Agent Netware(Novell)

[Fatima R R Tonon]

Hi Alexei

We´re using zabbix since now 8 months to monitoring some servers (90 Linux and Windows Plataform).
It's works very fine, but the company have any Novell´s servers and we will want to use the Zabbix for monitoring.
We just want to know if you will be implementing the ability to use zabbix to manage Netware(Novell) servers ?

Hi Fatima,

It is already supported! Check http://www.zabbix.com/manual_cookbook.php for more details about monitoring of Netware servers.

i have read http://www.zabbix.com/manual_cookbook.php - "Novell

Use MRTG Extension Program for NetWare Server (MRTGEXT.NLM) agent for Novell. The agent is compatible with protocol used by ZABBIX. It is available from http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?mrtgext.

Items have to be configured of type Zabbix Agent and must have keys according to the MRTGEXT documentation.

For example:

* UTIL1

1 minute average CPU utilization
* CONNMAX

Max licensed connections used
* VFKSys

bytes free on volume Sys:

Full list of parameter supported by the agent can be found in readme.txt, which is part of the software. "


so I have created a template called NetWare_t. I have attempted to create an item but can't find a key to suit mrtgext (i am pressing the select button next to the "key" entry). I have also tried just typing UTIL1 in as the key but this doesn't work either.

Has this been functionality removed since this topic was originally opened or is there something extra to do that isn't specified??? Essentially, an example added to what is written in the cookbook, because the information doesn't match what i have available.

i am using v1.1.1.

Does anyone have any complete information on how to setup Netware over SNMP or through MRTG?
