sanity check for if your keys wont work
Just in case this helps anyone else, although hopefully noone else will be as daft as me
<guy_e> hi guys, I've a problem which I can't find a fix for on the forums/in the docs, mind if I ask?
<guy_e> I'm running zabbix 1.1 stable on both the server and the clients, it appears setup fine and I can monitor system.uptime vfs.fs.size[/,free] etc...
<guy_e> but keys liek agent.version, system.cpu.load[all,avg1], system.uname return as unsupported
<guy_e> *like
<guy_e> using SuSE SLES 10, keys from the unix template
<guy_e> The server and agent configuration files are pretty much default and it's a clean install of 1.1, not an upgrade
<guy_e> I seem to be the only person with this issue however, so I wondered if you guys might know what I might be doing wrong?
<mbjoerling> guy_e, very weird. Seems like the keys aint entered correct
<guy_e> I'll have a look in the database but on the web front end the key seems correct
<adam_vollrath> web front end could be wrong...
<adam_vollrath> that is an odd problem though. try the zabbix_agentd command on the monitored machine to test a parameter (I forgot the syntax)
<adam_vollrath> # zabbix_agentd -t agent.version
<adam_vollrath> also, `zabbix_agentd -p` will list supported metrics. handy.
<guy_e> /usr/local/bin/zabbix_agentd -t agent.version
<guy_e> agent.version [s|1.1]
<guy_e> cool, that works
<adam_vollrath> hrm, look in /tmp/zabbix_agentd.log on that machine, and /tmp/zabbix_server.log on your server. Look for the reason it returned Not Supported.
<mbjoerling> It takes aggges to install vista
<guy_e> [snip] Type of received value [2.62] is not sutable for [system.cpu.load[all,avg1]@hostname-snip] having type [3]
<guy_e> [snip] Returning NOTSUPPORTED
<guy_e> I've more examples of that but I guess one is enough
<adam_vollrath> ah. In the PHP frontend, when you create that item, did you select integer or float or string or something else?
<guy_e> the pull down lists "Numeric (integer 64bit)" as default.... should I have picked float?
(note: start to kick self at this point)
<adam_vollrath> Yes.
<adam_vollrath> Anything with a decimal point needs to be float.
<guy_e> doh
) it's all working.
<guy_e> thanks guys
<adam_vollrath> No prob.
<adam_vollrath> agent.version should be a string, BTW
<guy_e> yeah, going through and correcting them all now.
