Zabbix Client

Remco

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) ?

Remco,

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

25774:20071212:123708 zabbix_agentd started. ZABBIX 1.4.2.
25775:20071212:123708 zabbix_agentd collector started

Try to start with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zabbix_agentd.sh, and nothing happened, not start and no change at log.

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?

Exists a public Zabbix server for testing? or I've to setup my own?

You've to setup your own zabbix server, the zabbix client is only a daemon which is called by the zabbix server.

hdejongh

it seems to be that the location of the package is broken.

Can somebody confirm that?

Is there any otherway to install zabbix on pfsense?

I`m a shell n00b btw..

You're correct, the zabbix agent package doesn't start. I modified it for my own purposes and got it working, but zabbix is a piece of crap and I scrapped it shortly thereafter. Zabbix doesn't monitor FreeBSD properly so the Zabbix client, even if you get it working, will suck with a whole mouthful of teeth.
