      Hello,

      I'm have problems to connect my Zabbix agent in pfSense-2.0.3 to mijn Zabbix Server. Packaged install via webinterface.

      In this example (test setup):
      Zabbix Server:
      Hostname: testing
      LAN ip: 192.168.1.40

      pfSense host with Zabbix agent:
      Hostname: blahblah
      LAN ip: 192.168.1.1
      WAN ip: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
      SNMP is enabled in pfSense
      Zabbix-2 agent settings in web gui
      Server: testing
      Server Active: testing:10050
      Hostname: blahblah
      Listen IP: 0.0.0.0
      Listen Port: 10050
      Refresh Active Checks: 120
      Timeout: 3
      Buffer Send: 5
      Buffer Size: 100
      Start Agents: 3

      In de webinterface of Zabbix Server I added a host with the same name as the hostname in the Zabbix-2 agent settings. I also linked the pfSense template and SNMP.

      Now the question. In the Zabbix Server I have a connection (green box) of SNMP. But for Zabbix I have no connection (red box). I'm a bit lost and I'm not sure now to proceed to solve this problem. Can anyone give me tips so I can solve the problem?

        Update:

        I missed that the the version of my zabbix server was 1.8.10 I updated it to 2.0.6.

        In "CONFIGURATION OF TEMPLATES" I imported: https://github.com/kelsen/zabbix/blob/master/pfsense202.xml

        In "CONFIGURATION OF HOSTS" I added my host with the correct settings and the pfsense template.

        The IPMI availability is green. But the ZABBIX agent Availability is red.

        The settings in pfSense below:

        If I remove the pfsense template and added Template OS FreeBSD.

        Now the the ZABBIX agent Availability is green.

        So I figured adding multiply templates (the pfsense template which collects data via SNMP and template OS FreeBSD which collects data via zabbax agent). But if I do this there is and Error on which I do not get a grip on. Error: Two items ("sysName" and "Host name") cannot populate one host inventory field "Name", this would lead to a conflict.

        How do I fix it?
