Zabbix W32 Agent and Zabbix on Debian do not work with passive checks

[tzi]

Hi!

Nearly all of my clients are behind some sort of NAT / firewall. I want to configure the Zabbix Agent on W32 to send the data from itself to the public, reachable Zabbix Server (push). I configured the client like this:

Server=xyz
ServerPort=10051
# Need to setup unique Hostname!!!
Hostname=somehost
#ListenPort=10050
#ListenIP=127.0.0.1
StartAgents=5
#RefreshActiveChecks=120
DisableActive=0
EnableRemoteCommands=1

I also added the "somehost" - host using the webinterface to the database. After some time I see a status of "2" under "Host status" and on the status page it says " Cannot connect to [somehost] [Connection refused]". Sure that it cannot connect - the host is behind a firewall! The host should send the data to the zabbix server (push)!

What do I wrong? Any ideas?

TIA,
Thomas

If i understand correctly you have to replace "zabbix agent" with "zabbix agent (active)" in your server template, otherwise it will try to connect out.
'Active' means connection from client to server.
