Newbie: Not collecting data

[mclaborn]

Zabbix 3.4.11 on Ubuntu 16.04
mysql 5.7

Please forgive my newbie ignorance - I must have missed something. The install and setup seemed to work fine. I wanted to just get a feel for the UI so I enabled the pre-installed "Zabbix server" host. It has a number of items that are all enabled. But Monitoring -> Latest data does not show any data.

The server with Zabbix also has the agent running on port 10500, which is the port configured on the host. Netstat shows a bunch of connections from random ports on localhost to port 10500 on localhost, so I assume that is the server connecting to the agent to gather data. I didn't see anything in the server log that seemed relevant.

The only changes I made to zabbix_server.conf were for the DB connection: DBHost, DBName, DBUser, DBPassword.

The "zabbix server" in the database may be disabled. Did you install and configure the zabbix agent on your server? Check the logs for both for errors.

I believe that "Zabbix server" is enabled. See attached screen shot. The agent is installed and running. The only errors I see are a bunch of "Cannot adopt OID..." in the server log which I think have to do with SNMP, which I don't think applies in this situation.

Any help on this? I'd really like to use Zabbix but I can't even get off the ground!

Did you set the filter?
After entering the Latest data screen, did you input to the Host groups or Hosts and click Apply?

[mclaborn]

Wow, do I feel stupid! I wrongly assumed that some data would show without applying in filter.

Commentary: "Filter" in this context is a misnomer, as it implies limiting the data shown, but no data is shown by default. "Selection Criteria" might be a better term.
It would also be useful if the "Specify some filter condition to see the values." message that shows up when you click Apply with no criteria was bigger and in red.
