Getting list of active checks failed. Will retry after 60 seconds

[pasqu]

Hi all, I use Zabbix 1.4.5 and I have a problem with the agent on the Zabbix server. I the log I see:
Timeout while answering request
Getting list of active checks failed. Will retry after 60 seconds

I have checked the IP and hostname, I try also to setup the zabbix agent with external ip instead to localhost.

anyone know what is the problem?

Thanks

hi rico,
change your agent debug level to and restart the agent.
you will then have a lot more information to debug your problem.

Possible Solution

Verify that you can ping the Zabbix server using the address listed in your agent configuration file.

Verify that the name in the configuration file matches the name of the Host in Zabbix. If it doesn't match, the server won't send down the check list.
