zabbix agent tls support

  • 772

I'm installing zabbix agent on my machines and i've noticed that sometimes the agent doesn't have the TLS lines 

### Option: TLSKeyFile
#   Full pathname of a file containing the agent private key.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
# TLSKeyFile=

### Option: TLSPSKIdentity
#   Unique, case sensitive string used to identify the pre-shared key.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
# TLSPSKIdentity=

### Option: TLSPSKFile
#   Full pathname of a file containing the pre-shared key.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
# TLSPSKFile=

So when I add those parameters, the agent won't start.

Can someone tell me what am I missing ?

    Entries from your log files that would give you some clues as to what is happening.

    I would go looking for the zabbix agent log file and see what relevant error messages it has then work from there.

    The zabbix agent log file is frequently found in /var/log/zabbix and could be named zabbix_agentd.log but YMMV depending on distro and or OS.

    You may also get some useful information out of other system logs or even journalctl.

  2. You need to reinstall the zabbix-agent service.

    net stop "Zabbix Agent"
<fullpath>\zabbix_agentd.exe -d
<fullpath>\zabbix_agentd.exe -i -c <path to proper config file> 
net start "Zabbix Agent"

    Beside I have noticed that on some Windows Servers like 2003 32 bit when I install the agent I have a problem with start service cause of using file with tls config.
