Receiving Active Agent Data but no passive

[[email protected]]

Hi everybody,

I just started using Zabbix and ran into some problems. I have an agent running on a RasperryPi and a Zabbix Server within the same network. To get the CPU temperature to the zabbix server I use a script that is called by zabbix agent. I receive this data in the server frontend without problems. But when using the Linux OS Template on the same host I receive no data at all. Further more i get a red ZBX button in the host configuration on the frontend:

"Received empty response from Zabbix Agent at [ip]. Assuming that agent dropped connection because of access permissions."

My zabbix-agentd.conf looks as follows (removed all comments):

PidFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid
LogFile=/var/log/zabbix-agent/zabbix_agentd.log
LogFileSize=1
DebugLevel=3
Server=<IPv6>, zabbix.example.com
ListenIP=0.0.0.0
ServerActive=<IPv6>, zabbix.example.com
Hostname=RaspberryPi
UserParameter=raspberrypi.sh[*],/usr/local/share/zabbix/externalscripts/raspberrypi.sh $1

Do I need another agent to perform the passive requests? Or am I missing something in the configuration?
Thanks for your help!

Hello,

Your configuration seems to be fine.
You should check the firewall of your Raspberry and check if the port 10050 is open.

I concur with jeremyverda, Zabbix agent items talk to the host on port 10050. If memory serves me correctly, the all the builtin templates use Zabbix Agent items (not Zabbix Agent Active).
