Description |
The new zabbix_sender behaviour introduced in Steps to reproduce:
Result: $ time zabbix_sender -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf -s test -k test -o 0 -vv zabbix_sender [24249]: DEBUG: answer [{"response":"success","info":"processed: 0; failed: 1; total: 1; seconds spent: 0.000050"}] Response from "gamezabbix-server.svc.oanda.com:10051": "processed: 0; failed: 1; total: 1; seconds spent: 0.000050" zabbix_sender [24250]: Warning: timeout while executing operation sent: 1; skipped: 0; total: 1 real 1m0.030s user 0m0.007s sys 0m0.038s grep -i timeout /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf ### Option: Timeout # Spend no more than Timeout seconds on processing # Timeout=3 Timeout=5 $ grep ServerActive /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf ### Option: ServerActive # Example: ServerActive=127.0.0.1:20051,zabbix.domain,[::1]:30051,::1,[12fc::1] # ServerActive= ServerActive=gamezabbix-server.svc.oanda.com,zabbix.svc.engi.oanda.com In the example above, I had no yet created a firewall rule to allow access to one of the two servers in my config. In these cases, removing the invalid server or allowing access to it (assuming the server is running and port 10051 is open) fixes the issue, but the behaviour change is enough that these issues may not be obvious - particularly in my case where I default to adding extra ServerActive for every host, but only some actually need the config (Ansible laziness) Expected: Make the new behaviour of sending to all servers require a special argument (or an argument to use the old behaviour of just the first server) |

Hello dangelovich, Thank you for your request, actually there already is a solution for this, please a look at ZBXNEXT-284, there is a separate patch for this, available in the thread. Syntax example would look like that: timeout 2 zabbix_sender -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf -s test -k test -o 0 -vv Where 2 in this case is 2 seconds. As for now I will be closing the issue as a duplicate! Best Regards, |
