Jabber client in Zabbix does not check SRV records to find the jabber server

    • Type: Incident report
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Priority: Major
    • 1.8.6
    • Affects Version/s: 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3, 1.4.4, 1.4.5, 1.6
    • Component/s: Server (S)
    • None
    • Environment:
      Zabbix 1.6.5 running on Debian Lenny (the Squeeze/testing package was recompiled on Lenny early september)

      I defined a media type Jabber/XMPP with a user and password.
      I notice that actions remain with status "In progress", and I get no messages through.

      Running tcpdump show me the zabbix server tries to contact the host which has an A record for the domainpart of the user, instead of checking SRV records.
      In this case, the Zabbix jabber user is user on a Google Apps Domain. One clearly sees the connection going to the webserver of this domain instead of going to Google.

      Seems like a major bug to me which strangely enough has been around for probaly allways? There are other reports in foraof this, back in 2007 at least.

      Please note, ZBX-487 might be the same issue?
