Zabbix Agent is not responding for the Zabbix server

[akamel]

Dears,
I have ZABBIX server installed a year now. Now I tried to set agent on new server running opensuse 11.1 but unfortunately it's not working.

After my troubleshooting I found it strange on the Zabbix agent server


netstat -lap
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 *:vpps-qua *:* LISTEN 20845/naf
tcp 1 0 *:34784 *:* LISTEN 7726/xinetd
tcp 0 0 SYGMA-MSX1:zabbix-agent *:* LISTEN -

tcp 0 0 169.254.64.3:sip *:* LISTEN 20904/gis

Till now the server can't see the agent up, I believe Zabbix agrent is not appearing right in the netstat.

Please HELP !

SElinux?
iptables?

[akamel]

Thanks. Can you provide the "HOW TO" for both?
I mean the rules to enable the agent and how to port them in the firewall.

SElinux disabling

iptables

4. open ip of zabbix server and port 10050 of iptables, and restart iptables
vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
add following two lines:
-A INPUT -s {ip of zabbix server} -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10050 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s {ip of zabbix server} -p udp -m udp --dport 10050 -j ACCEPT
restart iptables

Thanks again. OpenSue is different. I used to setup agents on CentOS like this way. Also is it a must to restart the firewall?

[aib]

After changing iptables you have to restart iptables.
If you are asking about firewall - I have no idea.
