zabbix_sender

[nightwish]

Hi Gurus


I need some direction.

Any idea will be great.

I am trying to use zabbix_sender whith the folloe«wing sintax:

zabbix_sender -z "zabbix_server" -p 10051 -s linux01 -k proc.num[httpd] -o 1 -vv

zabbix_sender [4769]: DEBUG: Answer [{
"response":"success",
"info":"Processed 0 Failed 1 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000037"}]
Info from server: "Processed 0 Failed 1 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000037"
sent: 1; skipped: 0; total: 1


The result for every try is " FAILED "

How can i get it to work ?? .. Any test/debug I can use

Regards.

Why do you have "zabbix_server" in double quotes? Take them away and try again. If that doesn't work, try the zabbix server's IP address.

And, this item 'proc.num[httpd]' does exist, doesn't it?

And if it does exist it has to be type trapper in order for you to use zabbix_sender. If you are trying to use the stock item then you either have to change the type or just let the agent handle getting the value.

Hi MrKen and danrog


What do you meen by type trapper ?.


I change the configuration of the item to be zabbix_trapper. but the problem persists:

[root@zabbix rc3.d]# zabbix_sender -s 192.168.1.12 -z 192.168.1.15 -k proc.num[httpd] -o 0
Info from server: "Processed 0 Failed 1 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000085"
sent: 1; skipped: 0; total: 1
[root@zabbix rc3.d]# zabbix_sender -s 192.168.1.12 -z 192.168.1.15 -k proc.num[httpd] -o 0 -vv
zabbix_sender [3417]: DEBUG: Answer [{
"response":"success",
"info":"Processed 0 Failed 1 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000035"}]
Info from server: "Processed 0 Failed 1 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000035"

Yes proc.num[httpd] exist is the default apache item that cames by default.

I attache a image of the configuration of my item.

Any idea to go from here?

At you screen i see just template "Template_Linux". I'm not sure that you linked this template to host "linux01" (i suppose this is hostname, configured in zabbix)

 -s --host <hostname>     Specify host name. Host IP address and DNS name will not work

and... why you use IP?

Hi Zalex_ua


I solved the question


Many tahnks to MrKen that point to hte right direction.

Resuming:

- The item as to be the type of zabbix_trapper
- And the zabbix_sender -s option only support the name that is used by zabbix

root@linux01:/etc/zabbix/external# ./zabbix_sender -s linux01 -z 192.168.1.15 -k proc.num[httpd] -o 1 -vv
zabbix_sender [7004]: DEBUG: Answer [{
"response":"success",
"info":"Processed 1 Failed 0 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000049"}]
Info from server: "Processed 1 Failed 0 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000049"
sent: 1; skipped: 0; total: 1


Many thanks to all
