Zabbix 1.1.2 on CentOS 4.4

Zabbix is reporting the inetd is NOT running.

it is.. at least xinetd

Know problem?

Resolution?

Thanks

Greetings,

Not really a bug. The Zabbix Agent(d) is checking for the for a running process called inetd, which is the traditional name for the inet super server, not xinetd, which is a redhatism.

Is there a "work around'?

[James Wells]

The best work around at present is to create an item with the key proc.num[xinetd] and for the trigger use {HOSTroc.num[xinetd].last(0)}#1

Thanks for you help.

Before I saw your reply, I modified the linux.c and unknown.c in /src/libs/zbxsysinfo directory to include the following:

{"proc.num", CF_USEUPARAM, PROC_NUM, 0, "xinetd,,,"},
{"proc.mem", CF_USEUPARAM, PROC_MEMORY, 0, "xinetd,,"},


Recompiled, then added a item and a trigger identical to inetd, and disabled inetd for that host.

Is it nessecary to modify the linux.c?

it works, but I'm wondering if the C mods are nessecary (maintaing code and all of that)

Thanks

{"proc.num", CF_USEUPARAM, PROC_NUM, 0, "xinetd,,,"},
{"proc.mem", CF_USEUPARAM, PROC_MEMORY, 0, "xinetd,,"},

These changes, basically only affect the pretend mode for the Zabbix Agent(d). This is when you are running the agent with the -p argument. With your change, it will show the correct information for xinetd while running in pretend mode, but doesn't really affect anything else.
