need help with Zabbix server

@Mike-Davis said in need help with Zabbix server:
database on the same server. If I log in to the database, and run:
select user, host from mysql.user;
it returns:
MariaDB [(none)]> select user, host from mysql.user;

| user | host |

| zabbix | % |
| root | 127.0.0.1 |

| root | localhost |
| zabbix | localhost |
| zabbix | xx.xx.14.212 |

6 rows in set (0.00 sec)The user may exist but it may not have the granted permissions. You can run:
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'zabbix'@'xx.xx.14.212';To see what that user has access to.

I think we have a bingo.
ERROR 1141 (42000): There is no such grant defined for user 'zabbix' on host 'xx.xx.14.212'
-
Shouldn't this work:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON zabbix.* TO zabbix@xx.xx.14.212 IDENTIFIED BY 'mySecurePasswordHere';

If the user already exists drop the IDENTIFIED BY part. But yes the syntax should work. Don't forget the single quotes around the username and IP address.
-
When I run it, I get:
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)MariaDB [(none)]> show grants for [email protected]; ERROR 1141 (42000): There is no such grant defined for user 'zabbix' on host 'xx.xx.14.212'
Do the single quotes matter when running these commands?

2 rows in set (0.00 sec)Do I have too many zabbix users configured? Should I just have the one with the external host IP?

I'm not sure, I don't think so I thought '%' was equivalent to local host.

% is everything, like * would be in other places.

@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.14.212And see if it lets you connect.
-
sudo mysql -u zabbix -p -h xx.xx.14.212
Enter password:

I did enter the real IP address.
-
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.

ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'xx.xx.14.212' (0)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

it is on the same server.
I just edited:

and set :
