ICMP monitoring with map events

[carlos_souza]

Could you tell a little bit more about ICMP pings?

Could you change DebugLevel=4 and give some information from zabbix_server.log file where we can read about errors with ICMP/fping correlated?

For sure, aib!

But the log file is so big... I'll post only the error about fping, ok?

At the beginning of the file the predominant erorr is :

6555:20140228:200036.915 fping failed: "/usr/sbin/fping6: can't create raw socket (must run as root?) : Operation not permitted."

At the end of the file, the predominant error is:

2152:20140306:175003.411 At least one of '/usr/sbin/fping' , '/usr/sbin/fping6/' must exist. Both are missing in the system.

try to cheat the system.

1) copy fping & fping6 in new location
# cp /usr/sbin/fping* /sbin

2) change the settings in zabbix_server.conf
- uncomment lines
# FpingLocation=/usr/sbin/fping
# Fping6Location=/usr/sbin/fping6
- change the path to correct one
FpingLocation=/sbin/fping
Fping6Location=/sbin/fping6

3) To be completely protected, repeat the same set of commands as before:
# chown root:zabbix /sbin/fping
# chown root:zabbix /sbin/fping6
# chmod 710 /sbin/fping
# chmod 710 /sbin/fping6
# chmod ug+s /sbin/fping
# chmod ug+s /sbin/fping6
# chmod +s /sbin/fping
# chmod +s /sbin/fping6
4) Add some settings in /etc/sudousers

zabbix ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/fping
zabbix ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/fping6

5) restart zabbix_server and check the errors :
#/etc/init.d/zabbix-server restart
# grep -i fping /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log

6) Show us the result.

Does it sound like a plan?

Thanks for the idea, aib! But the problem still the same...

2152:20140306:175003.411 At least one of '/sbin/fping' , '/sbin/fping6/' must exist. Both are missing in the system.

I'll try to reinstall zabbix... but thanks!

Did you escaped from the second message ?

6555:20140228:200036.915 fping failed: "/usr/sbin/fping6: can't create raw socket (must run as root?) : Operation not permitted."

Also I find the notes that - sometimes - it happens when user zabbix not in group zabbix.

Try this command
# usermod -a -G zabbix zabbix

and restart zabbix_server.

OK?

This message erros stoped to appear to me. But I still not have permission.
I'll try to reinstall zabbix with the vmdk. Thanks.

Did you try my last command which add zabbix user in zabbix group?
