[dimes]

Hi,

I've this problem Get value from agent failed: ZBX_TCP_READ() failed [Connection reset by peer] and dont know how to fix it. Can anyone show me how to do it step by step ? I forgot to say that i get this message where the availibility is and Z is red.

Well, first of all you have to make Z green
Probably you have to configure your agent

Hello,

I have the same problem too.
I monitor the agent over a zabbix_proxy. All works fine till this morning.
I have restarted the agent and I have also restarted the proxy but it seems that the agent could not connect.

Get value from agent failed: ZBX_TCP_READ() failed [Connection reset by peer]
And the "Z" is still red.

After this message the "Z" goes to green. But it takes several hours till this moment.

So why it takes so long till the agent can be connect from the proxy system?
And is it normal, when a host is monitored by a proxy, sometimes I see in the hosts list "proxyserver:hostname" and sometimes I only see "hostname"?

best regards

zabbix proxy solution

Hello,

for your information. I think I have found the solution for my problem. I have used a discovery rule on the zabbix server which included the monitored hosts which are monitored through a proxy system.

After I have excluded this systems from the discovery rule it works fine.
