Monitor own disk space

[Niven]

Hi

I'm trying to set Zabbix up to monitor its own disk space. I'm running zabbix_agentd to do this. when i run PS -A i cant see a proccess for it.

I'm unable to get any data for the disk space. Are there any problems running it at the same time as zabbix_server.
Zabbix_agentd.log is empty and a pid file is created.

I have 1.1beta8

Regards

Hi, what happens when you start the agent?

/usr/local/bin/zabbix_agentd

You wrote that the pid file is still created. Then you have to remove the file manually and restart the agentd. Do you checked the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf file. Does the directory exists which is needed from the config file? (for example /home/zabbix/tmp/)
Does the directory have had the right permission?

When i start the agent it creates /var/tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid

I pressume this is the location you're talking about.

The only two paths in the zabbix_agentd.conf are /var/tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid and /tmp/zabbix_agentd.log

Will the log file created? Whats the topic of the file? Any errors?

Log File is empty.

I appear to have fixed it by changing a few bits in zabbix_agentd.conf

I changed to a different listening port and set the hostname to 127.0.0.1

zabbix_agentd is now running and data is collected
