    Many unsupported metrics on FreeBSD/OS X?

    I installed the Zabbix agentd on FreeBSD 6.2 via ports, and on OS X 10.4 via MacPorts. Both of them seem to have a large number of unsupported metrics that work fine on Windows and Linux boxes. I'm wondering if these are actually unsupported by the agents on these systems, or if something's gone wrong in the compilation or configuration. The list of unsupported checks from zabbix_agentd -p on both systems:

    (Edit to add: I now see these two lists are identical, so I'm removing the second list.)

    Code:
    system.run[echo test]                         [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    vfs.dev.read[hda,ops,avg1]                    [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    vfs.dev.write[hda,ops,avg1]                   [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    net.tcp.listen[80]                            [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    net.if.in[lo,bytes]                           [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    net.if.out[lo,bytes]                          [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    net.if.total[lo,bytes]                        [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    net.if.collisions[lo]                         [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    proc.num[inetd,,]                             [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    proc.mem[inetd,,]                             [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    system.cpu.switches                           [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    system.cpu.intr                               [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    system.swap.size[all,free]                    [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    system.swap.in[all]                           [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    system.swap.out[all,count]                    [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]
    Edited again to add: there is a substantially larger number of checks on the zabbix server itself that are also listed as being unsupported by the agent, but do not appear in the zabbix_agentd -p output. Examples include proc.num[], vs.dev.read[], and many others. I can provide a full list if it'll help, but perhaps the information here is enough to get an idea of what's going wrong.

    There are lots of tests that work for some platform and not others. I see the same issues with linux 2.6 kernels and with Windows boxes. My vote is to get the feature list working accross all platforms (or as many as possible) as a major push for either 1.6 or 1.8.

      I am using the following on a FreeBSD 6.2 server:
      Code:
      Unix_t:Email (SMTP) server is running	net.tcp.service[smtp]
      Unix_t:FTP server is running	net.tcp.service[ftp]
      Unix_t:Ping to the server (TCP)	agent.ping
      Unix_t:Processor load	system.cpu.load[,avg1]
      Unix_t:Used disk space on /usr	vfs.fs.size[/usr,used]
      Unix_t:Used disk space on /var	vfs.fs.size[/var,used]
      Unix_t:WEB (HTTP) server is running	net.tcp.service[http]
