Remote Server 'empty response'

[johnsmith9874]

Hi,
I have two VMs running under VirtualBox. One is a CentOS server running Zabbix, and the other is a Ubuntu box running just the agent.

On the frontend, I add the host, and then add an item to it, namely CPU usage. When I go into 'hosts' and then 'items', and click on the red 'Z', I get..

Received empty response from Zabbix Agent at [192.168.0.101]. Assuming that agent dropped connection because of access permissions

I can ping to every host, from every host, and can ssh there.

Any help, would be appreciated. By the way: Zabbix 2.0.6.

Thanks.

The "Server" parameter in the agent config file is most likely wrong. It must be set to the ip or fqdn of the zabbix server that queries it.

like mentioned before verify name

also check with telnet if the firewall is open on your host on port 10050


telnet <ip> <port>

Hi,
Curious. In the zabbix_agentd.conf file, I have the Zabbix server IP. So I think, maybe it's a firewall issue? So I change the 'Server' parameter to point to the firewall, and then I get 'connection reset by peer'.
