Zabbix 2.0 Packages for Debian Squeeze

[thesubmitter]

i386 and AMD64

This is my first debian package. I tested it and it works on a bunch of systems.

I also added a new question in the debian configuration asking you what is the the name of the client so that way if you have autodiscovery setup on your server you can set the name otherwise it will default to `uname -n`

It works but honestly, its my first.... Doesn't work on lenny.
This ARE .deb files.

Download
Remove the .xml extension
dpkg -i nameofile.deb

Good work.
Any idea what the time line is to see V2 in the debian repo's?
eg server, proxy, frontend

I may have a crack at making one if time permits.
Unless someone with more experience in debian packaging is working on it?

[thesubmitter]

There is a bug that causes auto-registration not to work properly, anybody with any idea what it could be. Works with the debian 1.8 package though...

Need the line ServerActive in zabbix 2.0 for active checks

Could you post the procedure on successfully building the Debian package for the Squeeze release? This way, others can update the package with the most current source code and continue sharing.

[dougbee]

+1 on tberton's request. If the OP could post the method he used to build the .deb, it would be great. Thanks!

FYI, I tested the 2.0.2 agent that's distributed on "sid" (unstable) - and it works on Squeeze. The only nitpick is that my current installations have the pid in /var/run/zabbix-agent whereas the sid distribution uses /var/run/zabbix, so my zabbix-agentd.conf files would have to change.

maybe you can add the postgresql-partition scrpt as an option in the package??

Hi,

We have created 2.0 packages based on 1.8.2 squeeze package and add it to our signed repo for easy installing and keeping up to date.

We are testing it (zabbix-server-mysql, agent and frontend) but following 1.8.2 debian source we built all the packages. So server-pgsql, proxy-mysql & proxy-pgsql have not been tested at all.

We plan to do a heavy use of these packages on Squeeze so we would love to hear your experiences and bug reports even if you don't know how to fix it someone from our company will take care of.

Warning: packages are not elegant, are just 1.8.2 hacked to support 2.0.2 (latest stable). As soon 2.0.3 ends RC we will upgrade the package. Package it's not prepared for upgrades from early versions. Will only work installing from scratch.

To add our repo:

echo "deb http://repo.guruhub.com.uy/debian/ squeeze main" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/guruhub-squeeze.list

To add our Key:

 wget -q -O - http://repo.guruhub.com.uy/guruhub.apt.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Done, you can apt-get install zabbix 2.0.2 without having to upgrade libraries to install zabbix 2.0.2 package from sid.

It's a fresh install of Debian Squeeze.

What could I check?

Thanks for your help,

Sorry I did not provide the exact apt-get install command, "apt-get install zabbix 2.0.2" tells apt to install "zabbix" and install "2.0.2" which is not what we want.

After you added our repo and our key execute the following commands according to what you want to setup:

Zabbix server mysql:

apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql

Zabbix agent:

apt-get install zabbix-agent

Zabbix frontend:

apt-get install zabbix-frontend-php

You have more packages (untested) to choose from:
Zabbix server on pgsql: zabbix-server-pgsql
Zabbix proxy on mysql: zabbix-proxy-mysql
Zabbix proxy on pgsql: zabbix-proxy-pgsql

Good luck!

Package problem

Hi valor, I tried your package. Thank you for building them.
But I hit two problems with your package. I installed zabbix-server-pgsql 2.0.2

1. zabbix-server can't start up, because it tries to read config from
/usr/etc/zabbix_server.conf. It should be /etc/zabbix_server.conf.

2. Your package lacks /usr/share/zabbix-server/images.sql, so I couldn't
intialize postgres database. I get that file from official source.

So, when you update your repository, could you fix them, please?

I thank you again for your work.
