zabbix-get on ARM target

[clahti]

Hello all:

I have successfully compiled the zabbix agent for armV7 target, I had to hack the configure script to remove the "long long" check, this seemed to be the only cross-compiler problem I have. I installed the agentd and configured to talk to our zabbix server, and viola! I have the agent returning values as expected.

Now the next step, I would like to use the zabbix_get to return some system values in a script, the following works on the arm target:

/usr/bin/zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -p 10050 -V
Zabbix Get v1.8.13 (revision 27486) (11 May 2012)
Compilation time: Jun 7 2012 11:45:58


The following does not:
/usr/bin/zabbix_get -s 172.0.0.1 -p 10050 -k agent.version


Just a blank carriage return echoed to the console. If I run this command from the zabbix server however it works:

/usr/bin/zabbix_get -s <ip removed> -p 10050 -k agent.version
1.8.13


Any ideas why the arm-compiled zabbix_get does not work for returning values from zabbix_agentd? Thanks!

I solved the problem by editing the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf file

changed Server from:

Server=<zabbix-server-ip>

to

Server=127.0.0.1, <zabbix-server-ip>

Now I can call the zabbix agent locally via:

/usr/bin/zabbix_get -s 172.20.10.200 -I 127.0.0.1 -k agent.version
1.8.13

Cheers!
