Hosts discovered by proxy not added

[r0k5t4r]

Hi, I have two rules in place for discovery. Both rules are working. I can lookup the log files on the zabbix server and proxy. And the IP ranges are beeing scanned. On the zabbix clients I can see that they are responding with value "system.uname".

I added an action to automatically add discovered hosts with a zabbix client. For the hosts discovered by the zabbix server this is working ok. Except that {HOSTNAME} and {IPADDRESS} are shown as UNKNOWN and I receive notifications again and again for hosts that have already been added??? Maybe I'm missing something here. Hosts discovered by the proxy are not added.

Discovery action for zabbix server:

Host ip = "172.20.100.1-254"
Service type = "ZABBIX agent"
Discovery status = "Up"
Received value like "Windows"

Discovery action for zabbix proxy:

Host ip = "10.1.0.1-254"
Service type = "ZABBIX agent"
Discovery status = "Up"
Received value like "SunOS"

The only difference is the OS for the actions.

Any ideas?

No one? If more infos are needed, I'm happy to provide them.

I did some more testing and it seems to be a problem with the SunOS zabbix agent. Using a windows agent works as expected.

I will test more workstations with Sun Solaris 8 and 10 next week.

I had linked the sunos machine against a newly created template. This was
not working somehow.

Ok the hosts are now appearing, but the status is shown as unknown...

After a while the status was showing up. There seems to be a bit of delay when machines are monitored by a proxy.
