Problem with eth0 and lo monitoring

[bumfank]

Hi!
I have a problem with eth0 and lo incoming and outgoing traffic monitoring, Zabbix Agentd told me that dont support that items:
net.if.out[eth0,bytes]
net.if.in[eth0,bytes]

# telnet 127.0.0.1 10050
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
net.if.out[eth0,bytes]
ZBXDZBX_NOTSUPPORTEDConnection closed by foreign host.

but if I test that item directly on zabbix_agent its works!

# /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agent -t net.if.in[eth0,bytes]
net.if.in[eth0,bytes]                         [u|9126414]

i dont understand that ;-)

Centos 5.4, NET-SNMP version: 5.3.2.2, Zabbix 1.8.1

Thanks for your help

I've the same problem! The real problem is that the user which is used by zabbix (for myself, it's named "zabbix") isn't allowed to access to ifconfig.

Maybe you're using a grs-compiled (GRSecurity) kernel. Without changing to a std kernel, I don't know how to allow this user to access to ifconfig.
