zabbix_agent port change

[leonardomachado]

How do I change the tcp port that zabbix agent will listen?

Using: zabbix 2.0.1

ps: ListenPort=10040 parameter was not accepted.

thks.

what do you mean "was not accepted"?
did you restart the agent after changing the port? did you instruct zabbix server to access that specific host on the new port?

0siris,


# sbin/zabbix_agent -c etc/zabbix_agentd.conf
zabbix_agent [3864]: unknown parameter [ListenPort] in config file [etc/zabbix_agentd.conf], line 2


# cat etc/zabbix_agentd.conf
Server=10.7.5.220
ListenPort=10040

[tchjts1]

what happens when you run ./zabbix_agentd -c etc/zabbix_agentd.conf ?


If you are using zabbix_agent on purpose, then these steps apply.

Step 7

Configure /etc/inetd.conf

If you plan to use zabbix_agent instead of the recommended zabbix_agentd, the following line must be added:

zabbix_agent stream tcp nowait.3600 zabbix /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agent

Restart inetd

shell> killall -HUP inetd

Modify default settings in configuration files

I will use zabbix_agentd.

Thnks a lot!
