UserParameter Not Supported

[fredmonac]

Hi all

I'm currently setting up a brand new zabbix installation
I'm trying to monitor traffic on my Centos 5.3 servers.
To do that I've setup some UserParamaters

UserParameter=net-eth0-out ,cat /proc/net/dev | awk -F: '{ if ($1 ~ "eth0") { print $2 } }' | awk '{ printf("[u|%s] %s\n", $1) }'

But each time I try it by using this command :

zabbix_agentd -t net-eth0-out

I receive :

net-eth0-out [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]

So I decided to try something more simple

UserParameter=fredtest, echo 1

Same result

And the same with the mysql.version

I cannot find out why

Does any of you have an idea ?

zabbix_agentd version is 1.8

Thanks

Fred

Hi,


Did you restart zabbix_agentd ?
What messages have you in zabbix_agentd.log ?

I thought it was impossible to get UserParameter entries to work from the local zabbix_agentd -t setup.

If you want to test this, go to the zabbix server and run:

zabbix_get -s source-computer -k key

Yours will look something like this:

zabbix_get -s source-computer -k net-eth0-out

You should see a proper response from this.

Hi

Yes i've restarted the agent
Here are the log

Hi all
Finaly I fix all the problem
First of all I change the server name in zabbix_agentd.conf with the same as the one in zabbix server
There was also an error in my UserParameter
It should be like this

UserParameter=net-eth0-out,cat /tmp/dev | awk -F: '{ if ($1 ~ "eth0") { print $2 } }' | awk '{ printf("%s\n", $1) }'
UserParameter=net-eth0-in,cat /tmp/dev | awk -F: '{ if ($1 ~ "eth0") { print $2 } }' | awk '{ printf("%s\n", $9) }'

As you can see, I also have to copy the dev file from /proc/net/dev to /tmp
Because zabbix user does not have access to /proc/net/dev
To do that I've writen a smal script that is run every minute by the crontab and that copy /proc/net/dev to /tmp

Thanks for your help
