New function out in Zabbix?

[predatorz]

Have check in the release notes for Zabbix 1.3.x, but no mention of the below function.

May I know is the new function, valcount() or count(period,value) out in x1.3.x? or it is to be released in 1.4 ?

Can i also know if i compile zabbix with the following command (./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp), will there be any error when zabbix starts to monitor?

What is the use for compilling with --with-libcurl or --with-jabber?

Thanks.

installing with --with-jabber I believe will let you use a local jabber server for sending out actions, but please let someone with more experience assist you with that.

as for --with-libcurl, I'm not sure what that adds support for. However, if you run a local jabber server and have a client running, getting your info via IM is kinda nice.

Greetings,

According to Alexei, these will be available in 1.4, but I have not seen them in 1.3.x yet. Please note I have not looked at anything newer than 1.3.3, so I am a bit out of date.

--with-libcurl is for compiling in the new web testing tools in the new version of Zabbix. These features allow you to perform various web request scenarios directly via Zabbix, instead of having to script them as we currently do in 1.1.x.

--with-jabber is for compiling in the new Jabber notification system. This allows Zabbix to use the Jabber / XMPP protocol for notifications, so you can receive notifications via Google talk, Jabber, etc.

Thanks for the information.

Have saw the count function in the rev 5 doc that comes with zabbix 1.3.7, will be trying it soon. Hope everything goes well, hope that function will reduce the false alerts problem.

Hi,

I compile zabbix with ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-curl, compilation successful. Have copied the frontends to /var/www/html, when i try to configure the frontend, it always hang at step 3, check of prerequistes, using IE, it give a setup.php 'script error', using firefox, it will just show a blank page, stuck at setup.php.
Iptables and selinux is disabled...

have tried ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp, compile success but also the same problem as above.

Any solutions?

Jabber as far as I know is for the external notification processes.

Which version of IE are you using and are your cookies enabled or not?
