    Log file monitoring (again, sorry...)

    Like many before me (judging from Google), I haven't been able to get log monitoring to work. I am new to Zabbix.

    I created a host with one item:
    Name: test
    Type: Zabbix agent (active)
    Key: log.count[/tmp/test.log,"error"]
    Type info: Numeric (unsigned)

    "Latest data" show no data and no value for last check.

    Running agent with debug level 4 reports:
    ... In refresh_active_checks() host:'127.0.0.1' port:10051
    ... sending [{"request":"active checks","host":"Zabbix server"}]
    ... before read
    ... got [{"response":"success","data":[]}]
    ... In parse_list_of_checks()
    ... End of parse_list_of_checks():SUCCEED
    ... End of refresh_active_checks():SUCCEED

    According to

    comment #12, the "got" line should have some data, and there should be lines mentioning the active checks to do.

    The other problem is that in Administration/Queues shows all with 0 items *except* "Zabbix Agent (active)" which has my active check queued for a long time.

    What I've checked:
    - /tmp/test.log, exists, has content that matches regex, is world readable.
    - The item is *not* marked as unsupported on Latest Data page.
    - zabbix_agentd.conf:
    PidFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid
    LogFile=/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.log
    LogFileSize=0
    DebugLevel=4
    Server=127.0.0.1,10.1.65.222
    ServerActive=127.0.0.1
    Hostname=Zabbix server [matches name in Hosts page]
    Include=/opt/zabbix/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/*.conf [these are empty]
    - zabbix_server.conf:
    LogFile=/var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log
    PidFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_server.pid
    DBName=zabbix
    DBUser=****
    DBPassword=****
    Timeout=4
    AlertScriptsPath=/opt/zabbix/etc/alert.d/
    FpingLocation=/usr/bin/fping
    LogSlowQueries=3000
    Include=/opt/zabbix/etc/zabbix_server.conf.d/*.conf
    - Server log does not seem to have anything that looked relevant.
    - Both server and agent have been restarted multiple times.
    - Zabbix 3.4 on Ubuntu-18.04.

    I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple but I've read the manual until my eyes hurt and after spending most of the day on this figure it's time to ask....
Working...
