SSH check error: Cannot connect to [127.0.0.1:22]

[uraniumscrap]

I have Zabbix server at host A and Zabbix agent at host B. Zabbix checks sshd at host B:

 18821:20100302:123138.143 Processing request.
 18821:20100302:123138.143 Requested [net.tcp.service[ssh]]
 18821:20100302:123138.144 SSH check error: Cannot connect to [127.0.0.1:22] [Connection refused]
 18821:20100302:123138.144 Sending back [0]

But sshd at host B listens external IP.

In configuration (server, agent) - external IP.

Please, help me.

You are obviously checking SSH with:

net.tcp.service[ssh]

that uses 127.0.0.1 by default.

You can replace it with:

net.tcp.service[ssh,<extenal_IP>]

You can check documentation for more details : http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...l/config/items

Hope this helps

[bashman]

Hi,

I get this error with ssh checks:

Item [<hostname>:ssh.run[test,<hostname>]] error: Cannot connect to SSH server: gethost() failed for address '<hostname>' [Success]

I don't know if I'm doing it well, I don't want to use the Password so I use Public key Authentication method.

I have in 'Public key file' field:

/home/zabbix/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

and in the 'Public key file' field:

/home/zabbix/.ssh/id_rsa

Is this correct?

[bashman]

I only got it to work when I used password.

I only got it to work when I used password.

I got it to work with public key:

Public key file: "id_rsa.pub" instead of the full path.
Private key file: "id_rsa" instead of the full path.
