Debian Linux 11

"Also note" item should be without the backslash:

icmpping[{HOST.IP}]

Hello everyone, I got this same error using this same version 6.4.0beta4. I noticed this when I made an API call with host.create indicating the template id for that host.

However, when checking in the GUI, the data is not collected because there is this indication of the error. Solved MANUALLY in the Zabbix GUI this way: I entered the item and noticed that the interface of this default host was not selected in the "Host Interface" field, but as "None". I made the manual change and it worked. It seems to be some kind of bug related to signing the default host interface with the template.

Same issue with 6.4.0rc2

Same with official release 6.4.0.

Same issue for me - the host interface drop down also does not show if i edit the item.

Same issue after migrate 6.2 to 6.4
 
I have to select my host interface manually

I'm in version 6.4.0rc4 and the same problem continues, I'm having to do it by hand

Can you tell me when will it be fixed? I'm not ready to set up all the hosts with my hands!!!

The SSH and Telnet Item is also affected by the problem.

It's terrible

Estava tendo o mesmo problema no meu que é versão 6.4.
Consegui resolver alterando o host interface.
A opção de host interface não estava aparecendo pra mim, então mudei meu idioma de PT_BR para en_US e então a opção apareceu.
depois que alterei a primeira vez voltei para o idioma PT_BR e a opção de host interface permaneceu visível.

When you apply a template to a host, the interface is not automatically applied. Interface is set to None
I already tried to delete, update the template. Does not help.

Will you notify users when a solution is found?

This ticket will get updated when the status changes.

Caused by ZBXNEXT-6406

Seem like issue only when using frontend and API, auto registration and LLD, both work fine.
Both server and frontend should work the same.

Fixed in development branch feature/ZBX-22105-6.4.

Fixed in:

• 6.4.1rc1 a88425b36ee
• 7.0.0alpha1 (master) b7089c7426d

Is there a fixed template I can import? As current version I have still has this issue. Would have thought ping was the most simple test...

Current version as  is:

root@rsch-chkmk01:~# zabbix_server --version
zabbix_server (Zabbix) 6.4.0
Revision 5b2736b6027 6 March 2023, compilation time: Mar  3 2023 14:35:33

Getting error: zabbix-release_6.4-1+ubuntu22.04_all.deb when try to upgrade.

The same here after upgrade from 6.2 to 6.4

I tought i had done something wrong. I appeared after upgrading 6.2 to 6.4

Argon0, jros what are the errors You are getting exactly? Is it still "Ping item must have target or host interface specified"?

I have noticed that when I apply a template to host, the field "interface" from the template items is not set.

Specifically I have added a new host, a Cisco switch, with an SNMP interface, then I apply "Cisco IOS by SNMP" template.

When navigate to host items I can see the items "ICMP loss", "ICMP ping" and "ICMP response time" with this error: "Ping item must have target or host interface specified."

If I edit some of this items I can see "Host interface" set to "None":

If I set it manually all is fine.

Thanks!

Hello, jros! Could you check the version of your Zabbix frontend, please? It looks like you are upgraded to 6.4.0, not to 6.4.1rc1.

Starting from 6.4.1rc1 on the above described scenario the host interface should be assigned automatically. If you see that you are unable to upgrade to 6.4.1rc1, don't worry. The 6.4.1 will be releazed soon and you'll be able to upgrade again and get this fix.

However, if you upgrade from older 6.4. versions where the template with the simple check items (with none host interface) was already linked to the host, after the upgrade it will be necessary to unlink the template, and then to link it again. After the template re-linkage the existing host interface will be assigned to the inherited simple check items.

Yep Vladimirs, I have upgrade to 6.4.0.

Then I have to wait to 6.4.1 release.

Ok, thank you very much!

@kprutkovs  I have exactly that message, worked around it by editing the template to include the IP Host int he expression.

I have just to see that 6.4.1 was release the last friday.

I have installed it and the problem is solved.

Thanks

<erm> First time I've had to upgrade, but when I do so (Ununtu 22.04) I get this:

zabbix-agent is already the newest version (1:6.4.0-1+ubuntu22.04).
zabbix-frontend-php is already the newest version (1:6.4.0-1+ubuntu22.04).
zabbix-server-mysql is already the newest version (1:6.4.0-1+ubuntu22.04).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded 

Is this correct?

Do I need to do something manually after upgrading to 6.4.1? Previously I was on 6.4.0 and the interface wasn't automatically selected.
After upgrade it seems still be "None". Do I have to reassign the interface everywhere? Thats an absurd.

I have reassign the template to the hosts.

The problem come on template assign, the items are created when the template is applied to the host, then you have to unlink and link again.

IHMO

I confirm that updating to 6.4.1 and reaplying the template solve the issue. Thanks for the quick response guys !

Argon0, I see, the problem is that you have 6.4.0 (the latest version released currently).
As you can see in the comment above made by vmaksimovs the bug was fixed in 6.4.1rc1.
Please refer to this comment for more information.

Yeah, I thought as much but I get the above message(s) when I try upgrade, following the guide to upgrade on Ubuntu 22.04.

Thanks

Hi,

I've updated to the latest version - 6.4.2 and still having issues.

I am getting 'Check service item must have IP parameter or host interface specified' for all 'Simple Checks' using either DNS/IP with a standard item key, net.tcp.service[https].

Are others still experiencing the same problems?

I should note if I update my templates and change my HTTPS monitor keys to 'net.tcp.service[https,\{HOST.DNS},443]' and ICMP to 'icmpping[\{HOST.IP}]', it seems to resolve the issue, as it does not need to rely on the 'Host interface' being set.

There is a fair bit of talk if this being resolved in the new version, but it doesnt seem to be working for me. Hoping someone can please help?

Hello ManixZabbix,

Could you check the sequence of your actions, please? Possibly first you has been linked a template to a host and after that added an interface to a host. But it is important to understand that after adding the first interface to a host, it will not be automatically assigned to items with unassigned interface. We supplemented the documentation with the note about this. There also is described the workaround to achieve the auto template assignment if template was linked to a host without any interface. Please check this note on 2 Linking/unlinking.

Kind Regards,
Vladimir
