Active Checks

[Proxx]

Hi,

I am trying to get the zabbix active check to retreive the eventlog.
on the wiki there is a xml template but it does not work for me!

it seems like non of my active checks are working.

i have configured my log on the agent:

  6092:20120627:095010.656 In collect_perfstat()
  7336:20120627:095011.186 In send_buffer() host:'[COLOR="Red"]172.16.1.7[/COLOR]' port:10051 values:0/100
  7336:20120627:095011.186 End of send_buffer():SUCCEED
  7336:20120627:095011.186 Sleeping for 1 second(s)

 4636:20120627:100519.865 In collect_perfstat()
 7468:20120627:100520.738 Get active checks error: cannot connect to [[[COLOR="red"]127.0.0.1[/COLOR]]:10051]: [0x0000274D] Kan geen verbinding maken omdat de doelcomputer de verbinding actief heeft geweigerd.
 7468:20120627:100520.738 In process_active_checks('127.0.0.1',10051)
 7468:20120627:100520.738 End of process_active_checks()

where 172.16.1.7 is the ip of the zabbix server and the local ip of the machine is 172.16.1.42

  5376:20120627:105525.507 refresh_active_checks('172.16.1.7',10051)
  5376:20120627:105525.507 Sending [{
        "request":"active checks",
        "host":"PC-MARCO"}]
  5376:20120627:105525.507 Before read
  5376:20120627:105525.507 Got [{
        "response":"success",
        "data":[]}]
  5376:20120627:105525.522 In parse_list_of_checks()
  5376:20120627:105525.522 In disable_all_metrics()
  5376:20120627:105525.522 In process_active_checks('172.16.1.7',10051)
  5376:20120627:105525.522 End of process_active_checks()

seems like the server does not send the active checks to the client.

#	PerfCounter = interrupts,"\Processor(0)\Interrupts/sec",60

What version of agent and server are you running?

Were you ever able to resolve this at all? I am trying to setup a new installation running 2.0.9 and I am having the same problem.
