There is a problem confused me, I searched on Google but no result:
Most of my clients said that they are Windows, We have Microsoft AD. And DHCP, DNS servers are Windows Servers.
As you know non-domain joining windows client do not register on DNS, so windows use NetBios to resolve these clients.
I install samba-winbind on Zabbix Server and add
"wins" in /etc/nsswitch.conf : --> hosts: files wins dns
So that Linux can use NetBios to resolve Windows Hostname, and I can get the response when pinging these clients.
Problem:
When I add the host to Zabbix Server, I fill in DNS name with the NetBIOS name. But Zabbix can't resolve.
I can Ping NetBios name in Linux, But Zabbix Server cannot resolve it when adding the host. What should I do to make Zabbix server resolve NetBIOS name, Thanks...
While daemons follow resolv.conf changes in recent Zabbix versions, other name lookup file changes might require daemon restart. Please restart Zabbix server.
