Autostart zabbix-agent

[malayo]

how do i autostart zabbix_agentd on pfsense?
i could not find /etc/rc.conf, should i create it first

Things of that sort are usually started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d

i tried changing from

:  ${zabbix_agentd_enable="NO"}

to

:  ${zabbix_agentd_enable="YES"}

in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zabbix_agentd but after reboot, zabbix_agentd does not start (port 10050 does not open & no /tmp/zabbix_agentd.log)

[stephenw10]

Where did you change that? Is there some file that is installed there by default?
More information please.  ;)

STOP!  :)

There is already a pfSense package for Zabbix Agent that does all this for you.

Just install it from System: Packages: in the webGUI.

I'm not sure how all the stuff you have added manually will affect it though. You may want to start over with a fresh install if you haven't done much other customisation.

thanks for this valuable info.

by installing from pfsense web interface, zabbix_agend restarts automatically after reboot.
