Not support by Zabbix Agent

[Lozzano]

I can only believe that this must have been brought up a million times, but I am trying to figure out why some Items, which are under the category "Zabbix Agent", come with the error which I wrote in topic.

I am more specificly talking about net.tcp.service.perf[,8.8.8.8,53] <- That one does that, and I couldn't think of a reason why. The sames goes for some of the mysql items, they give the same errors.

Hope to get some info on this topic

What happens if you try: net.tcp.service.perf[ssh,8.8.8.8,53]

http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/1.8/manual/config/items#zabbix_agent

[Lozzano]

I guess you mean dns? As port 53 is used as by DNS services. Or do you want me to try to type in ssh?

You can try dns instead of ssh if you want. You won't break anything!

But if you read the link I posted before, you will see that net.tcp.service.perf doesn't support dns. However, you will see ways to monitor dns - read the link, search for dns.

Use zabbix_get for testing:

zabbix_get -s 192.168.xx.xx -k net.tcp.service.perf[ssh,192.168.xx.xx,53]

Right, so I tried this zabbix_get but I don't get any response from it? Does it save the information in a file somewhere? Or how does it work? I have also tried commands that I know are working on the server, same result.

First, I would suggest that you find zabbix_get on your Zabbix server. Try locate or which zabbix_get. Then go to that directory and type ./zabbix_get -h

The result of the zabbix_get command will be shown on the screen, not in a log file. Here are examples of a successful zabbix_get, and one that is not supported.

[root@zabbix ~]# zabbix_get -s 192.168.xx.xx -k net.tcp.service.perf[ssh,192.168.xx.xx,22]

[root@zabbix ~]#
[root@zabbix ~]# zabbix_get -s 192.168.xx.xx -k net.tcp.service.perf[dns,192.168.xx.xx,53]
ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED
