zabbix_agentd not working when zabbix_agent is

[fredc]

Hi all,

I'm going crazy trying to have zabbix_agentd work on RH 5.3.

When I execute /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd -t mysql.threads
the answer is
mysql.threads [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]

BUT when I execute it with /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agent -t mysql.threads
the answer is
mysql.threads [t|6]

I read the documentation and as far as I understand, I have to use the zabbix_agentd.

I went through many posts on this forum without success. My version of the agent is ZABBIX Agent (daemon) v1.6.4 (3 April 2009).

Many thanks in advance.

Fred

Does zabbix_agentd.conf also contain the right "UserParameters" ?

Hi Calimero,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried

UserParameter=mysql.threads,/usr/bin/mysqladmin -uzabbix -pzabbix status|cut -f3 -d":"|cut -f1 -d"Q"|tr -d " "

UserParameter=mysql.threads,/usr/bin/mysqladmin -uzabbix -pzabbix status|cut -f3 -d":"|cut -f1 -d"Q"

UserParameter=mysql.threads,mysqladmin -uzabbix -pzabbix status|cut -f3 -d":"|cut -f1 -d"Q"|tr -d " "

UserParameter=mysql.threads,/usr/bin/mysqladmin status|cut -f3 -d":"|cut -f1 -d"Q"

all of this without success while in the zabbix_agent.conf, the same works.

User privileges are the same zabbix:root.
