Action : Restart Syslog

[bcarpio]

I'm running RHEL 5.1 64-Bit, I am trying to setup an action to restart syslog if/when it dies.

I have downloaded the binaries from the zabbix website and tried to use them, as well I have compiled the zabbix binaries from source and still can not get my action to work here is what my action looks like

server_name:/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/service syslog restart

I have granted sudo NOPASSWORD to the zabbix agent to restart syslog however I keep receiving this error:

25847:20080804:161008 Requested [system.run[/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/service syslog restart,nowait]]
25847:20080804:161008 Sending back [ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]

I have even tried simply:

server_name:/bin/touch /var/tmp/zabbix_test.log

but I get the same ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED, all of my actions work fine on RHEL 4.6 64Bit with the binaries from the zabbix site..

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

It is ur action that is not well supported :
first in the agent configuration, are remote commands allowed ?

then on the remote server, have u performed the command by hand under the user zabbix ?
