Hi. First of all, Zabbix seems like a great tool!
However I encountered two issues when installing it on my Fedora Core 3 servers. First, the Disk Operations does not show correct values. I looked at the open-sourced code, and see that the zabbix_agentd program gets its values from /proc/stat. However, this file does not contain any "disk_io:" lines. There is a file /proc/diskstats, but it has values from the hardward devices and not the mount points with path names.
The next issue I perceive is that the ethernet operations appear static and don't go up and down. The file /proc/net/dev does have bytes in+out values, so maybe the format was changed a bit and Zabbix is reading an incorrect field.
Has anyone else had success with Zabbix and Fedora? I took a look at the zabbix alpha and see that it has similar code so I don't think moving to the alpha will help me. I'd be happy to supply more configuration info if it is needed to help diagnose the problem.
Thanks,
Matthew Clark
