Zabbix's user rights for network

[samuel2202]

Hello,

I discovered Zabbix yesterday and it is a really great tool! The installation is easy, but I have a little problem with zabbix_agentd: it doesn't have the rights to have network informations, actually, that is what I thing...

system:~# /etc/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd -t "net.if.out[lo,bytes]"
net.if.out[lo,bytes] [u|32465416]
system:~# su - zabbix
zabbix@system:~$ /etc/zabbix/sbin/zabbix_agentd -t "net.if.out[lo,bytes]"
net.if.out[lo,bytes] [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]

I've created the "zabbix" user with this command:
useradd \
--base-dir=$zabbix_path \
zabbix

Maybe I have to create a system user..? I don't know.
Is there anybody who can help me?

Thanks a lot!
Samuel.

most likely selinux/apparmour restrictions - either disable these subsystems, or configure to allow access for zabbix agent daemon

And my question is: how can I configure my Debian 5 (GRSecurity-compiled kernel) to allow my user "zabbix" to access to these data?

Thanks,

that would be a grsecurity question. once you figure that out, would be helpful to document at http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/
