support of 'vfs.fs.discovery' for *BSD systems already added in the ZBXNEXT-580

workaround for the moment is to add this to you agent config

UserParameter=net.if.discovery,ifconfig | awk ' BEGIN { print "

/^[a-z0-9]+\:/ { gsub(/\:/,"",$ 1); if ( $ 1 != "lo0" ) print "{ \"

\":\"lo0\"} \n]}" } '

I have to say that it really works, that's cool !

Chris, do you plan to add the core support for net.if.discovery?

Same im using:

UserParameter=net.if.discovery,printf "{\n \"data\":[\n\n" && ifconfig | grep "^[a-z]" | sed -e 's/[0-9]:.*//' | while read a ; do printf ",\n { \"

\",\"$a\" }" ; done | grep "#IFNAME" && printf "\n ]\n}\n"

Hoping for native support in the future.

Here is a patch against 2.0.4 adding the net.if.discover function.

See "add_FreeBSD_discover_netif.patch" in the attachments block above.

Thanks, the patch helped me.

Available in the development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBXNEXT-579

(1) default fbsd template should be updated to use network interface discovery like linux & windows templates do (and existing net.if items should be removed)

aleksej RESOLVED in r34854

sasha CLOSED

(2) when it's finished, the following doc pages should be updated (anywhere else ?) :
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/appendix/items/supported_by_platform
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/config/items/itemtypes/zabbix_agent - should mention that net.if.discovery supported on fbsd since 2.2
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/introduction/whatsnew220#item_improvements and should mention updated fbsd template in a separate section

<Sasha> CLOSED

<richlv> when fbsd template will be updated, it should be listed in whatsnew as well -> REOPENED

(3) openbsd and netbsd also do not support net.if.discovery key. Most probably freebsd implementation works also for openbsd/netbsd. Need to check and if it's possible to add net.if.discovery support to openbsd/netbsd.

wiper successfully tested on openbsd/netbsd. CLOSED

Successfully tested on freebsd, please review minor updates in r34401, r34404

Added support for NetBSD and OpenBSD

I'm reopening the issue. (1) is not completed.

(6) added info about template improvements, please review

Hey Lasse Bo Larsen! Can you help me with this Parameter?
I tried to use this in my openBSD and it is working but not very well because in my server when the discovery try to mount the items I receive this message:

Cannot create item: item with the same key "net.if.in[

]" already exists.
Cannot create item: item with the same key "ne

What can be wrong?

Andrei, you should check whether you already have item with key "net.if.in[

]" on your host. In general, it would be better to continue this discussion on one of the places mentioned at https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Getting_help .

Thanks Aleksandrs Saveljevs, What I want was send a message to Lasse Bo Larsen about this problem but I don't now how. In my server I don't have other item with this key so i can't understand why it is happening.
Can you help me? Here can I discuss about this?

Thank you again.

Ah, I realized that it in "net.if.in[

macro defined.

Anyway, this bug tracker is not the proper place to discuss this and sending messages to users is not supported. Please use one of the ways mentioned at https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Getting_help . Users on #zabbix on Freenode or on the forum would be happy to help.
