Re: Zabbix for Snort performance monitoring

[Anshuman Anil Deshmukh <anshuman () cybage com>]

Thanks Eric for responding so quickly. Here are the details.



Zabbix Agent (daemon) v1.8.17 (revision 37338) (26 July 2013)

Compilation time: Aug  4 2013 16:44:16



If at all this issue needs an upgrade, will upgrading just the zabbix agent resolve my issue? As said initially, this 
is my test setup and hence not willing to upgrade the entire thing. I will definitely take care of installing the 
latest version when installing it for the production.



Thanks.

Anshuman right off the bat I would suggest you upgrade to the zabbix20 packages that are in the CentOS EPEL repository. 
2.0 adds a lot of features and has been quite stable for me on several production servers. The addition of dynamic 
items alone makes it worth it in my opinion.

That said, what version is your agent? There should be an agent version item that is polled from your Zabbix server if 
you look in "Latest data" under the monitoring tab on your Zabbix server web interface.

Different agent versions support different item queries
