 Description   

Hi,

I got a strange behaviour when getting the value of vfs.fs.size on a linux client.

The following command on the client works fine:
[root@git ~]# zabbix_agent -t vfs.fs.size['/home/rad/repositories/apps.builder.git/']
vfs.fs.size[/home/rad/repositories/apps.builder.git/] [u|53264384]

The similar command on the server side returns ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED:
[root@zabbix ~]# zabbix_get -s git.it.fx.lan -k vfs.fs.size['/home/rad/repositories/apps.builder.git/']
ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED

Other keys work fine:

Client:
[root@git ~]# zabbix_agent -t vfs.file.size['/etc/passwd']
vfs.file.size[/etc/passwd] [u|1539]

Server
[root@zabbix ~]# zabbix_get -s git.it.fx.lan -k vfs.file.size['/etc/passwd']
1539

Any idea why this is happening? I've checked similar bugs (e.g. ZBX-4086) but I found nothing helpful.

Thank you

you are checking a root, not as the zabbix user. most likely zabbix user does not have all the required permissions

Yes, that was the problem... Thanks for your help and sorry for this stupid question

Giuseppe
