monitoring interface eth1:nsk

[morhekil]

I've got a couple of interfaces named like "eth1:nsk". When I put this name as the argument for netloadin item (like netloadin1[eth1:nsk]) it gives me "not supported" message in "status" column.
So am I doing anything wrong? Or how can I enable monitoring for this interface?

PS: I'm using Zabbix v1.0 as a server with agents version 1.1alpha12 on Linux.

Greetings,

The current version of the agent doesn't handle aliased NIC's correctly, I believe the newest (CVS) agents handle them correctly, but I haven't had time to really test this yet.

Are cvs versions stable enough to use them?

[James Wells]

Hehehe. That is a bit of a trick question...

The UI is safe to use, in fact I am using it right now. The agents appear to be safe, but the server appears to have some issues, namely segfaults on startup which I haven't had time to troubleshoot.

FYI I fixed the segfault issue in CVS.
