    No disk space or network graphs for Linux?

    I'm new to Zabbix and I haven't had much luck finding the answer to my question, but where do you configure disk space/network checks? My setup is hit and miss. For example:

    Windows 7 and Server 2008R2 agent gives me CPU load, drive usage, and network traffic
    FreeBSD agent gives me CPU load, jumps, util, disk space, network traffic, and network utilization
    Linux agent only gives me CPU jumps, load, util and swap usage

    The "latest data" for one of the Linux boxes shows data from the following:
    CPU (13 items)
    General (5 items)
    Memory (5 items)
    OS (8 items)
    Performance (13 items)
    Processes (2 items)
    Security (2 items)
    Zabbix agent (3 items)

    The FreeBSD box shows the above (with different item counts) plus the addition of Filesystems and Network Interfaces.

    How do I add those data functions to the Linux servers?

    What version of Zabbix are you using?

      Sorry. I'm running a fresh install of 2.0.5 on Ubuntu Server 12.10. Oddly enough, all of the stats I want to pull from Linux boxes are showing up for the Zabbix server itself.

      Also, the agents are installed via apt-get or /usr/ports or the binary Windows installers from suiviperf.com

      The only changes I've made to the agents is the zabbix servername and enabled active checks.

        OK, looks like the Linux clients are 1.8.11 and the BSD clients are 2.0.3

        Installing 2.0.5 on a Linux box now to see if that does it.

          Based on what you said, it sounds like you are just using the default templates that are provided. If you want other data to be collected, you need to add items to templates or hosts. Here is the documentation page that talks about that:

            That will help. With the 2.x clients, there is a default discovery rule that is part of each OS's basic template. They will do automatic discovery of your interfaces and filesystems for you, and give you basic graphs for each of those.

            Note that discovery rules can take between 30 - 60 minutes to update initially, but then you'll be good to go.

              That was the problem. The 2.x update fixed it. Sometimes you forget to look at the simple things (version numbers!)

              Thanks!

                Next, look at creating screens with graphs... Configuration --> Screens.
                have fun.
