Distibuted monitoring : child node host availability

[levo01]

Hello,

I have upgraded from 1.8.5 to 2.0 and configure zabbix to run with a distibuted monitoring.

I have a master node (central) and a child node (child). When I create a host from the central interface it is working well (with the good agent configuration -@IP of server) whereas from the child interface the host availability is grey (@IP of the child server).

However I can run the zabbix_get command : ./zabbix_get -s 163.187.242.55 -p 10050 -k "system.hostname" where 163.187.242.55 is the new host's IP.

Just to help some people, firstly it was not working for the central node too, when I add the hostname with the ip adress to the /etc/hosts file, it had worked.

If you have any suggestion or idea to solve this problem.

Thank you.

Up please !!

Hello ,

I have reinstalled all the configuration and have still the same problem.

Is there any special instruction to add/modify in order to configure a new host from a child node within a distributed monitoring ?

Again I achieved to monitor a new host with the master but not with the child node.

here are logs :

The host (hostname : zabbix_server_child) monitored by the child node :

PS :I configure the new host thanks to the front-end of the master node, I can choose which node to use (master or child).

Hi,

maybe you have a similiar problem as I had. Try to remove the zabbix.conf.php, restart apache and login again. It solved the problem for me.

[levo01]

It is OK

Thanks for your reply michelis,

I have found a solution.

I install a front end on the child node too and everything is working now.
