Zabbix on FreeNAS

[afagund]

Hi,

Can someone help me understand the procedure below? I did not understand the section "under System - init/shutdown scripts". Where should that section be executed? Looks like something is missing or not well detailed.

Thanks!
Andre

You need to say a bit with what you have problems to understand

[afagund]

I did not understand where those commands from that section should be executed. Is that on FreeNAS shell? If that is on FreeNAS, where that mount point and files comes from?

It looks like it wants you to put a config on some mount you create, then it will copy that to /etc/zabbix in each startup. This looks like the old startup/shutdown before service or systemd. I think you put things in the order you want them started.

Maybe post the file for an example.

Nope, FreeNAS=FreeBSD, no systemd! From web-interface you can install only jail/pbi apps, but from the console view full freedom of the FreeBSD

Login to the FreeNAS using SSH, open /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/local.conf and set:

local: {
url: «file:///usr/ports/packages»,
enabled: false
}

Next find /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf:

FreeBSD: {
enabled: yes
}

From now run pkg update:

Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue…
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.

Here you are, find zabbix (man pkg) and install!
Another option to monitor FreeNAS using SNMP: https://share.zabbix.com/storage-devices/freenas-11

This procedure works great. Thanks kernbug!

[afagund]

I will test the procedure and will get back here with an update.

Thanks!

Here is the final procedure I followed. This works great on FreeNAS-11.1-U5. Just had issue with Zabbix template. I was not able to find a FreeNAS template which uses agent for monitoring - just SNMP. For that reason I am using the FreeBSD template, which gives a basic monitoring.

------------------------------------------------

Login to the FreeNAS using SSH

------------------------------------------------

vi /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/local.conf

local: {
url: «file:///usr/ports/packages»,
enabled: false
}

------------------------------------------------

vi /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

Code:
FreeBSD: {
enabled: yes
}

------------------------------------------------

pkg update

------------------------------------------------

pkg seach zabbix

------------------------------------------------

pkg install zabbix34-agent-3.4.8

------------------------------------------------

vi /etc/rc.conf

# Enable zabbix agent
zabbix_agentd_enable="YES"

------------------------------------------------

cp /etc/local/zabbix34/zabbix_agentd.conf.sample /etc/local/zabbix34/zabbix_agentd.conf

------------------------------------------------

service -e | grep zabbix

service zabbix_agentd start

------------------------------------------------

vi /etc/local/zabbix34/zabbix_agentd.conf

Server=<zabbix_server_ip>

------------------------------------------------

Thanks!

and after update your zabbix agent will be purged. Use snmp template and dont worry. IMHO

After reboot FreeNAS zabbix_agent is mising.
Pls help.
