Hi,

I always assumed zabbix agent reads the config files in zabbix_agent[d2].d in alphabetical order. Therefore I included some files in it:

01_allowKeys.conf (includes all commonly used keys which should be allowed)

50_xxx..conf (special UserParameter and appropriate AllowKey - on client basis)

51_local.conf (includes my local tests before deploying, including AllowKey=...)

99_denyKey.conf (includes only denyKey=*)

Now, changing to Zabbix Agent 2 I realized that this does not work anymore. Apparently, it only worked by chance with Zabbix Agent 1! I found the online docs stating that the files are not read in alphabetical order by design. But also I found, that the order of AllowKey and DenyKey matters (which I fully understand)! It would be very helpful if you would include a note in the conf file! In long term I would really appreciate it, if the alphabetical order would be honoured!

 

Best regards,
