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?

Remco

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.

epsilon

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.

epsilon

hey is this dead? haven't seen an update and i cant manually install it any more either.

Remco

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>

	<config_file>http://www.pfsense.com/packages/config/zabbix-agent.xml</config_file>

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.

Remco

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

Guest

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.

Guest

remco,

Many thanks for your soon answer, I put TEST data, but the service didn't start, Is necessary put real running server?

Thanks
Alfredo

Remco

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) ?

Guest

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.

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?

@afrugone:

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