      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.conf

        so 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.

                  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,

                      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.

                              i see the problem you had zabbix-agent-1.4.1,1.tbz when on the server http://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/ the only package they have is zabbix-agent-1.4.2,1.tbz

                              seems like they changed there package ver.

                                I've updated the pkg_config.xml and added the zabbix-agent.xml to cvs.

                                  I've install  Zabbix Agent that's available at package manager, and at services tab there is a new option for Zabbix Agent, only asking for settings for: Settings   
                                  Server,
                                  Server Port,
                                  Hostname,
                                  Listen Port

                                  which values must put there?
                                  How can I use it, where I can see the reports?

                                  many thanks for your help

                                    These settings correspond with the zabbix-agentd.conf settings. The server and server port are used for sending active checks, the hostname must be an unique hostname, also used for active checks and the listen port is the port the agent listens on.

                                        Could you try the following values:

                                        Server=localhost
                                        ServerPort=10050
                                        Hostname=localhost
                                        ListenPort=10050

                                        If it still is not working, could you send me the /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log ?

                                        What is it doing when you start it by hand (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/zabbix_agentd.sh) ?

                                          I try with localhost and port 10050, still not working, the /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log is:

                                            Looking at your logfile it looks like the zabbix agent daemon started succesfully, it is only not showing the right status in the Services. Did you tried to add this server to Zabbix? And don't forget to create an allow rule for this traffic. If it still isn't working, could it be possible to give me access to this server?
