Zabbix remote commands not working

[kfadia]

hi

I've tried Zabbix remote commands for both windows and linux hosts... It turns out that actions getting triggered, i can check in frontend but in logs zabbix agent never receives any commands to run.

enabled Remote Commands to 1 in zabbix agent conf.

I need to restart a webservice when HTTP 200 fails for that server. Trigger is all set and working fine. but there seems to be no communication between server and agent about command

Any help will be thankful. if need more information let me know

Thanks

If it is still not working it means that in agent setting still you've not changed EnableRemoteCommands=1

And on https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...remote_command
in the middle of the page is :

"Remote commands do not work with active Zabbix agents."

Ohh no I had enabled it...

the issue seemed to be, I am running Zabbix Agent in active mod. So hadn't open port 10050 on agent machine. Once i allowed it in firewall it commands started working fine.

This step is critical for both Windows/Linux machines. as Active agent don't need to worry about firewall.

Did you manage to execute actions on active agents?
What is your network scenario?
Theres is a firewall between your zabbix server and the monitored host?
Does your host has a public ip?

NO I made it to work in Passive//Active mode... have both

Server= and ServerActive= pointing to same zabbix server...

No there's no firewall but both zabbix server and agent are in two different AWS accounts, so had to modify Security Group and windows Firewall. Open inbound port 10050 on windows agent firewall, i think this turns active agent to passive agent.
