Agent sends AAAA queries when operating system IPv6 support is disabled

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      When using Server=host.domain in zabbix_agentd.conf, the agent sends AAAA queries without IPv6 available on the operating system.

      IPv6 totally disabled using:

      • Kernel command line: ipv6.disable=1
      • sysctl.conf parameters:
        net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
        net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
        net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
      • ifconfig -a

      Recompiling the agent without the IPv6 support, the AAAA queries don“t occur anymore.

      But if the agent is compiled with IPv6 support (using Debian/Ubuntu package) and IPv6 is disabled on the operating system, AAAA queries are sent anyway, doing extra load on DNS servers.
