Zabbix runs but it doesn't seem to do anything...

[mohamed_al_gad]

Hello everybody,

I'm quite new to Zabbix, I'm testing it, the goal is to replace our Nagios, but it seems that there is a problem...

Problem :
In Reports->Status of ZABBIX:
- all my hosts are "monitored" except templates
- all my items are "monitored" none are trapped
- all my triggers are "enabled" and "unknown"

In Monitoring->Latest data :
for each row, i got : Last check, Last value, Change are "empty" (" - ")

In Monitoring->Queue : all my items are in the "More than 5 minutes" column

In Monitoring->Triggers : all triggers's status are "unknown" and last value is 01 Jan 01:00:00

In Monitoring->Graphs : all graphs are displayed, but no data is showed on the down-left location.

I don't understand, it is like if zabbix wasn't doing anything, just like waiting for me to say "GO GO GO Check them out".

I use different items, such as icmpping, windows agents based, snmp, but none of them give me any value. For Windows Agents's host, I used the Windows_t template.

I tried to restart services(zabbix, agents, apache), reboot(server & client).

Another probable cause : When I start to zabbix service, I got the following messge :
dev:/usr/local/zabbix/bin # /etc/init.d/zabbix_server start
Starting zabbix_server done
dev:/usr/local/zabbix/bin # /usr/local/zabbix/bin/zabbix_server: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so.5: undefined symbol: RAND_bytes
/usr/local/zabbix/bin/zabbix_server: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so.5: undefined symbol: RAND_bytes


I've made a lot of searches, but I didn't find someone that have the same issue, maybe someone could help me a bit, please ?

Thanks in advance

[EDIT] zabbix version 1.1.4

Greetings,

First thing I would recommend is rebuilding the Zabbix server. Right off the bat, it sounds like you are missing a couple critical libraries, ie net-snmp.

Okay, James Wells, thanks for the answer.

I'll try to recompile, but I didn't noticed problems during my last compile, isn't that strange that the problem is encountered only at server's startup ?
