    how to check if zabbix agent 'correctly' send Host MetaData?

    Hello all.
    last night, I experienced strange situation.
    most of my servers are running on the cloud, but some of servers are physical machine.
    and here's the problem : cloud servers are automatically registered by discovery rule and 'auto registration' action, but NOT physical machines

    after some hours of search, I removed 'host MetaData like' option from auto registration rule, and finally, zabbix server added my physical machines...

    so I suspect that zabbix agent 'may be' not send host MetaData, but I couldn't find any workround for this.

    Is there any method to check if zabbix agent correctly send HostMetaData?

    thanks for help

    PS:
    Of course I added host metadata into zabbix_agent.conf like this :
    Code:
    # Mandatory: no
    # Default:
    HostnameItem=system.hostname
    
    ### Option: HostMetadata
    #	Optional parameter that defines host metadata.
    #	Host metadata is used at host auto-registration process.
    #	An agent will issue an error and not start if the value is over limit of 255 characters.
    #	If not defined, value will be acquired from HostMetadataItem.
    #
    # Mandatory: no
    # Range: 0-255 characters
    # Default:
    HostMetadata=gf365live
Working...
