host agent data not displayed on Zabbix Server

[Zaf]

Hi all,
I'm new to Zabbix. I've installed the Zabbix server on an AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance and I have installed an agent on my MacBook at home. The server and agent processes are all running. The connectivity between the server and the agent seems to be fine:

On the server:

zabbix_get -s [MYIP] -p 10053 -k system.uptime
246490

On the agent host:

Zabairs-MBP:~ zabairzafar$ zabbix_sender -z [MYSERVERIP] -s HOSTNAME -k KEY -o VALUE -vv

zabbix_sender [64915]: DEBUG: answer [{"response":"success","info":"processed: 0; failed: 1; total: 1; seconds spent: 0.000059"}]

Response from "[MYSERVERIP]:10051": "processed: 0; failed: 1; total: 1; seconds spent: 0.000059"

sent: 1; skipped: 0; total: 1

.......response seems to be a "success". However, I'm not sure what "faile: 1" means?

I can also successfully telnet to the server 10051 port from the agent host.

However, The server shows no data collected from the agent host:



Any ideas how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks,
Zaf

It's all working I assigned the necessary templates via Configuration>Hosts, click on host and click configuration, click on the template tab and assign template(s).

However, I'm not sure what "faile: 1" means?

It means that sending failed...Have you defined all those needed HOSTNAMEs and KEYs you are trying to send data for?
