| Description |
|
The Zabbix agent stopped sending active checks because it was stuck executing a script defined as a UserParameter, despite the fact that the Timeout parameter was set to 30 seconds. There was an error in the script causing it to run indefinitely without timing out. My understanding is that the agent is supposed to timeout and exit even if the script itself does not exit. The problem was solved by just fixing the hanging script. We did not have to restart the agent. Please let me know what further information you need to investigate the issue. Thanks, Zied Elouaer |

The 2.0.4 agent is considered to be as outdated if you faced with some problem. Would be good if you will describe how to reproduce it with a simple script. |

Hi Oleksiy and thanks for your response. I am upgrading the agent to 2.2.1 and will let you know if the issue still happens with it. As for reproducing the issue, it is happening randomly and I cannot reproduce it every time. Thank you for your support. Regards, |
