I am trying to define a new item to monitor the status of the DNS service running on our DNS servers.
I am creating a new item in the template Unix_t as follows:
Description: DNS service is running
Type: Zabbix agent
Key: net.tcp.service[domain]
Type of information: Numeric (float)
And default values for the rest.
Basically, this item looks exactly like some already existing (and working!) in the Unit_t template, such as "Email (SMTP) server is running" (the only difference being 'domain' instead of 'smtp').
My /etc/services of course contains the 'domain' service.
This new item in Unix_t shows as being in 'active' state, so things look ok.
When I look at a host using the Unix_t profile, I can see that the item has been added, however it shows "Not supported" status. I can change the status but eventually it comes back to "Not supported" state.
No data is ever received (in monitoring).
Anyone care to help me out? I find it strange that the SMTP item works well and the DNS one does not (since the only difference between the two is the service name).
Thanks!
