Problem with adding hosts through auto-discovery
I'm trying my hand at adding a bunch of hosts through the Discovery feature, but I'm having some problems getting the hosts auto-added to Zabbix. I've already installed all the Zabbix agents to about 25 computers (I used the Zabbix Agent Installer and pushed it out to the hosts). That installed everything and setup the conf file. I double checked a few of them to make sure it did it correctly and it seems that it did. I even setup a host manually to make sure that it worked.
I setup the discovery rule per the example in the manual.
This is the Action:
The only things different are the group that I want them to go into and I want it to send me a message when it happens.
I see a bunch of similar messaged to these in my zabbix_server.log:
The hostnames are correct and I can even ping them from the server using that hostname. I have made sure that all firewalls on these computers are disabled. Just to be sure I even setup a ICMP Ping for the same IP range as another discovery check (not on the same name as the above one). I set them for 600 seconds and two hours later, nothing is showing up in either one. I have used discovery before for some network printers and they all show up. I don't know how long it took them to show up but these are taking much longer than 10 minutes (600 seconds) to do so. Just to be sure, I let it run over the weekend and it did finally show all the computers in Discovery, but no host was added.
Am I doing something wrong here? Is anybody else having the same problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I intend to eventually monitor even more hosts and would very much like to not have to add them manually.
Thanks in advance!
I setup the discovery rule per the example in the manual.
Code:
IP Range: 172.18.100.1-255 Checks: ZABBIX agent "system.uname"
Code:
Conditions: Service type = "ZABBIX agent" Discovery status = "Up" Received value = "Windows" Operations: Send message to User "jason" Add to group "Unassigned Hosts" Link to template "Template_Windows"
I see a bunch of similar messaged to these in my zabbix_server.log:
Code:
15422:20090316:080352 Send list of active checks to [172.18.100.42] failed: host [cnt1293] not found 15418:20090316:080352 Send list of active checks to [172.18.100.31] failed: host [cnt1417] not found 15416:20090316:080352 Send list of active checks to [172.18.100.77] failed: host [cnt1231] not found 15420:20090316:080356 Send list of active checks to [172.18.100.55] failed: host [cnt1695] not found "etc ..."

I do, however, now have a list of discovered agents, but no added host. Is there perhaps a parameter in the config file or setup that I might have missed?
