Monitoring Network Intervia via ACTIVE MODE

[pogingfacs]

Hi Zabbix,

I've figured out how to monitor my server outside my network using Active Mode,

But i've encountered problem monitoring their network traffic using Active mode



But my server showing this "Not Supported"

and my client "active check "net.if.out[if,<mode>]" is not supported: Cannot obtain network interface information."

Is their any work around how can i monitor the in and out on the network interface on my server?

ThankS!

Your response is highly appreciated.

Please check if there is an interface named eth0.
For example in windows, I think that it is not the interface name eth0.

Ubuntu / RHEL 6 / CentOS 6

$ ifconfig eth0

RHEL 7 / CentOS 7

$ ip a show dev eth0

What OS are you trying to Monitor with active checks?
as Atsushi said, please verify that the Interface "eth0" exists.

you can do this on unix Systems with root user:

ifconfig

I've used this,

net.if.in[if,Ethernet]

but when i look at latest data its empty? theirs no error on the client side

On the web UI "Cannot obtain network interface information."

I've use this key, net.if.out[if,<mode>] what really the mode is?

[Atsushi]

If you are using Windows, your key settings will be incorrect.

There will be no interface with interface name "if".
The value of "Ethernet" can not be specified as the second argument.

Please check the list of network interfaces on the command prompt.

ex.

> zabbix_agentd.exe -t net.if.list
