Package: zabbix-agent
Version: 1:6.0.14+dfsg-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
When ListenIP= is defined on zabbix_agentd.conf, to bind the agent on a
single interface on a multiple interface machine, zabbix-agent will
often fail to start as there's a chance the system will not have the IP
addresses configured yet.
With ListenIP=192.168.144.17 and DebugLevel=4:
677:20230810:090748.461 listener failed: bind() for
[[192.168.144.17]:10050] failed: [99] Cannot assign requested address
As a fix, we find that zabbix-agent.service has:
[Unit]
After=network.target
After replacing it with:
[Unit]
After=network-online.target
The zabbix agent then starts successfully, as systemd will now wait for
the interfaces to have an address before starting the agent. (We use
NetworkManager on these machines, not sure if it makes a difference).
