I am a little confused on set up of agent initiated item updates........and terminology may be misleading.
All my regular items of type "ZABBIX agent" get polled by the zabbix_server and the zabbix_agentd works like a champ including UserParameters. I (think) this would be implied passive because it is not of type "ZABBIX agent (active)" (not sure what that is)
Now I just want to add Items that will be updated by "zabbix_sender". So I make a ITEM of type "ZABBIX trapper" (I do see that the update interval disappears) and it goes "active" (green)
But when I do a "zabbix_sender Ip.ip.ip.ip 10051 ip.ip.ip.ip key value" NO value gets updated into the item. btw i use same ip's cause zabbix_sender (agent) is on the same system as the zabbix_server.
My zabbix_server.conf is very standard and has
ListenPort=10051
and My zabbix_agentd.conf file is very standard and has
# Server port for sending active checks
ServerPort=10051
# Unique hostname. Required for active checks.
#Hostname=localhost
Hostname=lput15vmschaige
# Listen port. Default is 10050
ListenPort=10050

tcpdump on port 10051 sees all the come backs from the polls (I think) but when I find a settled time and hit return for Either zabbix_sender or even telnet "my local IP" 10051 I see no dump.
2 Questions:
1 - anything obvious I am missing?
2 - what is type "ZABBIX agent (active)" anyway.... it has an update interval, but that has no meaning here right?
I am running 1.1
Thanks
Oh...and What I call Unsolicited updates, is that thought of as "Active Listening"?
