help for web monitoring

[kilicos]

Hi,
My still struggling with my zabbix install...
The only issue left for me is the web monitoring.
I can't get it to work, i've tried to monitor one of my application on my server, but nothing happens:

so i decided to try something basic like is yahoo.fr is up...
so more luck so i think i'm doing something wrong in the configuration, but what?

here's what i've done:

for the agent part, am i supposed to select ie because i'm monitoring windows server or linux beacuse the zabbix is on ubuntu?

looks like nothing happens :(
thanks for help

is the server compiled with web monitoring support ?

[kilicos]

:confused:
good question how do I know that????

[richlv]

look in the server logfile. what does it say next to "WEB monitoring:" ?

[kilicos]

<dummy mode on>
where are supposed to be all the log files???
<dummy mode off>
i try to find and i tell you :D

[richlv]

by default, /tmp/zabbix_server.log - or whereever you have set it to log in zabbix_server.conf

so as you guess my next question is how do I enabled it?
thanks for your help :)

depends on how you installed zabbix.
if you compiled it yourself, recompile and enable web monitoring (curl support) in configure.
if you installed from packages, figure out why is it disabled (poke package manager, that is)

[kilicos]

noooooooo
I'm a total noob on linux :( I remenber that i did compil the code before install but I was doing step by step install.
What I'm supposed to changed i I redo it? I'm i going to lose all i already done ? (i mean configuration etc)
I downloaded the source from http://zabbix.com/download.php

[kilicos]

is it when i do :
./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp
sudo make install

[richlv]

no, you are not losing anything.
this is a different problem, so i'd suggest you start a new thread :)

thanks for the help
I'll try to re install all ...
