someone canhelpme please?

[amadriga]

Je ne pas parlez francois but it seems that you do not have any C compiler installed!! Tou have to install the necessary C packages on your linux.

And if that same machine will be your server you have to configure with --enable-server and --enable-agent and get both things done at the end.

Zabbix serveur is an other computer
thanks i will try to instal what you says.

please someone can help me and tell me what is wrong please?

[amadriga]

Did you put the IP address of the server in tehe zabbix_agentd.conf? IUs the server running?

[mika2006]

ye si put the ip adress serveur on zabbix_agentd.conf an zabbix_agent.conf

but i think i can make this command :
/etc/init.d/inetd restart
i restart the computer but no change zabbix don't comunicate with my client machine

[amadriga]

Can you put tour zabbix_agentd.conf file here.

It seems that the agent is trying to connect to himself! (127.0.0.1 is the local address and 10051 is the agent port).

[mika2006]

well i have probléme at this step:

restart the agent:
#/etc/init.d/inetd restart

i have this on my redhat 4es :

[root@localhost /]# /etc/init.d/inetd restart
bash: /etc/init.d/inetd: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type

what is this files please and i need to creat it or not?

In your case, that's not absolutely necessary, it is just to automate the start and stop of the agent.

First you have to get your agent running right. And by the logs it cannot connect to the server.

Installation d'un client zabbix sur Redaht4es

# 1. Create the ZABBIX account and unzip zabbix
Donc je sais pas comment on fais sous red hat pour créer un nouveau compte en ligne de commande mais en graphique sa donne ceci:

login: zabbix
pass:zabbix

# Untar ZABBIX sources.
on récupére le fichier et on dézippe:

#wget http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sou...x-1.1.7.tar.gz
# tar xvzf zabbix-1.1.7.tar.gz
#cd zabbix-1.1.7

# 2. Configuration et compilation du source code:

#cd zabbix-1.1.7
#./configure --enable-agent

# 3. Build agent:

# make
# make install

Créer des repertoire pour les exécutables ( je crois je suis pas sur):

# mkdir /etc/zabbix
# mkdir /etc/zabbix/bin

Copy created binaries from bin/ to /etc/zabbix/bin
#cp bin/ /etc/zabbix/bin
#cp misc/conf/* /etc/zabbix/

# 4. Configure /etc/services

The step is not real requirement. However, it is recommended.

On the client (monitored) machines, add the following lines to /etc/services:

zabbix_agent 10050/tcp
zabbix_trap 10051/tcp

# 5. Configure /etc/inetd.conf

If you plan to use zabbix_agent instead of the recommended zabbix_agentd, the following line must be added:

zabbix_agent stream tcp nowait.3600 zabbix /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agent

Restart inetd

shell> killall -HUP inetd

# 6. Configure /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent.conf

You need to configure this file for every host having zabbix_agent installed. The file should contain IP address of ZABBIX server. Connections from other hosts will be denied. Note, that no end of line character should present in the file.

You may take misc/conf/zabbix_agent.conf as example.

# 7. Configure /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

You need to configure this file for every host with zabbix_agentd installed. The file should contain IP address of ZABBIX server. Connections from other hosts will be denied. You may take misc/conf/zabbix_agentd.conf as example.

# 8. Run zabbix_agentd on all monitored machines

shell> /opt/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agentd

Note that you should not run zabbix_agentd if you have chosen to use zabbix_agent!


Pour voir le log si il y a des probléme
more /tmp/zabbbix_agentd.log

good luck!
