agentd not working on freebsd5.5

[woger]

Hi there,
I installed agentd from source on a FreeBSD5.5 server and it doesn't do anything. I put the debug level to 4 to check the logs,but the logs just say "15864:20070624:110434 zabbix_agentd started. ZABBIX 1.4."
I also tried installing from ports but with the same result.
Anyone an idea?

Hi,

you can check whether the agentd works by doing something like
zabbix_agentd -c configurationfile -t system.run[ls]

Does it do something ?

I have some problems with the agentd, too.
I can not get anything in the processes area except the ones
which are started by the user "zabbix".
Even if I put the user in the group "wheel".
Of course, you'll need the /proc filesystem mounted for that.

I am thinking about replacing the FreeBSD code for the agent(d)
by the one from netXMS (http://www.netXMS.org/) which is not based
on the /proc filesystem but on the lkm library.

HTH,

Norbert.

I am not sure what you mean by system.run[ls], but it just dies after startup without any error in the logs.
I now have installed 1.1.9b and this one is working, however yesterday it crashed. I've set debug to 4 now and see if it happens again.

BTW. I compiled 1.4 agent on a 6.2 machine and it seems to be working, however again, it seems to be very slow. haven't looked at it yet.

Well,
I tried the 1.4.1 version, but still the same problem. But I also understand that 1.4 and 1.4.1 are the same.
