Agent on Debian 2.6.26-25lenny1 dont working

[osrevrep]

Hello, sorry for my bad english....

I downloaded the pre-compiled agent from http://www.zabbix.com/downloads/2.4...._4.i386.tar.gz and extracted for my personal machine, copied all in /bin and /sbin folders for the server of I want to monitoring, copied all /conf files to /usr/local/etc folder in server. I make one file /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent that contains:

#! /bin/sh
counter=0
zabbix_counter=$(ps -ef | grep zabbix_agentd | grep -v grep | wc -l)

start(){
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------"
echo " LAUNCHING ZABBIX AGENT"

if [ $zabbix_counter -gt 0 ]; then
echo " * Zabbix agent was previously running"
echo " * Number of Zabbix agentd instances= $zabbix_counter"
echo "-----------------------------------------------------------------"
fi

# Checking if the user is able to start the agent.... if the user is not able to, script performs su to
# the user zabbix and starts the agent

if [ $(whoami) != "zabbix" ];then
sudo -u zabbix zabbix_agentd
else
# Script is acting as the zabbix user, so it can start the agent.
zabbix_agentd
fi
sleep 10

zabbix_counter=$(ps -ef | grep zabbix_agentd | grep -v grep | wc -l)
if [ $zabbix_counter -gt 0 ]; then
echo " * Zabbix agent succesfully started"
echo " * Number of zabbix agentd instances= $zabbix_counter"
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------"
else
echo " * Zabbix agent couldn't be started, check Zabbix logs"
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------"
fi

}

stop(){
# Checking if the user is able to stop the agent.... if the user is not able to, script performs su to
# the user zabbix and kills the agent. Also script tries to kill zabbix-agent processes 5 times using a counter, if at
# the fith try the agent is still there, script outputs a message to the console.

echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------"
echo " STOPPING ZABBIX AGENT"

if [ $zabbix_counter -eq 0 ]; then
echo " * Zabbix agent was not running on this machine"
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------"
fi

while [ $zabbix_counter -gt 0 ] && [ $counter -lt 5 ] ; do

let counter=counter+1

echo " * Number of Attempts (Max 5)=$counter"
echo " * Stopping zabbix.."
echo " * Number of zabbix agentd instances= $zabbix_counter"

if [ $(whoami) != "zabbix" ];then
sudo -u zabbix killall zabbix_agentd > /dev/null &
else
killall zabbix_agentd > /dev/null &
fi

sleep 10
# Script has a 10 second delay to avoid attempting to kill a process that is still shutting down. If the script
# can't kill the processes, an error will appear.
# After 10 seconds script checks again the number of zabbix_agentd processes running,
# if it's 0, script will exit the loop and continue on

zabbix_counter=$(ps -ef | grep zabbix_agentd | grep -v grep | wc -l)

done

if [ $zabbix_counter -gt 0 ]; then
echo " * Zabbix agent couldn't be stopped, check Zabbix logs"
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------"
fi

if [ $zabbix_counter -eq 0 ]; then
echo " * Zabbix agent successfully stopped"
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------"
fi

}

restart(){
stop
# Gives system some time to stop processes before script restarts service
sleep 10
# Now script can start the agent again
start
}

case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
restart
;;
*)
echo "Usage: zabbix {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac

exit 0

After start the file zabbix agent dont communicate with the server.

ps -ef | grep zabbix_agentd shows:

zabbix 23918 1 0 15:10 ? 00:00:00 zabbix_agentd

Help? Please!

Hi,

Start with checking the zabbix_agentd.conf file. Do you have correct values set in Hostname, Server and ServerActive parameters?

Check firewall if it is not blocking the communication.

Best Regards,
