need help with Zabbix server

Mike Davis

@coliver I think % is the wildcard from what I read. Not good practice, but I was trying to get it working.

Ah, that makes sense. So that should work.

You can also attempt to log in from the CLI from the Zabbix server...

mysql -u zabbix -p -h ip.add.14.212

And see if it lets you connect.

Mike Davis

sudo mysql -u zabbix -p -h xx.xx.14.212
Enter password:
ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'xx.xx.14.212' (0)

Enter in your servers' IP address not the literal "xx.xx.14.212"

Mike Davis

I did enter the real IP address.

DustinB3403

Did you fill in the user password?

I wonder if Firewalld is blocking this. Zabbix should really be using 'zabbix'@'localhost' instead of the IP address.

I'm assuming that this mysql server is not on the same server as Zabbix?

So check your firewall, and check /etc/mysql/my.cnf and make sure that it's set to listen on the IP address and not 127.0.0.1.

I just tested this on my zabbix system and got

He received 2005

it is on the same server.
I just edited:
sudo vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
and set :
DBhost=localhost

Then go back and run the Grant commands again, adjusting the IP accordingly.

It looks like this was a housekeeper / permissions issue.

It was resolved several years ago, so I'm guessing permissions.

Mike Davis

sudo mysql -u zabbix -p -h localhost
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'zabbix'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Should be 127.0.0.1

Need to grant permissions to the correct user. You have two overlapping users created in that database. Remove them both and start over ONLY with the localhost one.

DustinB3403

Can you confirm the running services against what I have here.

Mike Davis

@scottalanmiller
since I have 3 accounts, I tried:

MariaDB [(none)]> drop user zabbix;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> drop user zabbix@localhost;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> drop user 'zabbix'@'xx.xx.14.212';
ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation DROP USER failed for 'zabbix'@'xx.xx.14.212'

Can't seem to delete the last one.

DustinB3403

Here is a report (2007) of the syntax to be used to provide access to the database for a user.

Mike Davis

to delete the last account, it didn't like that I specified the host, even though it was listed. I did:
delete from mysql.user where user='zabbix' ;

and that took.

now I just have the user zabbix@localhost

I restarted services and in the log I'm getting:
1141:20161020:154817.079 [Z3001] connection to database 'zabbix' failed: [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
