Errors after using module for zabbix agent 2

[KIvanov-1984]

1. zabbix-agent-systemd.init.erb - in this file exec procces is zabbix_agentd, for zabbix agent 2 using bin file zabbix_agent2
2. module delete /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.d/plugin.d - plugins config path, it is should not be that

Hi @KIvanov-1984 As I said in your previous issue, have you used the suggested code?

class { 'zabbix::agent':
  agent_configfile_path => '/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.conf',
  include_dir           => '/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.d',
  include_dir_purge     => false,
  zabbix_package_agent  => 'zabbix-agent2',
  servicename           => 'zabbix-agent2',
  manage_startup_script => false,
  server                => '192.168.20.11',
}

You must use the suggested code to run agent2 without the issue you report

If you did have manage_startup_script set to true, you need to manually remove the old scripts, do a systemctl daemon-reload (assuming Linux & systemd) and then manually enable the services that were shipped with the packages.

IMO if you have manage_startup_script set to false, and manage_service set to true, the module should do this for you.

@Valantin manage_startup_script true generates this zabbix-agent2.service file:

[Unit]
Description=Zabbix Agent
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=on-failure
PIDFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid
KillMode=control-group
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd --foreground -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.conf
User=zabbix
RestartSec=10s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And the agent fails to start, as this would be the correct file for agent 2 (see usr/lib/systemd/system/zabbix-agent2.service in zabbix-agent2-7.0.9-release1.el9.x86_64.rpm

[Unit]
Description=Zabbix Agent 2
After=syslog.target
After=network.target

[Service]
Environment="CONFFILE=/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.conf"
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/zabbix-agent2
Type=simple

PIDFile=/run/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.pid
KillMode=control-group
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/zabbix_agent2 -c $CONFFILE
ExecStop=/bin/kill -SIGTERM $MAINPID
RestartSec=10s
User=zabbix
Group=zabbix
LimitNOFILE=8192

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

manage_startup_script to false is a solution, but I think the module should at least throw a warning if the parameter is being used with agent 2

[Valantin]

@d1nuc0m the default for manage_startup_script was false, the road is to remove it to use the the package provided init file.
