Problem with Solaris Agent auto-registration

[jeffreys]

First post on the forums - and please bear with me a bit as I'm only recently into Zabbix.

We're trying to get a number of Solaris systems into our Zabbix server (2.2.1 agents and server).

Auto-registration seems to work just perfectly for Linux variants and Windows systems (though as a UNIX admin, I'm not as concerned about the Windows boxes).

My issue comes with the solaris hosts we're trying to register. Regardless if I try to name match a system or metadata match the system.uname string like "SunOS" - none of our Solaris hosts are able to auto-register with the server. Any thoughts as to something that might be not setup correctly with either the agent configs or the server?

#### server side auto-registration action ####
Auto Host Registration (Solaris) Host name like accuxdb10
Host name like aceuxpds1
Host name like iruxmb10
Add host
Add to host groups: Solaris Servers
Add to host groups: Discovered hosts
Link to templates: Template OS Solaris
Enabled

#### client side zabbix_agentd.conf ####
Hostname=<contains hostname>
Server=<IP Address of our zabbix server>
Include=/etc/zabbix/conf.d/
PidFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid
LogFile=/var/log/zabbix_agentd.log
LogFileSize=100
Timeout=30

On the systems that I tested metadata, I had added this into the file as well:

HostMetadataItem=system.uname


Any help or direction you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry, I pretty sure that you already check it, but do you remember how that part of documentation named?
Active agent auto-registration

And one more citation from that "manual"

 Make sure you have the Zabbix server identified in the agent configuration file - zabbix_agentd.conf

[B]ServerActive[/B]=10.0.0.1

Instead of that you described keyword Server which is work only for Passive checks.

did the trick

adding in that ServerActive allowed it to register on either a name match - and when I put in the metadata - simply based on OS.

TYVM - it just saved me having to duplicate 60 hosts by hand versus letting them all register into the Discovered Hosts group. At least there, they're base monitored until I put them into a better group definition.

Thanks again and have a great weekend

You too!
