    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 2.4.1
    • Component/s: Agent (G)
    • Environment:
      zabbix server on Linux VM (appliance), zabbix_agent running on Windows2008R2

      The agent leaves behinds hundreds of connections in TIME_WAIT state. The number of improperly handled connections is massive and increases with the number of requested statistics, with the risk of undermining the stability of the monitored server (ephemeral ports are not infinite).
