1: I try use the Zabbix agent as below to get data but faild.
net.tcp.service[ldap <,ip> <,port>]
net.tcp.service.perf[ldap <,ip> <,port>]

2: I try use below command.
2.1: zabbix_get -s IP -k "net.tcp.service[ftp]" , return value is 1.
2.2: zabbix_get -s IP -k "net.tcp.service[http]" , return value is 1.
2.3: zabbix_get -s IP -k "net.tcp.service[ldap]" , return value is: ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED.

Maybe create a custom check and call the unix tool ldapsearch to test if ldap is up or down.

Thanks for your kinds reply!
your mean is create a item simple check (example: net.tcp.service[ldap]) to check the ldap service status. I've try, but faild.

also, i have find few information on Zabbix website as below:
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...l/config/items

19.4. Zabbix Agent
1.1 Key: net.tcp.service[service,<ip>,<port>]
1.2 Description: Check if service is running and accepting TCP connections.
1.3 Return value: 0 - service is down 1 - service is running
2 - timeout connecting to the service
1.4 Parameters: service - one of ssh, ntp, ldap, smtp, ftp, http, pop, nntp, imap, tcp ip - IP address (default is 127.0.0.1) port - port number (by default standard service port number is used)
1.5 Comments: Example: net.tcp.service[ftp,,45] can be used to test availability of FTP server on TCP port 45. Old naming: check_service[*]
Note that before Zabbix version 1.8.3 service.ntp should be used instead of ntp.

please help check and teach me the detail of how to monitor ldap service. many thanks.

It's ok for ldap monitor via zabbix simple check (ldap,389).
the issue is my forgot about "--with-ldap" parameter when you were configuring your Zabbix server.
correct sample as below.
./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --prefix=<path> --with-pgsql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl --with-ldap

Thanks for Zabbix Jelena strong support.

So, I do have my zabbix cofigured with_LDAP and I am currently doing a simple monitor on an LDAP server.

But I am getting really flaky results. It seems like it being reported as being down quite often (maybe a couple dozen times a day).

However, I have a simple PHP script which is also trying to connect, and it succeeds always.

Any idea what's going on? Are there logs someplace which might give e some clues?
