Issues installing zabbix agent

[fredfish]

I’m having some issues installing zabbix agent on all versions past 7.13.4. It seemingly installs just fine, but /usr/sbin/zabbix-agentd is missing. A bit tricky since these devices are deployed to vessels already sailing, where I can’t revert to previous firmware as I’ll be unable to reconnect if it’s reset. Install procedure:

opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf update
opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf install zabbix-agentd

Anyone else having this issue?

Hello,

As per this Wiki page: Monitoring via Zabbix - Teltonika Networks Wiki

The commands you should be entering are:
opkg update
opkg install zabbix-agentd

That just gives me unknown package.

Hello, Fred,

After further research, it looks like we have disabled the default OpenWRT opkg feeds in RutOS because many OpenWRT packages are incompatible with our system. While some of them may work, this is not always the case. To avoid potential issues for users, we have hidden these feeds and excluded them from standard opkg update and opkg install operations.

The Zabbix agent is an OpenWRT package that is not officially supported by us, and therefore it is not included in our feeds. However, you can still try installing it from the OpenWRT feeds at your own risk. Here are the commands for installing. I’ve tested them and they’ve worked:
opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf update
opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf list | grep zabbix
opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf install zabbix-agentd

These have been tested on a RUTX11, firmware version 7.15.2:

Hi,

I’ll give it a try and switch to snmp if it still doesn’t work. Not ideal due to fewer metrics to pull, but it is what it is. Thanks!
