[1.4.1] FreeBSD 6.1: zabbix_get Problem ?

[NOB]

Hi,

I observed a very interesting thing:

I do a zabbix_get -s i11 -k 'perf_counter[\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time]'
The result is zabbix_get [25519]: Timeout while executing operation.


So far, so good.
I enlarged the timeout for zabbix_get to 30 seconds and added a few debug
statements in the agent.

And the corresponding zabbix_agentd.log shows:

  3692:20070815:160601 Processing request.
  3692:20070815:160601 In check_security()
  3692:20070815:160601 Before process_listener.
  3692:20070815:160601 In process_listener()
  3692:20070815:160631 Requested [perf_counter[\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time]]
  3692:20070815:160631 After init_result [perf_counter[\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time]]
  3692:20070815:160632 After process [perf_counter[\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time]]
  3692:20070815:160632 Sending back [1.926838]
  3692:20070815:160632 After process listener.

That means, the result is send back, as soon as the 30 seconds
elapsed and the connection was closed.


Where is the problem ?

I guess, that the agent is waiting for a complete request and
the zabbix_get thinks it has send one.

Cause found: NEW vs. OLD Protocol

Hi,

as soon as I replace the call (new protocol)

 if( SUCCEED == (ret = zbx_tcp_send(&s, request)) )

by the call (old protocol)

if( SUCCEED == (ret = zbx_tcp_send_raw(&s, request)) )

it works !

So what to do ?

Either the zabbix_agentd (win32) is broken or the zabbix_get (FreeBSD 6.1).

Norbert.

Please give me versions of zabbix_agentd and zabbix_get.

Please give me versions of zabbix_agentd and zabbix_get.

Of course.

Here you go:

zabbix_get: 1.4.1 (29-June-2007)
zabbix_agentd: pre-1.4.2 R4573 64-bit

More data:

zabbix_get: 1.4.1 (as above)
zabbix_agentd.exe: 1.4.1, 64-bit shows same problem
zabbix_agentd.exe: 1.4, 32-bit works fine

zabbix_get (my version with the change mentioned above) works fine
with all the agents and that's what implemented in zabbix_server 1.4.1.

Now, the question is: is it 1.4 vs 1.4.1 or 32 vs. 64-bit

Hi,

after reading this post
I can imagine that I was hit by exactly this bug.
FreeBSD 6.1 is running on Sparc 64 !

Yes, you are absolutely right! The problem will be fixed today.
