DM: Strange triggers synchronization

[Alain Ganuchaud]

Hello,

I am facing a strange behaviour in a DM network. We modified some triggers descriptions on the child by web frontend and the modifications moved to master after some time. Nice, but the old descriptions were synchronized on the master, not the new ones we configured ... OOoops. OK, I tried it with mysql, same problem.

Before modification, master is on the left, child on the right, two triggers on the child ended with 2mi to be replaced with 2min


After modification, master on the left has been badly updated with the old description, child on the right is now OK. The same behaviour could be reproduced in the other way.


Conclusion
- I do not see the same configuration for the child, from the child or from the master.
- When I changed the configuration on the child, the master gets the old configuration for the child. This is true in the opposite way.

I do not understand this behaviour, can someone clarify or tell me if it is a bug? or a new load balancing technology ...?

Thanks for help,
Alain

Master and Child Configurations:
Linux Debian Lenny
Zabbix 1.8.3
MYSQL 5.0.51

Really, no idea?

I did some additional tests, I thought Configuration Cache could be the reason why. I stopped zabbix servers on both ends and did the mysql reconfiguration again (as described in previous mail), restarted the servers .... I got the same result. It is not stange, it is magic!

Thanks for help,
Alain

The problem came from character set, when zabbix tables are latin1, synchronization between master and child corrupts the datas on one side when datas include special characters like é à ù and so on ... I converted the tables to utf8, no more corruption even with special characters. Dev team, i you think this a bug, I am ready to log one.

Thanks
Alain
