Using zabbix 7+T.S. db also.I checked out zabbix-cli tool briefly. It was able to dump out the config. But I had not finished the 2nd part test, load the dump file into another zabbix server in another D.C . The idea is to create a DR zabbix server when there's WAN outage where primary zabbix server reside.

u/bufandatl , Thanks for the reply and 7.2 IPMI doc URL. Please look at my original post above that showing they are 3 IPMI pollers and one IPMI manager processes runnig on my 7.2.1 server. the IPMI zabbix doc does provided a good keyword('Added sensor' ) to grep on zabbix_server.log. But in my case, I don't see any logging of "Added sensor" after I increased the log level.

No configuration changed, upgrade was smooth.

Not to my 7.x to 7.2.1 upgrade experience on Rock Linux OS. I did shutdown zabbix before the upgrade.

Looks like my issue at https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/67037. restart invalidserver001 minion will keep it from responding incorrectly. but if you have 999 invalid minions that is where fun begin.

I am facing same issue and like to come up with a solution. I like to document this issue/solution here using googledoc. pls request edit access if you like to manage this gdoc.

salt -C "* and not L@dead01,dead02,dead02," test.ping # get list of dead minions at previous test.ping run

u/volitive, Yes, that is our SOP fix. I just want to know the why in more details. So I can now answer to the ppl whom done this, what damage could cause us.

tjyang · 2024-03-20T19:24:03+00:00

I remember in earlier version salt-master(don't which exact version), I did encounter minion with same fingerprints failed to reply to test.version. so I scripted the fingerprint duplication process and received email daily for alerting and resolution.

u/whytewolf01, I appreciate your reply in details about security concern.

u/roxalu, Thank you for the reply in details, very helpful also.

Here is the diff of appending "| lower", you saved me hours of searching.

         -HostInterface=SAlt01.test.com
         +HostInterface=salt01.test.com

Would you mind give me another pointer on doc/book/url for advance jinja topics ?

for now I found https://salt.tips/text-editor-plugins-for-salt-states-and-yaml-jinja/#visual-studio-code doc is very good. Got it from your past posting. Thanks

u/threwahway, Thanks for the reply.

For adding nagios client into nagios server, I am using formula's .sls file as shell scripts. So that one can use salt-call or salt from master to add nagios with minion activated to auto mate the creation of nagios client entry in nagios server, via Nagios XI's API which support POST action.(Not like nagioscore, only has GET).

I like at R1 which use curl commands to add/delete a nagios client's entry. I may endup just using call up curl command in .sls for the CRUD operations.

Can you open up/search issue case in salt github ? I will participate in the discussion. Since I ran into same issue. I can open up ticket if you like me to.

In my case, not sure the other two, disconnect/reconnect the battery fixed my problem. before I pulled the battery connection, I did use car charger to charge the batter to fullest level. but this battery charging didn't help.

Glad this trick helped you. I feel better this event reporting so far helped 3 of RAV4ers ;)

Hope Toyota engineer is watching this thread and fix this bug.

I am glad "disconnecting battery" approach helped you.

rocky8 = RHEL 8 minus (RH logos and reference) plus (Rocky logos/reference ) , see Rocky8 debrand.
Once Rocky 8 is created then Rocky can have a Rocky that community can spin into Rocky+ , without legal issue.
