no info about the monitored client

[myzabbix168]

Hello,

I have configured zabbix server and zabbix agentd .
both have been started and I have added the client machine into configuration ->hosts.

also I opened firewall 10050 in zabbix agent and 10051 in zabbix server
(is it required in both?).

the log file in both zabbix server and zabbix client doesn't have any error.

When I clicked around and cannot find cpu/memory/disk etc information for the monitored machine under zabbix php GUI.

click inventory shows nothing, but host machine can be found under configuration/host.

from dashboard, it shows one machine monitored under Linux servers without problem.

how do I know the configuration is done correctly? where to find the cpu/memory/disk information for the monitored client machine?

Thanks.

If you don't see any cpu/memory/disk information, means that your zabbix server can't connect to your zabbix agent.

Have you added items to your monitored host?, Which color do you see on the "Z" of your items?.

Try to telnet your zabbix agent server port 10050 from your zabbix server.

Check your zabbix agent configuration file.

When you " added the client machine into configuration ->hosts. ",did you attach a template to the host?

Are the items enabled? See Conf > Hosts > Items

You will see the data at Monitoring > Latest Data

thanks for the help.
it looks that I need to attach the templates when adding the host for monitoring.

However, the attached templates contains too many monitored items.
is there a way to make a copy of templates and make modification to create
a new template? I don't mind to try to login via console to modify the file
directly.

I just tried from GUI for exporting the selected templates
and got the following error:

[Fri Oct 08 10:34:11 2010] [error] [client 4.59.220.62] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'include/classes/class.domdocument.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/zabbix/include/config.inc.php on line 70, referer: http://ec2-184-72-85-98.compute-1.am...52981e4d0a1f2a

is it a bug in the software?
thanks.

How to customize your own template.

Conf > Templates :Click on Template_Windows
At the bottom of the page click on Full Clone.
Give your template a name 'MyWateredDownWinTemplate' and save.

Find your template in the list of templates and click on items.
Select the items that you don't want, then in the bottom drop-down box choose Delete selected items.

Hi MrKen,
there is no full clone option to click under configuration->template.

If I Click on Template_Windows, there are three options at the bottom.
1) export selected
2) deleted selected
3) deleted selected with link item

If I select 1) and click "go", it will get the error:

I use zabbix 1.8.3 (the latest verseion)

I find that I need to select and click the template to bring up a web page that has the button for clone.
it should be fine now.
