procload on AIX

[hjb]

I would like to monitor procload values on AIX. Zabbix-server is a Linux-box under MDK 10.1. According to the triggers list, this is not supported on AIX. So I wrote the following script for zabbix_sender:

export LANG=C
set $(uptime | tr -d "," |awk '{ printf("%s %s %s", $10, $11, $12)}')
/home/beckers/zabbix-1.0/bin/zabbix_sender ls0002 10001 test:procload $1
/home/beckers/zabbix-1.0/bin/zabbix_sender ls0002 10001 test:procload5 $2
/home/beckers/zabbix-1.0/bin/zabbix_sender ls0002 10001 test:procload15 $3


Zabbix_server is ls0002 and my AIX-box is called test.

zabbix_trapperd.log on ls0002 shows the following (debug=4):

Any hints?

Type of the item must be "ZABBIX trapper".

Hi Alexei,

Thanks for your prompt response.

I changed the "Type" for this item for this host (test) to zabbix trapper,
but the error remains. Under last values for this host I have 3 lines
with the descriptions (procload{5|15}) but without values.

Or do I have to create completely new items?
Would I be better of with an UserParameter-extension to zabbix-agent?

BTW: The documentation for zabbix_sender in Manual.pdf is wrong:


EXAMPLE:

zabbix_sender oracle.company.com 10001 zabbix.companycom:procload 2.34

According to the text below the example, it should be:

zabbix_sender zabbix.company.com 10001 oracle.companycom:procload 2.34[/I]
