RHEL Zabbix

[Sunildev]

I am configuring the zabbix agent on a RHEL 4 machine. I attempt to start it and it reports that it has failed.

Var/log/messages reports the following error:

kernel: zabbix_agentd[12915] trap divide error rip:32b6607927 rsp:7fbffff680 error:0

I installed and configured the agent using the following post:

https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-help/43495-rhel4-and-zabbix

uname -a:

Linux ######### 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:56:44 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

using agents:

zabbix-agent-2.0.18-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
zabbix_agents_2.0.18.linux2_6.amd64.tar.gz

Appreciate any help you can give.

Hello,

Can you please specify, where you trying ti run it before configurations were made or after?

Also, will the zabbix server will be running on the same machine?

I built a CentOS 4.9 environment and checked the zabbix_agentd in the download file(zabbix_agents_2.0.18.linux2_6.amd64.tar.gz). Because zabbix_agentd contained in this file was compiled using glibc 2.5, it could not be started on CentOS 4.9 with glibc 2.3.4.
To run on RHEL 4, you should compile from source.

# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
# tar zxvf zabbix-2.0.21.tar.gz
# cd zabbix-2.0.21/
# ./configure --enable-agent
# make
# cp -p src/zabbix_agent/zabbix_agentd /usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd

I installed and then configured the agent. So after.

I have zabbix server running on a different machine.

I built a CentOS 4.9 environment and checked the zabbix_agentd in the download file(zabbix_agents_2.0.18.linux2_6.amd64.tar.gz). Because zabbix_agentd contained in this file was compiled using glibc 2.5, it could not be started on CentOS 4.9 with glibc 2.3.4.
To run on RHEL 4, you should compile from source.

# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
# tar zxvf zabbix-2.0.21.tar.gz
# cd zabbix-2.0.21/
# ./configure --enable-agent
# make
# cp -p src/zabbix_agent/zabbix_agentd /usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd

I will try this and report back.

Thank you very much. The agent is now up and running.
