Hello,

We are having a problematic about the hostname on the zabbix_agentd.conf

For some of our hosts, the hostname in zabbix is different than the %computername%.

Two different case :
Either the Hostname is totally différent , either it doesn' t respect the sensitive case.

In order to get threw this , we wanted to include the hostname in the agentd.conf from an include file that would be created directly from the zabbix server.

Like that : action ->
type hostname=

>zabbixname.conf

then in the agentd.conf :
#HOSTNAME=....
include=zabbixname.conf

Like that we are sur to have the correct hostame configured for the active check.

The problem is that the agent will not start if one of the include file is not present on the system., which is note really secure , agree in.

Have you any advices on this subject , is the include file verification will be still implemented on future version ?
Do we have to recompile the agent ?
Or have you another idea regarding to this problem.

cordially ,
congratulations again for the 1.8 new functionnalities and performances.
