL it fails to stop claiming to not find the file. And then the log shows an error about the PID being locked when there are no zabbix processes running!

It's happening on about 30 SLES 10 systems right now and will be propagated to over 300 soon if not remedied.

The info comes from:

Zabbix


The info Im getting in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf:
DBUser,DBname,......

in /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log, the following logs are avalilable.
cannot send list of active checks to [127.0.0.1]: host [zabbix] not found.

in /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log, the following logs are avalilable.
No active checks on the server: host [zabbix] not found

please help me if someone may have the right experience.

Hi,

You have to make sure that server name in Zabbix server and agent are the same. See my remarks below.


According to screenshot this machine is called "Zabbix Server" not "test.linuxtest.localhost" in Zabbix.

According to screenshot this machine is called vm not mv in Zabbix.


Rename host "Zabbix Server" to "test.linuxtest.localhost" and replace "mv" by "vm" in zabbix agent configuration and it should be OK.

Regards,
Alixen

The hostname specified in your agent config file must match EXACTLY the name of the server I'm the GUI. If it doesn't, then you'll get the messages that you're seeing.

Confirmed Alixen's answer worked for me. Thank you.

[feliperockinmetal]

the problem i have is the error message i am getting from the minute i start the service. active and passive check is disabled by default, do i need to enable them? do you have any other suggestions? as i have followed all the stop needed

thanks

So, your configuration file does not have a line
ServerActive=IP_ZABBIX_SERVER

like:
Server=192.168.22.1
ServerActive=192.168.22.1
LogFile=C:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.log
LogFileSize=3
DebugLevel=2
RefreshActiveChecks=60
Timeout=30

Because of that and if your zabbix agent is configured as an Active Agent you will receive this error message.
