Description

There seems to be a bug/change with Zabbix server and Zabbix proxy where both need to be running 6.4.12.
If the versions don't match, then the proxy is unable to receive configuration changes from the server and shows this message in the log:

cannot process received configuration data from server at "192.168.1.8": unexpected field "httptest.status"

There are 3 bug reports with Zabbix about this issue:
https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-24162
https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-24161
https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-23232

It looks like this issue was addressed in Zabbix 6.4.12:
https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/commits/28b3672d114

We are running 23.05.1 and the package manager installs Zabbix 6.4.1 (revision 546e284fd7c).
Would it be possible to have the Zabbix proxy and agent packages updated to 6.4.12?

It looks like the packages were updated to 6.4.8 for pfSense 23.09, so even upgrading to that will not solve the issue.

Zabbix has now added a note to the upgrade notes and release notes that warns of the issue with 6.4.12:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/installation/upgrade_notes_6412
https://www.zabbix.com/rn/rn6.4.12

It looks like 6.4.12 server will only ever work with 6.4.12 proxies.
6.4.13 server will work with 6.4.13 and above, and 6.4.11 and below proxies.

Server    Proxy    Compatible
6.4.13    6.4.13    Yes
6.4.13    6.4.12    No
6.4.13    6.4.11    Yes
6.4.12    6.4.13    No
6.4.12    6.4.12    Yes
6.4.12    6.4.11    No
6.4.11    6.4.13    Yes
6.4.11    6.4.12    No
6.4.11    6.4.11    Yes

Maybe worth adding a note to the current Zabbix 6.4 proxy package description so that everyone is aware?

Checked on the latest 24.03 BETA builds. This is still on the older version: zabbix64-proxy-6.4.10_1

Zabbix server 6.4.13 is out now and I have confirmed that it works correctly with older proxies, including 6.4.1 that is available for pfSense 23.05.1.

So the solution now is to skip 6.4.12 for server and proxies, and update your Zabbix server to 6.4.13.
