    ZABBIX server is running, Value = NO

    I've just setup a new zabbix server. I've copied most of my configs for zabbix, mysql, and php from the test server I had setup in my lab where it was running fine, but on weak hardware.

    When looking at the Dashboard on the new server, it says that Zabbix server isn't running under the "Status of ZABBIX" section. I've restarted zabbix_server a couple of times and a ps -aux | grep zabbix_server shows the following.

    Code:

    Can anyone tell me exactly what this is checking? It seems that Zabbix is indeed running as it appears to be collecting data on the server and I can view history etc... I just want everything working correctly so I can have complete faith in the monitoring. Having the software be aware that it's own process is running is a pretty strong factor in that faith.

      I'd have to dig into the code but my guess is that it's searching for the exact string and nothing else.

      I've done a little digging and I think that check is done via the web interface so the check may have more to do with the permissions of apache than anything else. I'll try and dig around a little more.

          I got it working. Not sure why, but had to comment out the line

          Code:
          #ListenIP=192.168.1.250
          so it would listen on all interfaces. I think it was a problem with some references to localhost, and some references to eth0 interface IP. I got pointed down this path when I realized I couldn't telnet from an external box to port 10051 on the server.

          Thanks for your help.

              ZABBIX server is running, Value = NO >> Resolution

              In my case issue was same i.e. ZABBIX server is running, Value = NO.

              I had set mysql db password while installing mysql db, but the same was not updated @ /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

              vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
              DBHost=localhost
              DBName=zabbix
              DBUser=zabbix
              DBPassword='mysql db password'

              service zabbix-server restart
              service httpd restart

              Issue got resolved
