Zabbix Client
-
We're developing Zabbix Client as a new package for pfSense. Anyone interested in testing this?
-
I am.
-
I am too. ;D
-
I am too!!!
-
Good to hear guys, any special requests?
-
looks nice, I'd like to test it too
-
Ok, the first beta version if available. Please test it and let me know if you've got issues or requests. Because we don't have the package on the server right now, we have to register the package manual:
- first install the zabbix-client package from within the shell:
pkg_add -r http://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/zabbix-agent-1.4.1,1.tbz
-
next download http://www.redfive.biz/downloads/~rverhoef/zabbix-agent.xml and put it in /usr/local/pkg/
-
open a pfSense PHP Shell (/usr/local/sbin/pfSsh.php) and execute the following commands to register the package:
pfSense shell> $pkg_interface='console'; pfSense shell> install_package('zabbix-agent');
Have fun!

Nice work!!

Whelp I've probably done something wrong. After I did every thing you said I see nothing in the web interface for configuring the zabbix agent. And i don't see it under installed packages either.
-
ok could be me again,
i got the zabbix client to run form the command line by editing one of the zabbix_agentd.conf.sample
then running /usr/local/bin/zabbix_agentd -c /usr/local/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.confso i looked at the xml file (i'm no package editor)
but it looks like in some places its calling the rc file zabbix_agent.sh but in the rc folder its called zabbix_agent
and when i installed it only made about 1/2 the folders never made the .conf file and a few other things.again i could of messed up something form the start.
-
The zabbixagent_conf file and the zabbix_agent.sh are created during the installation process in the php shell. Did you get any messages during the execution of the:
pfSense shell> $pkg_interface='console'; pfSense shell> install_package('zabbix-agent');
Can you verify you copied the xml to /usr/local/pkg/ correctly?
Thanks,
Remco
-
yes copied it in there used fetch to get it from your server and placed it right in there.
and no messages the first time i ran it and the 2nd time it said its already installed. -

I experience the same issue on my 1.2 RC2 firewall.

Apparently it is not that easy to install packages manually. :-( Maybe we can ask Scott to add the code below to the pfsense package server?
<package><name>Zabbix Agent</name> <description>Monitoring agent.</description> <category>NET</category> <config_file>http://www.pfsense.com/packages/config/zabbix-agent.xml</config_file> <version>0.1</version> <status>ALPHA</status> <required_version>1.2</required_version> <configurationfile>zabbix-agent.xml</configurationfile> <maintainer>Remco Verhoef</maintainer> <dependencies baseurl="http://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/"><dependency>zabbix-agent-1.4.1,1.tbz</dependency></dependencies></package>
Don't forget to copy the http://www.redfive.biz/downloads/~rverhoef/zabbix-agent.xml to the http://www.pfsense.com/packages/config/zabbix-agent.xml.
Thanks,
Remco

Any thing becoming of this?
-
Sure, Scott will place the release candidate on the package server as soon as he has got a commit client ;-). Just waiting for it, but I don't think it will take long anymore.
-
cant wait.
btw you wouldn't happen to have a pfsense zabbix template to go along with it would you?
i know i can just modify the freebsd one but i guess I'm being lazy. -
hey is this dead? haven't seen an update and i cant manually install it any more either.
-
Sorry, but I cannot put it onto the package server. The link to download the package self is still working, this is the code for in the package xml:
<package><name>Zabbix Agent</name> <description>Monitoring agent.</description> <category>NET</category> <config_file>http://www.pfsense.com/packages/config/zabbix-agent.xml</config_file> <version>0.1</version> <status>ALPHA</status> <required_version>1.2</required_version> <configurationfile>zabbix-agent.xml</configurationfile> <maintainer>Remco Verhoef</maintainer> <dependencies baseurl="http://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/"><dependency>zabbix-agent-1.4.1,1.tbz</dependency></dependencies></package>
