XMLWordPrintable

    • Icon: Problem report Problem report
    • Resolution: Won't fix
    • Icon: Trivial Trivial
    • None
    • 7.0.9, 7.2.3
    • Agent (G), Agent2 (G)
    • Ubuntu 22.04, FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE-p1

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Deploy Zabbix Agent 2 version 7.0.9 or 7.2.3 on an Ubuntu 22.04 machine or Agent 7.0.9 on a FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE-p1 machine.
      2. In the Agent conf file, configure Server and ServerActive as a CNAME of the Zabbix Server.
      3. The Zabbix Agent (2) service will generate multiple DNS requests for the IP of the Zabbix Server every second.  Stopping the Zabbix Agent (2) service will stop the requests.

      Result:

      ```
      Expected: A reasonable number of DNS requests would be sent, and/or the results would be cached.
