passive agentd to multiple zabbix servers

[storm]

Hi,

I have 2, Zabbix 2 servers running on RHEL. I put the IPs of both servers in the agentd config files but the computers I'm monitoring won't report to both Zabbix servers at the same time. Will this work at all and if so, what can I do to troubleshoot the problem?

Thank you,
Mike

Hi,

Yes, it works in passive mode with 2 zabbix servers
It even works in active mode since 1.8.12

Thank you. Do you know what I might do to figure out why the agents are not reporting to both Zabbix servers?

In passive mode, zabbix agents just answer to server requests.
You can test it from each server with zabbix_get command.

zabbix_get -s [I]client[/I] -k agent.ping

should help you test connectivity between the servers and the client.

You can also raise agent log verbosity with DebugLevel in agent configuration and check the logs.

zabbix server is probably logging error messages in zabbix-server.log. You should check it too.
