Remote commands problems

[mistur]

hi,

running zabbix server 1.6.2 on an ubuntu hardy x86_64 as openvz virtual server and zabbix agent 1.6.2 are running on ubuntu dapper x86_64 (physical server or virtual server)

EnableRemoteCommands=1 has been set in zabbix_agentd.conf and zabbix_agentd has been restarted.

On the server, I created an action when my ntp daemon is stopped, an email is sent and a remote commande is perform :

{HOSTNAME}: echo KO > /tmp/KO.txt

I get the email but KO.txt is not created.

I tried by change {HOSTNAME} by the zabbix name of the server, but nothing change.

maybe I forgot something but I don't find anything in the doc or on the forum that can help me.

is some can help me ?

thanks

Yoann

You might want to consider filing a bug.

[bashman]

My remote command is not executed:

{HOSTNAME}: /etc/zabbix/externalscripts/example.sh {ITEM.LASTVALUE} {TRIGGER.NAME}.txt

Here are my action conditions:

Trigger = "<hostname>:example_trigger"
Trigger value = "PROBLEM"

I can see triggered item on Dashboard, but the action is not executed.

The script has the right permissions and owner.

Has anybody this problem?

Is there anything in the client log? You might need to increase logging to see it.

Hi nelsonab,

Thanks for your reply.

There is nothing on the agent log.

I must say that the agent is on the Zabbix Server host and the script (remote command) is on the externalscripts path.

The weirdest thing is that it worked twice from about tweenty attempts.

The trigger has information severity.

[bashman]

Today only one remote command was executed on the host XXX, but it should had executed 4 remote commands on the same host XXX.

This is my scenario:

I have 4 calculated items working fine with 0 seconds update interval and:
For item (a) 60 sec at 7,23:45-23:46
For item (b) 60 sec at 7,23:46-23:47
For item (c) 60 sec at 7,23:47-23:48
For item (d) 60 sec at 7,23:48-23:49

I have 4 triggers with information severity related to the items with function .last(0) working fine.

I have an action that executes a remote command with conditions:
(A) and (B or C or D or E) and (F) and (G)
(A) Host = "XXX"
(B) Trigger = "XXX:trigger (a)"
(C) Trigger = "XXX:trigger (b)"
(D) Trigger = "XXX:trigger (c)"
(E) Trigger = "XXX:trigger (d)"
(F) Trigger severity = "Information"
(G) Trigger value = "PROBLEM"

And this is the remote command executed on host XXX {HOSTNAME}: /etc/zabbix/externalscripts/cuadroMando.sh {ITEM.LASTVALUE} {TRIGGER.NAME}.txt

Right permisons and owner applied.

Any ideas?, is this a bug?.
