Ok this problem has completely gotten the best of me.
I am monitoring 23 hosts on our external Zabbix server (monitoring hosts not located in our network). However it seems that the status value is not updating for 20 servers, only for 3 servers.
There is an error on the servers that are not updating that says: "Not supported by agent". The log files on these machines do not state the reason why.
This is what I know:
The 3 servers that are working have the following in common:
same kernel (2.6.8-2-686-smp)
same subnet
All 23 servers are debian machines running a variety different kernels (2.4.25, 2.6.8 & 2.6.17). Other servers running 2.6.8 in the same subnet are not reporting the status value as well.
The zabbix_agentd was compiled on a 2.6.17 (the zabbix server) with --enable-static flag. This binary has been distributed to all the 23 servers.
All servers are now running agent 1.1.3, however this problem was also present in agent 1.1.2 and the precompiled agent (ver 1.1) on zabbix.com.
What am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix this. RIght now if the agent were to be disabled or the machine were to go down, all items that the zabbix server is monitoring (including simple checks such as ping) show as "not supported" thus I don't get paged when a machine goes down. I can't do any SNMP related checks as our multiple firewalls wont allow it (had to go through great lengths to get port 10050 and 10051 opened).
