Native Android zabbix_agentd

[gazzerh]

I am looking to monitor android devices and wondering if anyone has had any success compiling an android binary?

[gazzerh]

So is this even possible?

hi gazzerh,
Have you had any luck in getting a zabbix agent running on android.
I am also interested in getting this working.

i think android‘s Substance is linux,and zabbix is a tool all kinds of os,i think it mybe Feasible。
but android has a postive feature，the Garbage collection mechanism,i wonder the system will kill the process of zabbix-agent ,and android can not be monitored from that time ?

I think creating a java wrapper around the zabbix agentd c code may be too difficult. The device I want to monitor has an arm cortex a8 processor. My best bet is to compile the code natively on the linux (android OS) platform and get it to run at that level. Not sure how easy this will be.

in my opinion,if you are working in windows,and you may try cygwin,it can make files into .so ,so you can use the .so libs in linux (android ),such as FFMPEG,with cygwin i make my code into .so,and it can be detected in the android os.

Until Android is (more) Posix-compliant...

You can pay for Z4X Agentd (haven't, no idea if it's any good)

..or...

Install a Linux distro ((Complete) Linux Installer for example) and monitor via SNMP.

BTW, the agent built for armel (Debian) worked on a Samsung YP-G70 running CM7. Not sure if it was architecture (doubt it) or more standard SHM and semaphore support from the OS (more likely). Not taking time to research because SNMP is just fine.
