proc.num and multiple Apache instances

[rbarrero]

Hi all;

Having a problem using proc.num according to the documetation v1.1. I have a server running multiple instances of apache (httpd)... we have many sites running on one machine using different configuration files and docroots.

My setup:
- RHEL ES 4.4
- zabbix 1.1.4
- debug level is set to 4
- sudo is configured properly for user 'zabbix' (tested thoroughly)
- EnableRemoteCommands=1

On the remote system (running zabbix_agentd):
'ps -f -C httpd | grep root'

Gives the following:
"/usr/sbin/httpd -f /cluster/funkyweb/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -k start"

with PID of 17830.

Still on remote system:

"cat /proc/17830/cmdline"

Gives:
"/usr/sbin/httpd-f/cluster/arincd3phweb/httpd/conf/httpd.conf-kstart"

...............

On zabbix server system:

"./bin/zabbix_get -s www.site.com -p 10050 -k proc.num[httpd,root,,funky]"

Reports: 0

"./bin/zabbix_get -s www.site.com -p 10050 -k proc.num[httpd,root,,httpd]"

Reports: 7

From what I can gather... I can use the proc.num() 'cmdline' argument only up to the first space of the actual command line in the ps outout ("-f")... which is why I get 7 instances returned. However, trying to use anything after the initial command doesn't work ("funky").

Alexei, any ideas?

Thank you!

The problem with parsing of cmdline was fixed in the latest ZABBIX 1.1.6 agents.

still doesn't work

Hi;

I've updated all clients and servers to the latest release 1.1.6 and I still have the get the same result. Not only for multiple instances of Apache, but also for some daemons... examples below.

Help?

##BEGIN##
Command:
"ps -f -C cg_connector_gnd"

Result:
"root 24085 1 0 Feb28 ? 00:00:00 /cluster/cg/connector/bin/cg_connector_gnd"

"cat /proc/24085/cmdline"
Result:
"/cluster/cg/connector/bin/cg_connector_gnd"

Zabbix Command:
"./zabbix_get -s cg.site.com -p 10050 -k proc.num[cg_connector_gnd,,,]"

Result:
"0"

Zabbix Command:
"./zabbix_get -s cg.site.com -p 10050 -k proc.num[cg_connector_gnd]"

Result:
"0"
##EOF##

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I have a similar problem with a new install of 1.4 on MySQL. Here is the reproduction:

ps -ef returns (among other lines):
apps 6254 1 0 05:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/apps/common/debit wp
apps 6255 1 0 05:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/apps/common/debit wp


zabbix_get -s bourne -p 10050 -k proc.num[debit,,,]
45

zabbix_get -s bourne -p 10050 -k proc.num[debit,,,wp]
0 (Should be 2)
