Zabbix Server v7.0.1/Proxy v7.0.3 I believe this is related to this new feature: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-8823 We have a monitored system that changed IP. I updated the IP in the SNMP interface for the Host and I thought all was well, but I see now that the SNMP checks are not collecting data and the Proxy that monitors this Host has an error every 5min in the log: SNMP engineId is not unique across following interfaces: <new IP> (hostname), <old IP> (hostname) I think this is a bug or there is a process to change IP addresses on SNMP hosts that I have not found in the Docs yet. Thanks! |

Hello Dennis, Execute on Proxy and check if error exists: zabbix_proxy -R snmp_cache_reload Regards, |

The IP change happened 4 days prior. What is the cache timeout? |

I believe the error went away and I am getting data now after the cache reload. Is this working as intended? Is it documented somewhere? I saw this: Changes in Authentication protocol, Authentication passphrase, Privacy protocol or Privacy passphrase, made without changing the Security name, will take effect only after the cache on a server/proxy is manually cleared (by using -R snmp_cache_reload) or the server/proxy is restarted. In cases, where Security name is also changed, all parameters will be updated immediately. It doesn't mention IP changes. Thanks! |
