    Cannot monitor network traffic

    Hi everybody,

    I have some troubles to get any data from the network traffic. Zabbix show the items as "Not supported". That's why, I tried to run the command line with the user "root" in order to get results. It seems to work whereas when I try with the same command line with the zabbix user, it does not work (ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED). And my zabbix agents were run with the user "zabbix"...

    I wonder if this trouble come from a user problem ?

    I have used the Debian testing packages to install zabbix.

    If you an idea, let me know. Thanks !

    BR.

      I even try to run the command by root but nothing has changed because the command appeared with zabbix user...

        [solved]

        I finally find out the answer.

        In the agent file "zabbix_agentd.conf" :
        - Uncomment "AllowRoot"
        - Set the value to 1

        It will start your agent with root and solve the problem

        More details on my case :
        zabbix server on a debian stable (Could be a bug in the package : https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-507).

        If you have a better solution, let me know please.
