windows eventlogs (active checks) / zabbix 1.1

[Philippe]

Hi,

i use zabbix 1.1 and try to monitor windows eventlogs but it is not working.
In latest data, i only get a "-" in last check and last value.
in history, there is no data.
i configured the item like this:

Description: eventlog[System]
Type: ZABBIX agent (active)
Key: eventlog[System]
Type of info: LOG
update int: 30
history: 90
trends: 90
Status: Monitored

My zabbix agent is started as service on the windows computer and i get all other values that i need.
i can do a telnet to the server (telnet x.x.x.x 10051)

in my windows-zabbix-logfile i get:
[27-Jun-2006 14:19:04] *************** Log file opened ****************
[27-Jun-2006 14:19:04] Collector thread initialized successfully

[27-Jun-2006 14:19:04] Information: 1004 : Listen thread is Started.

.....when i start the service.

this is the zabbix_agentd.conf on windows:

is the hostname of the monitored system in the webinterface zabbix?

if not change the hostname in the windows conf-file to the name given in the webinterface.
