net.tcp.service agent items do not work as test items: server sends the test rather than requesting it from the agent

    • Priority: Trivial
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 7.2.14
    • Component/s: None

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Create a simple Zabbix agent template item such as net.tcp.service[ftp,,21]
      2. Click the Test button
      3. Enter the host address and (in this case) port 21
      4. Get value and test

      Result:
      Test will fail. A packet capture run on either the server/proxy conducting the test or on the host being tested will show this FTP request:
      `checks","data":[{"key":"net.tcp.service[ftp,,21]","timeout":5}]}`

      The FTP server will unsurprisingly return a syntax error and give up on the connection.
      Expected:
      The test will be sent to the zabbix agent on the indicated host just as it will be once it's a regular monitoring item and will succeed or fail on the merits of whether the tested item is healthy.
