vfs.file.regexp Problem

[Achim55]

Hi members of Zabbix Forums,

I´m using zabbix agent in a Linux machine running (Debian) The zabbix agent is running and works fine.

But when I decided to use a new key to check a string in a text file using vfs.file.regexp, I had some problems:

vfs.file.regexp[/var/log/fail2ban,WARNING]

Answer :Not supported by Zabbix Agent!




Thanks a lot

File access permissions ok ? Can 'zabix user read /var/log/fail2ban file ?

Hi!
Yes i have.

-rwsrwsrwt  1 root     adm         3136 Okt 21 14:40 fail2ban.log

The configuration is ok?

i have a new Error:
Received value [2016-10-21 14:05:40,664 fail2ban.actions[3576]: WARNING [ssh] Ban 88.152.185.2] is not suitable for value type [Numeric (unsigned)] and data type [Decimal]

You need to change fail2ban.actions item 'Type of information' from Numeric to Text or Log.

i have change 'Type of information' from Numeric to Text or Log.

Then comes : Not supported by Zabbix Agent!

Documentation https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...s/zabbix_agent says that
vfs.file.regexp[] returns "The line containing the matched string, or as specified by the optional output parameter".
So, as 'nobodysu' already noted, in general case 'Type of information" should be 'Log'.
You can increase DebugLevel to 4 in agent config. file and try to find out why agent complains about this item.
