You may find the answer here

Also note that zabbix has permission to view other users ' processes.

I can't find zabbix-agent2 root user config doc

Are you sure that you need agent2 ? What's wrong with agent?

Agent have the same error.

test cmd:
zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -k'proc.num[php-fpm]'

This seems to be the approach to fix it: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation..._mem_num_notes
So if someone who is invested in this would like to make that update, I think it would solve a lot of annoyance with monitoring PHP-FPM.

Since it took me way to long to resolve this myself. Here is the simple fix for the PHP-FPM by Zabbix agent template

1. Add a new macro to the template

the user is typically www-data but do ps -ef|grep php-fpm to confirm

Macro: {$PHP_FPM.USER}
Value: www-data

2. Update existing Item "PHP-FPM: Number of processes running" key
from

proc.num["{$PHP_FPM.PROCESS_NAME}"]

to:

proc.num[,"{$PHP_FPM.USER}",,"{$PHP_FPM.PROCESS_NAME}"]

Thanks for this. It helped me to monitor php-fpm in an old ubuntu14
