I have seen that when you run apache 2 Zabbix is not recognise it as a running proces.

Normally you check this with "check_service[http]" but this doesn't seem to work with Apache2.

Any idea ?



On some boxes it's working and on some boxes it isn't.

make sure you are monitoring the correct process name. for apache and apache2 it is httpd (have a look to the last character)

I have tried httpd and it wasn't supported by the agent. On another box with the same configuration it was.

A thing that I aslo can't figure out is that when port 80 is available that it's shown as down

ah i see your problem...
you should better use proc_cnt to monitor the number of processes as you you can take it for every daemon. check if the current state is >0 and the server is up, if it's 0, no process is running and therefore the server is down.

That's a good option indeed ! The option you gave me here was automaticly added by the template. So I think I will just customize everything on the servers I need.

Thnx !

Already done that, but was wondering why there were 2 versions of apache-monitoring :)

There are always a lot of roads leading to Rome.

Indeed, but you need to get the best and quiest one that leads to your target :p
