Zabbix 6.4.x - Apache by Zabbix Agent 6.4.0 Template - apache.proc.num

[Mounting1050]

Hello,
I'm new i this forum, but i have a problem with apache2 monitoring and I don't know how to fix it, i'm just started some months ago evaluation Zabbix for different kind of monitoring so i'm far away from being an expert.

So my problem is the following, i try to monitor an Apache2 on an Debian 11.8 with zabbix_agent (6.4.7) installed, and attached Template Apache by Zabbix Agent.

Most of the Time it works fine, but then and now it seems the Apache Discovery has a problem and detect apache2ctl instead of apache2 as value for apache.proc.num.

So when i look up Latest Data for the Host i have two entries of Apache: Number of running processes
One with - Key: apache.proc.num[apache2ctl] (wrong) and one with Key: apache.proc.num[apache2] (correct)

And now i'm getting a warning apache2 process not running, from the apache.proc.num[apache2ctl], but yes apache i running fine only the wrong process is monitored as it was identified wrong.

How could i prevent from happening that the apache2ctl is found as apache2 process ?

Thank you for any hint.

Hello,

Have you found a solution to your problem? I have exactly the same issue on one of my servers.

[dominicpratt]

I had the same problem only with different process names. In my case the culprit was

libapache2-mod-*

The Apache process on my system is called

apache2

I solved the problem by adapting the macro in the template. From

(httpd|apache2)

to

(httpd|^apache2$)

I then removed the faulty items from the host, ran the discovery again and the faulty items did not reappear... maybe this will help someone.

I think this should be implemented in the template - I see no harm here... Can someone from the team perhaps adjust this in the repository?
