FreeBSD with 2 network cards

[miker]

Hi there, I'm new here and new to Zabbix. Here is my issue.

On one of my FreeBSD servers I'm getting no data for the Network traffic graph. I get data for all of the other graphs, just not this one. Now I know that this particular server has two network cards and I'm certain it is monitoring the wrong one of the two. Any help on how to configure the change would be greatly appreciated.

I am running Zabbix 2.08 and FreeBSD 8.2.

Many thanks in advance.

Run the following command in the terminal to get the network related value from your Zabbix agent:

zabbix_agentd -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf -t net.if.out[eth0,bytes]

Replace "eth0" with your network interface name. There are also LLD for network interfaces available...

Thanks Pada, I tried

zabbix_agentd -c /usr/local/etc/zabbix2/zabbix_agentd.conf -t net.if.out[eth1,bytes]

As our install location was not default. But I get the error "zabbix_agentd: no match".

That probably means that your kernel is denying access to your network info for zabbix_agentd.

Have a look at this thread which may be a similar issue: https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41561

Please take note that I have little/no knowledge about FreeBSD. I haven't had that issue with Ubuntu, Fedora Core or RHEL yet.
