I am testing Zabbix to see if it is helpful or not. To do so, I need to run the agent on some servers that are protected by some rather strict firewall rules. Since I am just testing, I don't want to make my security person go open up ports for a bunch of servers, and then close them again if I decide not to use Zabbix. So I thought I'd try setting Zabbix to use a port that is already open.
So I set up one server to use port 636, restarted zabbix-agent. Made sure the configuration settings were correct on zabbix-server, and it can't connect to the agent.
Hovering over the red Z on the Configuration->Hosts page gives me:
Get value from agent failed: *** Cannot connect to [10.225.0.92]:636 [Connection refused]
Looking at http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/.../zabbix_agentd says that the values for ListenPort are 1024-32767.
Does that mean that I can't use 636 to test with? I'd have to use something between those values? Or is it something with the firewall settings?
