AgentD 1.8.1 stops responding on Ubuntu 10.4

[mike@vtg]

Greetings, hope someone can give me a pointer on this issue. I have an agent (1.8.1) running on Ubuntu 10.4 which stops responding after running for 10-15 minutes. I can restart the agent and it continues humming along for another 10-15 minutes prior to crashing. This system is also a Zabbix 1.8.1 proxy. The server is 1.8.3. I suppose I could try upgrading the proxy/agent to 1.8.3, but wondering if anyone has an idea why the daemon is crashing? I'm somewhat of a newbie to both Zabbix and Linux, but experienced admin. None of the log detail points me in an obvious direction.

Regards,
Mike

PS: I don't have active checks configured on the server for this device, however they are enabled on the agent.

In the agent log I find:


27864:20110123:100118.271 One child process died (PID:27871). Exiting ...
27864:20110123:100120.271 Zabbix Agent stopped. Zabbix 1.8.1 (revision 9702).

So I restart and get:

We had this issue too. Not on a Zabbix Proxy but on the Zabbix Server itself. We simply changed the name of the server in Zabbix to "monitor.ourdomain.com", and used the same name in the Agent configuration, and these problems disappeared.
