I'm installing zabbix agent on my machines and i've noticed that sometimes the agent doesn't have the TLS lines 

### Option: TLSKeyFile
#   Full pathname of a file containing the agent private key.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
# TLSKeyFile=

### Option: TLSPSKIdentity
#   Unique, case sensitive string used to identify the pre-shared key.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
# TLSPSKIdentity=

### Option: TLSPSKFile
#   Full pathname of a file containing the pre-shared key.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
# TLSPSKFile=

So when I add those parameters, the agent won't start.

Can someone tell me what am I missing ?

    Which operating system? Which version of the agent? Where/how did you obtain it? What values do you add in the configuration file? How do you start the agent and how does that fail? – Richlv Feb 22 '17 at 13:23
  • I'd bet it's using openssl libs, not always available – Jacob Evans Feb 22 '17 at 14:10
  • actually it's because of the zabbix-agent version. it was 2.8 and when I upgraded it to 3.0 it was fine. – user396019 Feb 22 '17 at 14:21

Entries from your log files that would give you some clues as to what is happening.

I would go looking for the zabbix agent log file and see what relevant error messages it has then work from there.

The zabbix agent log file is frequently found in /var/log/zabbix and could be named zabbix_agentd.log but YMMV depending on distro and or OS.

You may also get some useful information out of other system logs or even journalctl.

You need to reinstall the zabbix-agent service.

net stop "Zabbix Agent"
<fullpath>\zabbix_agentd.exe -d
<fullpath>\zabbix_agentd.exe -i -c <path to proper config file> 
net start "Zabbix Agent"

Beside I have noticed that on some Windows Servers like 2003 32 bit when I install the agent I have a problem with start service cause of using file with tls config.
