Problem using vfs.file.exists

[___jul]

Hi,

I monitor a server with zabbix.
This is a redhat 5 server, with zabbix_agent 1.8.3 and my server is 1.8.3 too.
This server makes synchronisation of some files using ftp.
I made a script to monitor if the synchronisation works, if not it creates a flag file and zabbix monitor if the flag file existes using this command :
zabbix_get -s 192.168.1.30 -I 10.33.0.75 -k vfs.file.exists[/home/adminit/scripts/checksynchro/cdetol.txt].
I made a trigger on it.
But my problem is that the "vfs.file.exists" check answer allways 0 even if the file exists or not.

Is it a known bug or did I made something wrong ?

Thanks for your reply.

For exemple :
If I try to test the right file it returns 0 and if I try a file that doesn't exists I still recieve 0 :


adminit@Supervision:~$ zabbix_get -s 192.168.1.30 -I 10.33.0.75 -k vfs.file.exists[/home/adminit/scripts/checksynchro/cdetolog.txt]
0
adminit@Supervision:~$ zabbix_get -s 192.168.1.30 -I 10.33.0.75 -k vfs.file.exists[/home/adminit/scripts/checksynchro/cdetolog.txt1]
0

Any ideas, any help ?

Are permissions ok? Can the zabbix agent user reach the file?

Try:

su - -s /bin/bash zabbix
ls -l <file>

What do you get?
