Simple Checks on FreeBSD do not work

[dzepeda]

Hello all,

I'm trying to use Simple Checks in Zabbix 1.1beta4 running on FreeBSD 6.0-p1. Every time I try to use a simple check, whether pop, smtp or any of the others that are said to be available in the documentation always returns "Not Supported" I get this in the server log:

001613:20051228:060004 Simple check [check_service[smtp,x.x.x.x]] is not supported

This happens with any of the I have tried, smtp,pop etc.

Unfortunately, the logs don't tell me why it is unsupported, so I have little to go on to get it to work.

Some of the suggestions I received on the IRC channel:

* Firewalled? I've ensured that I can telnet to port 25 from the Zabbix server to the smtp server and can get a "220" banner on port 25.

* Keys have changed in beta4 - I've used the keys suggested in the 1.1alpha documentation, specifically smtp and smtp_perf. Both give similar behaviour. Are there new ones?

I've tried enabling all the logging, 'truss'ing' the processes, but cannot find any information to go on. Any light anyone can shed on this would be great.

I confirm this problem. Please download most recent check_simple.c and recompile ZABBIX server to make it work. Alternatively you may want to wait release of 1.1beta5.

Wonderful! I'm glad it wasn't just me. In any case, I've tried to download via CVS, but access is denied for anonymous, and the web based CVS browser shows checks_simple.c at version 1.10, updated 6 weeks ago, which is what I have already.

I'd rather not wait until the next release unless it is happening later this afternoon :)

Anonymous WEB based CVS does not show up-to-date information. It contains delayed copy of real CVS. Wait for several hours and retry.

I can confirm that this solves my issue. Thank you so much! What an excellent response time. I'm very pleased with your product and will be recommending it to my clients.

Thanks again for the excellent product and support, keep it up!
