problems monitoring log files

[Pablo]

Hello,
I don't be able to monitor log files. Somebody can help me???

I have installed correctly de agent.
This the most important parameter of the zabbix_agentd:

Hostname=localhost.localdomain
#(it's the same name of the host created in zabbix frontend)
#DisableActive=1
#EnableRemoteCommands=1
#(this lines are comments).

I create this item:
Description: syslog
Type:zabbix agent
key:log[/var/log/syslog]
Type of information:log


zabbix agent can make: tail -f /var/log/syslog

When I save the item I get this message:

Parameter [log[/var/log/syslog]] is not supported by agent on host [localhost.localdomain] Old status [0]

Thanks
Pablo

Change type to 'ZABBIX agent (active)" to make it work.
