Zabbix 1.3.4: Distributed monitoring ?

[NOB]

Hi,

thanks for Zabbix 1.3.4.
Even some of the problems I noticed, fixed for me and was about
to send the patches where fixed. Good work !

In 1.3.3 there was a (commented out) "wizard page" during
the installation for distributed monitoring.

Is this feature really available now or will it be in 1.3.5 / 1.4 as stated
on the roadmap ?

This is one of the features we miss in other open-source monitoring tools,
at least "out-of-the-box".
On the other hand: we depend on distributed monitoring (IT-outsourcer,
not just simple web-hosting).

I am just a beginner in ZABBIX so I might have missed something obvious.

Regards,

Norbert.

Distributed monitoring will be part of 1.4. I'm not aware of any DM related stuff commented out in the Wizard...

Hi,

thanks very much for this promising answer. So, we will see,
whether we can replace our current tool with ZABBIX.

I found these lines in frontend/php/setup.inc.php:

...
47 1 => array('title' => '2. Licence Agreement' , 'fnc' => 'Stage1' ),
48 2 => array('title' => '3. Check of pre-requisites' , 'fnc' => 'Stage2' ),
49 3 => array('title' => '4. Configure DB connection' , 'fnc' => 'Stage3' ),
50 //4 => array('title' => '5. Distributed monitoring' , 'fnc' => 'Stage4' ),
51 4 => array('title' => '5. Pre-Installation Summary' , 'fnc' => 'Stage5' ),
52 5 => array('title' => '6. Install', 'fnc' => 'Stage6' ),
...

It seems to me there is a comment in line 50 for DM ;-)
That's why I asked whether it will be included in 1.4.

Regards,

Norbert.

Ah, ok I see. This piece of code is no longer required for successful DM setup.
