zabbix agent for centos 5 1.8.2

[goldbarry]

Hi There,

I am trying to install zabbix agent on centos 5

I have been using ./configure --enable-agent --prefix=/usr/local/zabbix command from the source and follow up the documentation but no success.


when i am suppose to start zabbix aggent i get error message saying file/directory is not found.


i am going to redo it all over again and then post the actual error message but mean while was wondering if you guys can post ducomentation on how agent can be installed.

Thanks

Hi Goldbarry,

How are you going about trying to start the agent? I also noticed that you did not mention how your 'make' went.

Whenever I have built the agent on CentOS, I have had to create my own startup file in /etc/init.d. Did you do the same?

HI,

thanks for your quick reply,

looks like service is installed and even working as per netstat

zabbix-1.8.2 # netstat -antup|grep zabbix
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 11561/zabbix_agentd


but when i do /etc/init.d zabbix to stop/start zabbix service nothing is there

Thanks

You may want to step through the /etc/init.d/zabbix_agent start/stop script and verify that the binary file is located where the script is calling it. If you reboot your server does the zabbix agent start up?
