Installing zabbix-agent on pfsense 2.0.2

malayo

once logged in to shell on pfsense, i ran below commad succesfully (after enabled WAN interface)

pkg_add -r http://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/zabbix-agent-1.8.13,2.tbz

but I could not find rc.local.conf to enable autostart of zabbix-agentd

cd /usr/local/sbin/
./zabbix-agentd start
./zabbix-agentd status

does not give any output

i'm able to telnet to port 10050 on pfsense though

A number of things occur to me.

pfSense 2.0.2 is built on FreeBSD 8.1, that ftp site appears to be for a far more recent release.
You probably wanted to use:

http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE/packages/All/zabbix-agent-1.8.2_2%2c2.tbz

@malayo:

does not give any output

No output at all would be very surprising. I assume it actually gave some error, what was it?

after reboot and reconfigure config file to point to correct IP of zabbix server, i managed to telnet port 10050 but it quickly got disconnected as below

# telnet 192.168.56.120 10050
Trying 192.168.56.120...
Connected to 192.168.56.120.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

i added pfsense host with pfsense template but I can see is snmp shown in red "timeout connecting to [192.168.56.120:161]"

running below from zabbix server gave output 0.000000

zabbix_get -s 192.168.56.120 -p 10050 -k "system.cpu.load[all,avg1]"

from my laptop (192.168.56.1)

finally got server to show green on zabbix agent & snmp on status. Below are my configs

pfsense zabbix_agentd.conf
–--------------------------
LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_agentd.log
Server=192.168.56.101
Hostname=router

zabbix server

Server=localhost,zabbix
Hostname=Zabbix Server
StartAgents=5
DebugLevel=3
PidFile=/var/run/zabbix-agent/zabbix_agentd.pid
LogFile=/var/log/zabbix-agent/zabbix_agentd.log
Timeout=3

note:

-i'm connecting trough IP, hence Hostname are based on host setting at zabbix interface
-i add entry on /etc/hosts for zabbix hostname of zabbix server
-templates used on pfsense host Template_SNMPv2_Device & Template_pfSense
