zabbix_get returns no data.

[Ineptsmeagol]

Hi,

I have created a script that counts the number of a process and I have added it to the zabbix_agentd.conf file. I can sucessfully use zabbix_get from the agent machine with localhost as the -s parameter

c:\zabbix\bin\win64\zabbix_get.exe -s localhost -k stimviewer.count
11

but when i try and use the IP address of the zabbix server i get no data back

c:\zabbix\bin\win64\zabbix_get.exe -s 10.15.x.x -k stimviewer.coun

In my zabbix_agentd.conf I do have the zabbix server defined for the Server= parameters.


any tips?

Waht about the connection between server and agent?
Did you discover or add the machine to a group? Is it monitored yet?

I am connected to the zabbix server via the agent with no issue. It's something with using the userparams

Hi,

shouldn it be stimviewer.count ?

c:\zabbix\bin\win64\zabbix_get.exe -s 10.15.x.x -k stimviewer.coun

Yes that is a typo in the post. I think it could be something in the conf file. because when I am on the server where the agent is installed and I run it with the IP of the Zabbix server:

c:\zabbix\bin\win64\zabbix_get.exe -s <Zabbix Server> -k stimviewer.count
returns nothing

but when I run it with the IP of the agent server it returns a value:

c:\zabbix\bin\win64\zabbix_get.exe -s <Agent server> -k stimviewer.count
11

Ok,

just for clarification. lets call the zabbix server "Server" and the server with the zabbix agent "Agent".

You should be able to do on "Server":

c:\zabbix\bin\win64\zabbix_get.exe -s "Agent" -k stimviewer.count

And on "Agent" (depending on installation):

c:\zabbix\bin\win64\zabbix_get.exe -s "Agent" -k stimviewer.count

I do not have zabbix_get on my server I have been running zabbix_get only on the Agent machine

[Ineptsmeagol]

Another piece of info is that the zabbix server is ubuntu

[Stefan_D]

I do not have zabbix_get on my server I have been running zabbix_get only on the Agent machine

Please install it on the server. The server polls this stuff (items).

Using zabbix_get on the agent machine with the server ip doe not make sense.

Thank You!!! once i installed the zabbix_get I saw the message from the server and found another typo in the agent config file and now it is working.

thanks again
