Auto Discovery add host doesn't work

[nicolasg]

Hi Guy's

I'm trying to implement Auto discovery to automatically add new discovered hosts to a group but unfortunately I haven't manage to make it work so far.

The discovery rule I have created checks for Zabbix agent "system.hostname" every 60 seconds and the Device uniqueness criteria is also Zabbix agent "system.hostname" .

The hosts are been discovered (usually much more than 60 seconds time period) but none have been added to Zabbix for monitoring.

Action:
Event source : Discovery
Status: Enabled

Action conditions:
Service type = "Zabbix agent"
Discovery status = "Up"
Uptime/Downtime >= "60"


Action operations:
Operation type -> add to group
Group : <GroupName>


Is there something I'm missing here ? Where can I see discovery messages for debugging ?

After couple of hours the host was finally added automatically !

I can't think of changing anything expect that I had deleted another discovery rule that was running and now I have only one...

Another issue I have now is that the host was added with the hostname as hist IP address instead of the system hostname, how can I change that ?

Make sure, that the discovery rules with same IP-Ranges didn't work on different proxies.
During our tests we make this mistake and get curious results.

We are not using any proxy here but thanks for the info.

In most cases discovery works very-very slowly. It's known problem.

Any ideas on this one ?

Try to search on the issue tracker. I recall something similar.
