    Discovery and Create Hosts

    I'm new to Zabbix so forgive me if its obvious to the community...

    Outside of the RHES5 Linux Zabbix server and agent, I've got two AIX 5.2 and one windows xp agent (I assume) are correctly configured, but only the 'ZABBIX_Server' showed up in the Monitoring -> Hosts panel. Is it neccessary to add a host ('create host') when you'd think the discovery should apply it to the appropriate group ('AIX', 'Windows Servers', etc).

    IF I use 'create host', then never show up as available, and the Monitoring->Discovery page doesn't find them as Zabbix agents either.

    As a test if I change the port on the remote agents from 10050 to 10051, and restart the agent, then I start seeing "connection refused messages' in the server log as I would expect. So, I know there is valid communication.

    Here is an iteration from my agent log file:
    Code:
