Check the agent's log for errors

[frater]

I recently noticed that some items/triggers were working fine on some machines, but not on all.
I could have known if I had checked the agent's log.
That's why I now added an item and trigger in my Linux template:

item:

key:             vfs.file.regmatch[/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log,"^[(-z]"]
interval:        1200 seconds
Applications:  Log files

trigger

/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log contains errors on server {HOSTNAME}
{Template_Linux:vfs.file.regmatch[/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log,"^[(-z]"].last(0)}>0

BTW... Am I the only one using zabbix or is my input just not that interesting???

Just in case that you want to test a solution based and SNMP without zabbix agent:
