Check to make TCP-connection to Port an localhost

[csf]

Hello All,

I need you to control a service on the clientside of Zabbix (port 9027).
The service is started on 127.0.0.1 listens port only to localhost and does not communicate to the network device.
Which means it can only be tested on clientside and not from serverside on Zabbix-server.
Can somebody inform me about the configuration both from clientside, and from serverside?

Many Thanks.

Leonid.

Define a "UserParameter" that calls a command or script to check that service in the zabbix_agentd.conf file ("client" side). Set it to return a 1 for up & 0 for down (or whatever you want) and then call that as an item in Zabbix. Page 119 in the Zabbix manual, or all over the forums.

Thanks for the answer.

UserParameter=Mongrel_test,telnet 127.0.0.1 9070

But as to me then to break off the telnet-connection ?

Not sure about that. You might have to make a small shell script and monitor the return code of the telnet command. There also might be a better command to try than using telnet, but I can't think of one at the moment. Anybody else have a better solution?

Zabbix agent can check if a TCP port is open.

On client side:
no special configuration

On server side:
create an Item of type "Zabbix Agent" and Key "net.tcp.port[,9070]"
(it is described in Zabbix manual v1.6 p. 103)

Hope this helps
