The configuration is not updated. Can anyone explain what “Failed to send data to mail slot” means? I am receiving this error on two different hosts. If I use the default configuration file I still receive this message. Thank you.
Then something is wrong in your changed configuration. You can normally ignore this “mail slot” message. Do a “check_mk_agent.exe showconfig” to check if your changed options are read and processed the correct way. If the resulting configuration is what you want, you can do the reload.
Thank you. I didn’t understand the process correctly. I thought check_mk_agent.exe showconfig showed the configuration currently in use by the agent. Once I realized “showconfig” will try and process the config files I quickly realized I made a mistake in my configuration. Thanks for the quick reply.
