The Flowmon device is delivered with a pre-installed generation 2 Zabbix Agent. This provides easy remote monitoring using a centralized monitoring system.
You can freely modify the Zabbix Agent generation 2 configuration file located at /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.conf.
You can control the agent using the systemctl command:
sudo systemctl start zabbix-agent2.service
sudo systemctl stop zabbix-agent2.service
sudo systemctl reload zabbix-agent2.service
sudo systemctl restart zabbix-agent2.service
sudo systemctl enable zabbix-agent2.service # start automatically after reboot
sudo systemctl disable zabbix-agent2.service # do not start automatically after reboot
To check the status of the agent, use:
systemctl status zabbix-agent2.service
NOTE:
Zabbix configuration files are not migrated automatically during the update process from Flowmon 12 to Flowmon 13.
You can access the old configuration files in the /data/backup/root/etc/zabbix/ directory and migrate the configuration manually into /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.conf
