Agentd Connection Lost

[Kso]

Hi ,


From time to time, the connection from Agent (x64) is lost.

Get value from agent failed. Error: ZBX_TCP_READ() failed [Connection reset by peer]

I would like to restart automatically the agent service
I can check the server is not listening anymore by verifying the tcp port:
zabbix_agentd.exe -t net.tcp.port[HOSTNAME,10050]
if 0 -> agent is down
or by using simple check tcp,HOSTNAME,10050
I can add a trigger to alert
I can restart the service on the windows command line or script
net stop "ZABBIX Agent"
net start "ZABBIX Agent"

As the agent in this state is disabled, i think to use external checks.
But Does anybody know how can I Run the script to restart the service from the linux server Or is there another solution to restart automatically agentd ?

"Error: ZBX_TCP_READ() failed [Connection reset by peer]" Doesn't always mean that agent is down.

If you want to restart smth on linux/BSD-like systems - it's usually distribution-dependant and you might see some sample scripts for different distributions, that come with zabbix. You can connect via ssh and run smth like "/etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd restart" on Debian/Ubuntu for example

Thank you teferi for your reply.

I monitor Windows machine from a linux server.
The problem is that when the connection is lost
between my windows agent and the linux zabbix server
i want to restart windows zabbix agent service in order to
recreate the connection.

From the linux zabbix server i can verify that the windows agent is listening on port 10050.
When i detect that it is no more listening, i would like to restart the windows agent automatically.

Is there a way to do it ?

Unless you have some tools that can do it via RDP or smth alike - I do not know how to perform what you want =) Sorry =)
