STEPS TO REPRODUCE

The aim is to set up a zabbix agent in ACTIVE mode. Problem:

zabbix_agentd.conf server and serveractive is actively set to empty EVEN THOUGH I already tried fixed strings instead of {{ zabbix_server }}. By the way, zabbix_url: 'https://{{ zabbix_server }}' works and host and host_groups are created on Zabbix 5.2 server. So, this proofs the variable is filled. But anyway, tried already fixed strings.

Could it have to do with zabbix_agent_interfaces? We have manually set up hosts in zabbix server which work perfectly in ACTIVE mode, and they have the interface configuration shown in yml below. So I adapted it.

hosts file:

[xxx] master1 ansible_host=master1.xxx.com ansible_port=22 hosted_by=SuperHoster master2 ansible_host=master2.xxx.com ansible_port=22 hosted_by=SuperHoster

[xxx:vars] ansible_user=xxx ansible_ssh_private_key_file=./.ssh/id_rsa ansible_sudo_pass={{ enc_ansible_sudo_pass }} zabbix_server=zabbix.xxx.com
