zabbix_sender to zabbix_proxy

[sgoodliff]

Hi,

I'm trying to use zabbix_sender to log data via a proxy


zabbix_sender -z proxyhost -s lt_aggregator -k sender.test.1 -o 3 -vv -r


The output I get back is

zabbix_sender [1976]: DEBUG: answer [{
"response":"success",
"info":"Processed 0 Failed 1 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000079"}]
info from server: "Processed 0 Failed 1 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000079"
sent: 1; skipped: 0; total: 1


The host is configured to be monitored by the proxy and the allowed host line includes the the proxies IP address and 127.0.0.1 as I'm running zabbix_sender from there.

Any ideas on what im doing wrong ?

Thanks

Not sure what's wrong in your case, but for Zabbix sender to work, everything has to match up to what Zabbix expects:

1) host name has to be an exact match to what's configured in zabbix, and if you're sending to a proxy, it must be configured to be monitored by that proxy.

2) key name must be an exact match for the key name of the item you're sending

3) the item must be a "trapper" type

4) value must match the type of information specified in the item (i.e. you can't send text to a numeric item)

5) I'd suggest leaving "Allowed Hosts" blank

And
In server / proxy config file there should be:

### Option: StartTrappers
StartTrappers=10 (more than 0)

Bests,

hi,

If i set the host to be monitored by the server and not the proxy it works fine. When I set the host to be monitored by the proxy i then get a fail. So the command line must be correct.

The proxy has trappers configured

In the proxy log i can see


21187:20120926:123709.813 Trapper got [{
"request":"sender data",
"data":[
{
"host":"lt_aggregator",
"key":"sender.test.1",
"value":"3"}]}] len 112

21187:20120926:123709.813 End of zbx_send_response():SUCCEED


but not sure why it says Failed.

I'm having the same issue here: https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41088

Any news about how to do it?

Thanks

How long are you waiting after changing the host to be monitored by the proxy. Take note that the proxy won't know about the host until the server refreshes its configuration cache and the proxy must refresh its cache after that. With default settings, that can take up to an hour (if I remember right).

Edit: just verified that time in the documentation. By default, both active and passive proxies get config updates every hour. Take a look at the "ConfigFrequency" setting for active proxies in zabbix_proxy.conf and ProxyConfigFrequency for passive proxies in zabbix_server.conf

Problem solved.

It was something related to name.

Thanks everybody.

Hi Tiago,

I'm having the same problem.
What do you mean by name related?

Thanks!
