Now just need to write a guide to unlock it's power, like getting IOPS and other stuff from VM's and ESXi hosts

For the individual VMs, you can push the agent to them. I know it can do some stuff in VMware, but I've not had a VMware host to set that up on.

I wrote a post about this on my blog recently. planning the second part on the monitoring part but got deviated to a new project that i am working on.

I need to finish the guide and figure out the SELinux issues.

Romo

@JaredBusch It's true, totally forgot we used setenforce 0 in the guide, so I am not actually finished just yet then =P

Romo

Using setsebool -P httpd_can_connect_zabbix=1 everything appears to be working.

So I've got this installed, I've got the agent installed on my windows box, but just cant get any data to send.

I can telnet from Zabbix to windows box on 10050 but not the other way around.

Would that be my issue or no?

Thanks

Romo

@Sparkum Agents listen on port 10050 and apparently the server listens on port 10051;

so runnning the following on the server:
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=10051/tcp
systemctl restart firewalld

Should get the agents connecting properly to the server, I haven't tested it because I have not set any agents to monitor yet in the lab, but from reading the documentation is should work.

@Romo
Hmm still no, silly Z doesnt wanna turn green.

I assume if I added a linux box I would be up in second.

Romo

@Sparkum Can you post your dashboard please =). Did you activate the host, Configuration>hosts>yourhost>enable?

Sparkum

@Romo

Sorry just a screenshot of my dashboard?

Yep, host is enabled.

I'm getting stats from the Zabbix agent, just now windows agent.

Romo

@Sparkum So its working now, right?

I'm going to try this tonight.

@Romo

Zabbix is working, zabbix agent on the server is working, just cant get any communication from windows agent, so not sure if you have any experience with the windows agent or not.

Have you checked the windows firewall? There's Zabbix is usually blocked by it.

Also, check the zabbix_agentd.conf file on your Windows box and make sure the Server and ServerActive IP addresses are set to your Zabbix Server's ip?
