Re: Anyone running Zabbix server/agent with success?
Hello again.
Problem solved!
Sorry to not depict better the situation at first mail, but here are the
solution: just follow closely the indications under
/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/{postgres*,zabbix*}
And that is it. In my case, a very important information was about running
PostgreSQL as a backend data base system, which needs to play a little with
IPC via shared memory. Specifically, here are my changes...
...regarding sysctl.conf:
kern.shminfo.shmall=524288
kern.seminfo.semmni=240
kern.seminfo.semmns=4096
(Caution: this machine have lots of RAM to play with!)
...regarding login.conf:
#
# From zabbix-server package indications
#
zabbix_server:\
:openfiles-cur=1024:\
:openfiles-max=2048:\
:tc=daemon:
#
# From PostgreSQL package indications
#
postgresql:\
:openfiles=2048:\
:tc=daemon:
Patrick, thank you for point out that log files needs, I just let it log to
/tmp and the problem became more clear.
Best regards,
Raimundo Santos

The dependency for /usr/ports/databases/db/v4 doesn't work automaticly so I have build dv/v4manually and then build the zabbix_agent (on sparc64). The agent runs fine. Next I try to build the server. On amd64 it should also work. If you just need to monitor your OpenBSD machine you can also use snmp. Thank you Patrick, but I need to monitor an entire network.

The zabbix_server dies if it could not write to the logfile (same problem on Linux some time ago). Check the userpermission for the logfile, the user that runs zabbix_server should have write access to this file. In the time of this writing, Zabbix packages are 2.2.1 for OpenBSD 5.5.

Anyone running Zabbix server/agent with success?
Hello, I have installed Zabbix agent, server and web interface via pkg_add, and the only one that is working is web interface (nginx + php-fpm +postgres), reading data from backup. Anyone here is running zabbix server with success on OpenBSD 5.5? I am on a clean install. More details as needed. I try to /etc/rc.d/zabbix_agentd start /etc/rc.d/zabbix_server start and nothing happens, besides printing the famous (ok) for both tries. Manually trying does not work either, failing silently. I am in position to change zabbix for any other network monitoring tool that works well with OpenBSD. Best regards, Raimundo Santos
