Zabbix instead of Big Sister

[csf]

Hello All,

I use more than 4 years Big Sister.
Now, after testing, I see many advantages at Zabbix.
But before the final decision I very much would like to have the answer to such question.
is it possible to realize with Zabbix the following scenario (this scenario works now with Big Sister):
1. We want to have a Zabbix-Server and a Zabbix-Agent (without Websevice and SQL). The agent shall test the ping and ftp-connection (only thet) to another server. This server is not visible for the Zabbix-Server.
2. If the connection fails the Zabbix-Agent sents an alarm to the Zabbix-Server and there the decision is made what this alarm leads to
(e.g.: Alarm on Web-surface or e-mail-alarm).

Many thanks in advance.

Best Regards.

Leonid.

Sure you can do this with Zabbix.

You can use the agent for doing things like ping and so on, the agent wil report to the zabbix server.

agentd.conf example,
UserParameter=ping01,cmd.exe /c ping -w 5 -n 1 localhost | find /c "Reply"

1. Thank you for Answer.

OK. And what is with FTP-Test ? I must "Welcom-Prompt" waiting ? e.g |grep
FTP-Prompt ? But many Server's have different FTP-Prompt ?

You can use something like this.

UserParameter=ftp01,cmd.exe /c ftp -s:login.txt localhost | find /c "Goodbye"

And login.txt should have the following

username
password
quit
