windows agent active check

[nelteren]

I installed zabbix 1.6.4 fresh on ubuntu 9.0.4
All the linux agents work fine (local and remote)
The windows agent in the local network work fine

But I want to monitor most of the server (and some clients) behind NAT.
So I want to let the agent traps the data

The agent runs on xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
On the zabbix server I do a tcpdump host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx port 10051

16:48:41.244153 IP xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.20338 > 172.16.10.6.zabbix_trap: S 1730531398:1730531398(0) win 65535 <mss 1452,nop,nop,sackOK>
16:48:41.244201 IP 172.16.10.6.zabbix_trap > xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.20338: S 2532579925:2532579925(0) ack 1730531399 win 5840 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK>
16:48:41.275053 IP xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.20338 > 172.16.10.6.zabbix_trap: . ack 1 win 65535
16:48:41.275124 IP xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.20338 > 172.16.10.6.zabbix_trap: P 1:6(5) ack 1 win 65535

So the data is comming in.

What do I wrong??

If it is behind a NAT router then you might have to do s few things. I have read that you can change the "Server=" to the IP of your NAT router and that would work, but I haven't tried it myself and could be way off! (Note you might not be able to use active checks with this method.)

The other method might be to use a Zabbix Proxy or Node on the other side of that NAT router. The difference and uses of each can be found in the Zabbix manual

There maybe more things on the network side you can try if none of these work, but you might ultimately end up creating some wild routing and port forwarding.
