cat: Schreibfehler: Datenübergabe unterbrochen (broken pipe)

Hi Forum!

When zabbix server (and agentd) v1.1beta8 are started (on Fedora Core 4), i get this errors into console:

cat: Schreibfehler: Datenübergabe unterbrochen (broken pipe)

Krusty told me to check the rights in the logdir, but that's ok there:

[root@dori zabbix]# ll
insgesamt 8312
-rw-rw-rw- 1 zabbix zabbix 1512 7. Apr 09:33 agentd.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 zabbix zabbix 36309 7. Apr 09:35 server.log
-rw-rw-rw- 1 zabbix zabbix 8449105 7. Apr 09:34 server.log.old
-rw-rw-rw- 1 zabbix zabbix 606 6. Apr 14:17 zabbix_trapperd.log

I didn't find any logfiles containing that errormessage.
When turning zabbix off, the errors don't appear...

Can somebody please help ?

thx,

Console-Errors like this appear if you have some commands executing in zabbix_agentd.conf as items, wich are not correctly.

What does

# grep "cat" /$path/zabbix_agentd.conf

tell you?

P.S: german-languaged linux'es are bad!
I rememeber in

/dev/hdx ist eingehaengt auf ...

messages.

[root@dori zabbix]# grep "cat" /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
[root@dori zabbix]# grep "cat" /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent.conf
[root@dori zabbix]#

i didn't add / activate anything in ####### USER-DEFINED MONITORED PARAMETERS #######...


...

and yes, you're right! Denglish-Linux sometimes talks bullshit! :P

Strange...
Did u use precompiled binaries or did u compiled them yourself?

- xai

[just2blue4u]

i compiled them by myself (no zabbix RPMs later than 1.0.2 for Fedora core 4 available)

[xaitax]

Last idea I have:

Do you use relative or abosulte path for logging to file in zabbix_agentd.log?

- xai

[just2blue4u]

cat /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf | grep log
# Name of log file.
# If not set, syslog will be used
#LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_agentd.log
LogFile=/var/log/zabbix/agentd.log
[root@dori zabbix-1.1beta8]#

sorry, absolute paths.

I turned the log level to absolute verbosity (4), but even the agentd.log doesn't show any mysterious lines...

[xaitax]

Let him try logging to syslog -> so we see if error still occurs.
If so, we can exclude, logging engine fails.

i commented the logfile-line in conf while staying in loglevel 4, but i don't get anything onto console...
