YES, this is correct hostname, I have started trying on another host, please check below command:

# hostname
SANDBOX2

That's not what I'm asking (see previous posts). The system hostname is ignored by zabbix and you can set it to whatever you want.

What is essential is that the Hostname defined in zabbix_agentd.conf and the hostname defined in zabbix (UI, DB) when creating the host match.

And judging from the screenshot, your host is named "SANDBOX_2" in zabbix and not "SANDBOX2".
Rename host to "SANDBOX2" in zabbix UI and it should be fine.

Then you can restart zabbix_agentd so that you won't have to wait ~2 minutes before it tries again pulling active checks from zabbix_server.

Working

WOWwwww !

Its working !!!!!

Thanks a lot, just one more help,

It has started getting lines from LOG file but showing 3 columns as blank - LOCALTIME, SOURCE & SEVERITY whlie its showing timestamp.

Is it something related to configuration in ITEM for timestamp format.

Please help on this ?

Thanks & regards

Source and Severity are available on Windows hosts (event log). I don't think you can get that information from a flat text file.


The time format parameter of you item can contain a pattern to extract date/time from each log line.

I haven't spent too much time on this (a quick look at src/zabbix_server/trapper/trapper.c : calc_timestamp) but I haven't been able to extract date/time info from my logs. But I should probably change the date/time format to make it easier to parse.

Hi

Thanks for you help, Log watch is working good now. I was checking the forum but could not find how to start new thread. I had another problem.

I am using custom script to monitor a partilar API, this script returns 0 if API not running and 1 if API working successfully. One day this script failed due to disk space issue and started returning text ERROR message like 'Count not create file X : No disk space left.....' instead of numeric '1' or '0', and zabbix marked this ITEM as 'not supporeted'.

We want zabbix to send alert mail in case any of the ITEM become 'not supported'.

Is there any work around for this ?

THanks & regards

Description: rezultats

Key: log["/usr/ccc/rezultats.log","ERR","ASCII",50]
Type of information: Log
Update interval (in sec): 1
Keep history (in days): 7
Status: Active

but this item not working.
this item is corect configuret?

[colloque]

hello asa1985

try it
log[/usr/ccc/rezultats.log,'ERR','ASCII',50]

[asa1985]

hello colloque

I tried log[/usr/ccc/rezultats.log,'ERR','ASCII',50]
but didn't work again

maybe other solution?

[colloque]

test with only syntax:

log[/usr/ccc/rezultats.log,'ERR',50]


What are your rights on the directory /usr/ccc/ and file rezultats.log ?

Can you access to file with the user zabbix in read ans write ?

[asa1985]

I tried lots of variations, but no one helped.

zabbix user has the right to write, read ...

item dos't read information from the log file.

[zalex_ua]

item dos't read information from the log file.

Check 'Hostname' parameter http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/.../zabbix_agentd
