monitoring custom services?

[sherl0k]

I'm having trouble trying to add services to monitor that zabbix doesn't support built-in. Items like smbd and tftpd-hpa I need to monitor, but I can't get them to monitor for the life of me.

I've tried adding them as a service and by ip, but I get the same result:

Active check [net.tcp.service[smbd]] is not supported. Disabled.

and

net.tcp.port[139]] error: Not supported by Zabbix Agent

Where am I going wrong, how am I supposed to add a new service? I just want to see if the services are up or not.

How about Simple check?


section 19.6 of documentation

tcp,139
tcp_perf,139

Active check [net.tcp.service[smbd]] is not supported. Disabled.

and

net.tcp.port[139]] error: Not supported by Zabbix Agent



I couldn't get net.tcp.service[smbd] to work either. Even with [smbd,IPaddress,139]

However, net.tcp.port[,139] works fine. You need to add the comma before the port number.

I also use proc.num[smbd], which also works fine.

net.tcp.service[service,ip,port] only works for ssh,ntp,ldap,smtp,ftp,http,pop,nntp,imap and tcp for service parameter.

No smbd support there (yet).
