Disable discovery. What are you trying to find?

[MichaelF]

Yes, of course. Seems I was wrong: on the first server all items had worked only once as on the second server - Zabbix was just displaying that first values on the hosts page for ~ a week...

[MichaelF]

"Disable discovery. What are you trying to find?" - sorry, didn't get it... I'm trying to understand why the items added to my hosts stopped producing any values - just 1 item for each host still works.

[max.ch.88]

P.S. ZABBIX keeps complaining "Problem: Zabbix discoverer processes more than 75% busy" - is it normal for a virtual machine (Hyper-V) with two virtual processors and 4GB of RAM providing there're only two hosts to monitor and 7 items for each host?

What are you using discoverer processes for?

[brunohl]

Please post your item configuration for the SIZE itens. And also please check your queue on "Administration >> Queue", just in case.

[MichaelF]

1) vfs.dir.size[c:\exchange]
2) vfs.fs.size[c:,pfree]

"Administration >> Queue = all zeros.

[brunohl]

If you can, upload a screenshot of itens configuration

[MichaelF]

Here they are:

[brunohl]

Well, that's strange...

Everything seems correct..

What you receive when you run?

zabbix_get -s 10.1.1.11 -k vfs.dir.size[c:\exchange]

And

zabbix_get -s exch1.testenterprise.net -k vfs.dir.size[c:\exchange]

Also, run "ps aux | grep zabbix" on your server and post results to see if your workers are ok.

[MichaelF]

"What are you using discoverer processes for?" - just for thesting purposes... Disabled it.
zabbix_get -s 10.1.1.11 (or exch1...) -k vfs.dir.size[c:\exchange] = ZBX_Notsupported ... No such file or directory. - This strange because this item was returning earlier either "Timeout" or (after increasing timeout to 30sec) - the real directory size value. Now DirSize returns the error (No such file or directory) for ANY existing folder. ps aux | grep zabbix - please see the attachments (17-0 - the first screen with the -more option, 17 - the second one without -more).

Is this problem with ms-windows servers only? What is the timeout value in zabbix_agentd.conf?

[MichaelF]

Is this problem with ms-windows servers only? - yes, I haven't deploy Zabbix agent to any other computer yet. Timeout = 30sec.

Try running:

zabbix_get -s exch1.testenterprise.net -k vfs.dir.size[c:/exchange]

[MichaelF]

zabbix_get -s exch1.testenterprise.net -k vfs.dir.size[c:/exchange] = Timeout. Anyway, the previous [c:\exchange] did work at first!

[brunohl]

OK, but I guess you have to use as "vfs.dir.size[c:/exchange]". On my Windows Server it only works that way.

So, Timeout, is Timeout, either you will have to find a way to execute it faster, or find another way of doing this.

Maybe zabbix_sender + zabbix_trapper? active agent?

I don't know what best suit your needs.
