zabbix_sender not working ? v 1.3.9

[rreilly]

Hi, I checked out 1.3.9 and i am no longer able to send data to zabbix from the sender
I have a template: weblogic
with the following item: weblogic.ExecuteQueue/ExecuteThreadCurrentIdleCount
I have a host that i have linked with both linux and my weblogic template
how ever when i try to update with:
/opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_sender -vvv -z 172..172.172.172 -p 10051 -s xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.com -k weblogic.JVMRunTime/HeapFreeCurrent -o 60000

I get

zabbix_sender [18550]: Warning: Incorrect answer from server [NOT OK]
sent: 0; failed: 1; total: 1

and I can not find anythink in the zabbix_server.log for the above.

Make sure you have an item with type "Trapper" and key "weblogic.JVMRunTime/HeapFreeCurrent" for host "xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.com".

I've got a command line:
./firescope_sender -v -z localhost -p 10051 -s localhost -k system.users.num -o 12

that says Incorrect answer from server

I modified the RedHat_t item to be zabbix trapper type and am using a host that definately has that item and get the error still...

Any help?

I can get the sender to work as long as I use the name of the host as it is called in zabbix. If I use the IP address as the documentation says I get an error.... I REALLY eed to use the IP and not the name...

[Alexei]

IP address is not an unique identifier of a host, it cannot be used for this purpose. I will amend documentation and command line help.

Please do, and thanks in advance.
