Hello People,
Intro:
I currently have 2 zabbix servers. One is about to be dispatched to another site.
I want to be able to do distributed monitoring. So i followed the zabbix distributed monitoring manual.
What i did:
I followed the first part because i only got one master and one child server.
- On both servers i installed zabbix and edited the zabbix_server.conf so that the master has NodeID=1 and the child NodeID=2
- Then i did something diffrent on the master then stated in the documentation: I converted the database data by cd-ing to cd /etc/init.d folder and running ./zabbix_server -n 1 -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
- I did the same thing on the child only using 2 instead of one in the command.
- Then i added the master node to the child node and the child node to the master node. I specified child or master depending on the server. Also i specified the IP adres. I could not specify the timezone, and history and trend timing. Then i saved everything.
- The last thing i didn't know for sure. I dont know what they mean with "Start Master Node" and "Start Child node". The servers are obviously turned on.
The problem:
I also added a host for testing at the child node. A host with a zabbix agent thats already succesfully monitored by the master node. Just for testing. But somehow the child node is not gathering data or syncing with the master node! It also doesnt give me an error.
Both servers are in a lan network and can ping eachother.
Any help? Please?
