Hi All!

I´m very new to Zabbix and I have no experience with it. I was asked by my boss to find a solution to monitor the ISL of all the SANs and to creata a automaticaly a weekly report of the bandwidth usage of it.

I downloaded the 2.0.6 appliance and launch it with the VM Player on a Windows Server 2003, where also BNA is running (as a backup unit).

I have modifyed the zabbix_server.conf and set the External Script folder.
ExternalScripts=/etc/zabbix/externalscripts
This folder is recognized by Zabbix, as I have created an test item with a small shell script to see if it works.
Then in /etc/zabbix/externalscripts directory I place echo.something script with appropriate permissions.

I also have added the two value mapping requested in the install guide.

1) But, I have no idea how to continue. What have I to do with this echo.something? create an item in Zabbi?
2) Each time I try to import the brocade xml files, I get the error:
XML file contains fatal error 41:Specification mandate value for attribute data-pjax-transient [ Line: 28 | Column: 40 ].

I can not download it with CURL, as I have no internet connection, so I have do it localy.

Any suggestion? Someone did managed to install ans setup it correctly? Any screenshots?

Best Regards,

-Jarno

Do you have any access on a linux workstation with a GUI? Does not matter if it's a virtual machine or not. Install curl on that machine, download the templates and add them in zabbix webinterface.

I think there is a problem with windows formatting some chars so importing the templates from a windows machine fails. Though it works like a charm if you use curl on a linux machine.

Thanks. I will try it.

BTW: Any comparision to Cacti? Cacti have also some Brocade Templates.
