Zabbix interface status remains Unknown

[LetsSee]

Hi,

I am fairly new to Zabbix, I used it before to monitor some home devices and to experiment with it a bit to see if it would be a usefull tool to implement at work, and it is.

It's the first time I'm trying agents though, and I can't seem to get the Availability to green. After updating from 6.0 LTS to 6.2.1 I do see Active checks green, but the second interface remains unknown.



When I try to telnet from the Zabbix server to the server I get connected, but after a few seconds it closes the connection.

telnet 10.155.40.174 10050
Trying 10.155.40.174...
Connected to 10.155.40.174.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

On the server itself I get the error: Cannot process incoming connection: read tcp 10.155.40.174:10050->10.155.40.100:38924: i/o timeout (the port after the .100 address is dynamic so changes).

I found online some solutions like changing the zabbix_agent2.conf that server=<ip of the zabbix server>. I did that, but that didn't seem to help.

Is there anything else I can try? Or is this normal behavior?

I have this on the 2 servers where I installed agent2 on. Zabbix server itself does show green availability (on 127.0.0.1=10050).

Hello,

Has anyone been able to figure this out? I am having same problem with every server I install agent2 on.

Finally figured out I needed to link a template before it would change from unknown to active.

Thanks, helped me to solve the same issue. If non of the template or Items in a template use "zabbix agent" as type but the inter face is still configured for the host with port 10050, you will be able to reproduce the interface "unknown" status.

How do you mean? Because my servers have templates linked to it, but maybe I am overlooking something.

Did anyone solve this? I'm show this after upgrading to zabbix-agent2. Active seems to be good to go but still showing 'unknown' for me. Nothing in the agent or server logs about it.
