Problem using SSH on 1.8

[gfalardi]

Hello,

I have some problem to monitor the server itself. When I switch items' type from "zabbix agent" to "SSH agent", it doesn't work, with public key or password authentication.

Log says "Parameter is not supported by agent Old satus [0]"

The zabbix server is configured to support SSH2.

Any idea how to make it works ?

there is no problem to connect between server and client in SSH without entering password.

can't find anywhere how to enable ssh agent monitoring on server and clients.

my sshd logs in debug mode says that :

sshd[28616]: debug1: rexec start in 4 out 4 newsock 4 pipe 6 sock 7
sshd[28496]: debug1: Forked child 28616.

sshd[28617]: Connection closed by UNKNOWN
sshd[28617]: debug1: do_cleanup
sshd[28616]: debug1: do_cleanup

It doesn't work, using zabbix_agent or zabbix_agentd

Hi,

May be I don't understand what you are trying to do but there is no relation between Zabbix agent and SSH checks.
Check http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/1.8/complete#ssh_checks. You are supposed to provide a script when you define an SSH check item.

Hope this helps

I've tried and it works, thanks

So you cannot monitor all yours items with SSH ?
