Zabbix and XEN => io / vfs.read

[DiedX]

Hi there,

We are currently implementing Zabbix as our primairy monitoring tool. The Zabbix Server is running on an normal dedicated host. The 2 beta-machines are running in XEN-Zones.

I previously had bad experiences with virtuozzo (SWSoft) and Zabbix, but that saga seems to continue with XEN:

[root@web2 sysconfig]# zabbix_agentd -t vfs.dev.write[]
vfs.dev.write[] [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
[root@web2 sysconfig]# zabbix_agentd -t vfs.dev.write[*]
vfs.dev.write[*] [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
[root@web2 sysconfig]# zabbix_agentd -t vfs.dev.write[]
vfs.dev.write[] [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
[root@web2 sysconfig]# zabbix_agentd -t vfs.dev.write[,]
vfs.dev.write[,] [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
[root@web2 sysconfig]# zabbix_agentd -t io90
io90 [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
[root@web2 sysconfig]# zabbix_agentd -t io[]
io [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
[root@web2 sysconfig]# zabbix_agentd -t io[*]
io [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
[root@web2 sysconfig]#

Communication works, because the load of 1,5 and 15 minutes is included in graphs. Is there a fix, or should we really go back to SNMP just for the load?

Version 1.4.2. Everything is running Centos5.

Thanks for helping!
