    vfs.fs.size[] not working consistantly

    Hi,

    I have a couple of boxes running CentOS 5.2. They have lots of mount points that are the same. I need to monitor all the partitions.

    I have a template that I link to each box.

    It looks like the following:

    Code:
    Free disk space on /data/3311 in % 	vfs.fs.size[/data/3311,pfree] 	30 	90 	365 	ZABBIX agent 	Active 	Connect DB Filesystem 	-

    The partitions look like this:

    Box one looks like this:

    You can see some of the checks show up as Not supported.

    another box looks like this:

    This box, nothing is supported.

    I am running version 1.6.4 of the agent and server.

    Can anyone help me out here before I have to resort to a Userparameter check.

    Thank
    Craig

    EDIT:

    zabbix_agentd logs this:
    Code:
     24713:20090608:150441 In check_security()
 24713:20090608:150441 Requested [vfs.fs.size[/data/3311,pfree]]
 24713:20090608:150441 Sending back [ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    but testing it on the command line it works:
    Code:
    S1  [[email protected]:~]  # zabbix_agentd -t vfs.fs.size[/data/3311,pfree]
vfs.fs.size[/data/3311,pfree]                 [d|93.786600]

    Solved

    Found the problem. The mount point permissions did not allow zabbix user to have access.

      can you elaborate

      Hi,

      I am having the same problem.
      Mine is a ubuntu OS

      You can atleast get some data in CLI
      But my log file shows the same error
      Which directory should i give permissions.
      or does zabbix user needs sudo previleges.
      Thanks.

        Solution (what worked for me)

        I was having the same problem, but thanks to 'SATux' mentioning that it was permissions for him, I was able to resolve the issue:

        Permission denied for zabbix user:
        Code:
        [email protected]:~# su zabbix -s /bin/bash -c "df -h /home/ftp/private/someuser"
df: `/home/ftp/private/someuser': Permission denied
df: no file systems processed
        Fix permissions with setfacl
        Notes:
        * Access Control Lists (ACLs) are not enabled by default on most Linux distros as far as I've seen, you may prefer to add zabbix to a specific group that already has access to the directories or use another method to fix the permissions issue
        * Zabbix did not have access to two directories ('private' and 'someuser') You may have to add access to additional directories as well. One way to test is with (just issue the command and see if you get a permissions issue): su zabbix -s /bin/bash -c "cd /home/ftp"
        Code:
        [email protected]:~# setfacl -m u:zabbix:rx /home/ftp/private
[email protected]:~# setfacl -m u:zabbix:rx /home/ftp/private/someuser
        After that, I was able to issue the 'df' command as zabbix from the command line on the server and I was able to then go back and re-activate all of the items and triggers for the host.
