    Zabbix only able to monitor hosts via IP, not DNS

    I am just starting to use the Zabbix install put in place seven months ago, it is running Zabbix 1.8.5.

    When I set up a new host and specify a connection via IP address, monitoring works just fine, but when I try to monitor via DNS name, I get the error
    Get value from agent failed: gethost() failed for address '$MY_FQDN' [Success]
    Dropping to command line, I can see the host just fine, name resolution works and spits back the right information. Zabbix just can't query.

    What's my best course of action here?
