Host information was changed? No Changes in history

[asteroidyorkton]

Why does Zabbix report Host Information was changed when updating zabbix agent version? I updated zabbix agent on some hosts from 2.2 to 3.0 and i get host info changed alerts.

Verified history of the host information and there is no changes.

Any idea why this happens?

I just updated an agent from 2.4.7 -> 3.0.4, and the only trigger I got was for the version of the agent changing. Nothing for changing host information.

I guess its only for me then?
Planning to upgrade a lot of 1.8 agents soon. But some issues with upgrade agents manually, Once i find a fix I'll upgrade all agents.. I'll see if I can find out why it triggers for me.

Are you *only* upgrading the agents, or are you applying any other updates at the same time, such as kernel patches, etc? Any rebooting as part of the process?

Only agent upgrades. No updates nor I reboot.

Same here. Happens because Zabbix 3 reports system.uname of windows servers differently:

Zabbix 2.2:
Windows HOSTNAME 6.3.9600 Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard x64
Zabbix 3:
Windows HOSTNAME 6.3.9600 Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition x64

How does the warning goes away? I Ack-d the change, but its status is still warning..
