1 2018/10/17 20:02 1/5 3 Zabbix Agent (UNIX, Standalone daemon) 3 Zabbix Agent (UNIX, Standalone daemon) Zabbix UNIX agent daemon runs on a host being monitored. The agent provides host's performance and availability information for Zabbix Server. Zabbix agent processes items of type 'Zabbix agent' or 'Zabbix agent (active)'. Zabbix agent can be started by executing: shell> cd sbin shell>./zabbix_agentd Zabbix agent runs as a daemon process. Zabbix agent accepts the following command line parameters: -c --config <file> specify configuration file, default is /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf -h --help give this help -V --version display version number -p --print print kwn items and exit -t --test <item key> test specified item and exit In order to get this help run: shell> zabbix_agentd -h Example of command line parameters: shell> zabbix_agentd -c /usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf shell> zabbix_agentd --help shell> zabbix_agentd --print shell> zabbix_agentd -t "system.cpu.load[all,avg1]" Configuration file The configuration file contains configuration parameters for zabbix_agentd. The file must exist and it should have read permissions for user 'zabbix'. Supported parameters: Sets an alias for parameter. It can be useful to substitute long and complex parameter name with a smaller and simpler one. Alias Starting from version Zabbix Agent will t start up in case incorrectly formatted Alias entry or duplicate Alias key is present in configuration file.

If disabled and the agent is started by 'root', the agent will try to switch to user 'zabbix' instead. Has effect if started under a regular user. 0 - do t allow 1 - allow Do t keep data longer than N seconds in buffer. Maximum number of values in a memory buffer. The agent will send all collected data to Zabbix Server or Proxy if the buffer is full. Specifies debug level 0 - debug 1 - critical information 2 - error information 3 - warnings 4 - for debugging (produces lots of information) Disable active checks. The agent will work in passive mode listening for server. Disable passive checks. The agent will t listen on any TCP port. Only active checks will be processed. 0 - do t disable 1 - disable Whether remote commands from Zabbix server are allowed. 0 - t allowed 1 - allowed Unique, case sensitive hostname. Required for active checks and must match hostname as configured on the server. Allowed characters: alphanumeric, '.', ' ', '_' and '-'. Maximum length: 64 Item used for setting Hostname if it is undefined. Does t support UserParameters, performance counters or aliases, but does support system.run[] regardless of EnableRemoteCommands value. Igred if Hostname is set. Include This option is supported in version and higher. You may include individual files or all files in a directory in the configuration file. See special tes about limitations.

3 2018/10/17 20:02 3/5 3 Zabbix Agent (UNIX, Standalone daemon) ListenIP ListenPort LogFileSize LogFile LogRemoteCommands 0 MaxLinesPerSecond List of comma delimited IP addresses that the agent should listen on. Multiple IP addresses are supported in version and higher. Agent will listen on this port for connections from the server. Maximum size of log file in MB. 0 - disable automatic log rotation. Name of log file. If t set, syslog is used. Enable logging of executed shell commands as warnings. 0 - disabled 1 - enabled PidFile /tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid Name of PID file. RefreshActiveChecks Server yes Maximum number of new lines the agent will send per second to Zabbix server or proxy processing 'log' and 'eventlog' active checks. The provided value will be overridden by the parameter 'maxlines', provided in 'log' or 'eventlog' item key. Note: Zabbix will process 4 times more new lines than set in MaxLinesPerSecond to seek the required string in log items. How often list of active checks is refreshed, in seconds. List of comma delimited IP addresses (or hostnames) of Zabbix servers. No spaces allowed. If ServerActive is t specified, the first entry is used for receiving list of and sending active checks. Note that hostnames must resolve hostname IP address and IP address hostname. If IPv6 support is enabled then ' ', ':: ', '::ffff: ' are treated equally.

No spaces allowed. If ServerActive is specified, first host in the Server option is t used for active checks, only for passive checks. If the port is t specified, ServerPort port is used for that host. If ServerPort is t specified, default port is used. IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in square brackets if port for that host is specified. If port is t specified, square brackets for IPv6 addresses are optional. This option is supported in version and higher. Server port for retrieving list of and sending active checks. Source IP address for outgoing connections. Number of pre-forked instances of zabbix_agentd that process passive checks. The upper limit used to be 16 before version Spend more than Timeout seconds on processing Allow all characters to be passed in arguments to user-defined parameters. Supported since Zabbix User-defined parameter to monitor. There can be several user-defined parameters. Format: UserParameter=<key>,<shell command> Note that shell command must t return empty string or EOL only. Example: UserParameter=system.test,who wc -l Starting from version Zabbix Agent will t start up in case incorrectly formatted UserParameter entry or duplicate UserParameter key is present in configuration file. Starting from version Zabbix agent daemon will t start up if invalid (t following parameter=value tation) or unkwn parameter entry is present in configuration file. Printed on 2018/10/17 20:02
