It is a very nice howto.... i try configure my enviroment from scratch. After start zabbix server, into log appear this lince.

And this strange line

Zabbix server (master and child node) works on port 5001, not on port 10051. Under node (master and child) configuration i have setup port 5001

This is my zabbix_server.conf file ...

Another test

Hello...

I try create another database from scratch...

#>mysql
CREATE DATABASE distmon

and create schema and data

mysql -p -uzabbix_user distmon < /tmp/zabbix-1.4.4/create/schema/mysql.sql
mysql -p -uzabbix_user distmon < /tmp/zabbix-1.4.4/create/data/data.sql
mysql -p -uzabbix_user distmon < tmp/zabbix-1.4.4/create/data/images_mysql.sql

And then convert table using

#>zabbix_server -n 1 -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
Converting tables .................................................. ................ done.

Conversion completed.

Finally.... start zabbix.... no change... the same problem ...

Question about distributed monitoring.

Hello, actually i am planning to use Zabbix on distributed monitoring mode and i have a doubt: the TCP connection is established from the child node to the master node or the opposite? I tried to find this everywhere (including the manual) unsuccessfully. I do need this information because its important for firewall folks.

Sorry to post another doubt on this topic. I did it for saving space for other ones in first page.

Thanks in advance.

I think it goes in both directions. If you look at the logs it looks like the parent node is pushing to the child node and the child node is pushing to the parent node. I don't know for sure, but you could put Wireshark on the system and find out. Just be sure to filter for the remote node or you'll see too much stuff. :-)

Hello ...

IMHO comunication is bidirection.... from master to child... and from child to master.

Check documentation, at section 12.7.x
