    Agents not sending back data? ...

    Hi there,

    I have approximately 40 servers added to zabbix. For some reason, about half of these machines are not sending back data. I noticed in the queue that the next scheduled check for services on the machines not sending back data is "01.01.1970 02:00:00". Why 1970? The unix date on these machines are fine, as well as on the zabbix server.

    There is also 2500 items in the queue. I have manually deleted the problem machines and added them back again, in hope of it clearing the queue, but to no avail. Zabbix server is running, but items in the qeueu is not being processed.

    I have also changed the "type" of all items to "ZABBIX agent (active)". On the "client"-side, I have configured the agent(d) as follows:

    ################################################

    Server=######

    # Server port for sending active checks
    ServerPort=10051

    # Unique hostname. Required for active checks.
    Hostname=hostname.com

    # Listen port. Default is 10050
    ListenPort=10050

    # IP address to bind agent
    # If missing, bind to all available IPs

    ListenIP=###########

    # Number of pre-forked instances of zabbix_agentd.
    # Default value is 5
    # This parameter must be between 1 and 16
    StartAgents=5

    # How often refresh list of active checks. 2 minutes by default.
    RefreshActiveChecks=120

    # Disable active checks. The agent will work in passive mode listening server.
    DisableActive=0
    EnableRemoteCommands=1

    ##################################

    I'm starting to pull my hair out. Please assist if at all you can.

      I ran into this issue and went back and deleted all the files from the install. Then I untared, recompiled, installed, reconfigured and it works now. I might have missed something from switching from 1.1.x to 1.4 since I didnt upgrade. None the less its running... now to see what else doesnt work.

        Ensure host name is correct in agent conf, exactly as in server, including simple or FQDN format (maybe even caps?) so if already in server as server.domain.local, can't be just 'server' in agent conf
