Error 1 – Maria DB issues

root@ip-172-31-10-159:/usr/share/zabbix-proxy-mysql# zcat /usr/share/zabbix-proxy-mysql/schema.sql.gz | mysql -u zabbix zabbix -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1118 (42000) at line 1278: Row size too large (> 8126). Changing some columns to TEXT or BLOB may help. In current row format, BLOB prefix of 0 bytes is stored inline.

Solution – 1

Mysql-server or mysql client was installed and both cannot at the same time. uninstalled mysql and start from fresh.

 18  dpkg-query -l | grep mysql
   19  mysql
   20  dpkg-query -l | grep mysql-server
   21  dpkg-query -l | grep mysql
   22  apt-get remove mysql-client
   23  dpkg-query -l | grep mysql

Solution 2 

Mysql-server was installed and both cannot at the same time. uninstalled mysql and mariadb could then be.

Error – 3 – libpcre2-8.so.0()(64bit) is needed

error: Failed dependencies:
        libpcre2-8.so.0()(64bit) is needed by zabbix-agent-6.0.0-1.el7.x86_64

Solution 3 

$ yum install pcre2-devel.x86_64
$ yum install pcre.x86_64

Error – 4 – Zabbix Host Not available

Received empty response from Zabbix Agent at [13.233.206.103]. Assuming that agent dropped connection because of access permissions.

Solution – 4 

This issues i faced in AWS server due to confusion of Public IP address and pvt IP add address. I noticed that Zabbix server request the agent using PUBLIC ip address thus in zabbix_agentd.conf

Server=3.110.176.72 [ RIGHT with Public IP address ]
Server=172.31.10.229 [ WRONG with PVT IP address ]

Error 5 – Unable to connect to [127.0.0.1]:10051

Solution – 5


### Option: ServerActive
#       List of comma delimited IP addresses or DNS names (address:port) pairs or clusters (address:port;address2:port) of Zabbix servers and Zabbix proxies for active checks.
#       If port is not specified, default port is used.
#       Cluster nodes need be separated by semicolon.
#       IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in square brackets if port for that host is specified.
#       If port is not specified, square brackets for IPv6 addresses are optional.
#       If this parameter is not specified, active checks are disabled.
#       Example for multiple servers:
#               ServerActive=127.0.0.1:20051,zabbix.domain,[::1]:30051,::1,[12fc::1]
#       Example for HA:
#               ServerActive=zabbix.cluster.node1;zabbix.cluster.node2:20051;zabbix.cluster.node3
#       Example for HA with two clusters and one server:
#               ServerActive=zabbix.cluster.node1;zabbix.cluster.node2:20051,zabbix.cluster2.node1;zabbix.cluster2.node2,zabbix.domain
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
# ServerActive=

ServerActive=172.31.10.229
