monitor td-agent using zabbix

[sourav...@avekshaa.com]

i wanted to monitor td-agent using zabbix. I found plug-in on the internet, but i am unable to configure the td-agent.conf file.
what i did was i install the following plug-in "fluent-plugin-zabbix-agent".
I used the following command :

sudo /usr/sbin/td-agent-gem uninstall fluent-plugin-zabbix-agent.

and i get the following output  :  

WARN: Unresolved specs during Gem::Specification.reset:
      json (>= 1.4.3)
WARN: Clearing out unresolved specs.
Please report a bug if this causes problems.
Fetching: fluent-plugin-zabbix-agent-0.2.0.gem (100%)
Successfully installed fluent-plugin-zabbix-agent-0.2.0
Parsing documentation for fluent-plugin-zabbix-agent-0.2.0
Installing ri documentation for fluent-plugin-zabbix-agent-0.2.0
Done installing documentation for fluent-plugin-zabbix-agent after 0 seconds
1 gem installed

Now i changed the configuration file of td-agent :
added following tag
<source>
  type monitor_agent
  bind 0.0.0.0
  port 24220
</source>

 and then check the output with

curl http://localhost:24220/api/plugins.json
i get the output as : 
{"plugins":[{"plugin_id":"object:3fec669d6ac4","type":"forward","output_plugin":false,"config":{"type":"forward"}},{"plugin_id":"object:3fec669daf98","type":"http","output_plugin":false,"config":{"type":"http","port":"8888"}},{"plugin_id":"object:3fec669dfa48","type":"monitor_agent","output_plugin":false,"config":{"type":"monitor_agent","port":"24220"}},{"plugin_id":"object:3fec66a52e94","type":"debug_agent","output_plugin":false,"config":{"type":"debug_agent","port":"24230"}},{"plugin_id":"object:3fec66ae3dcc","type":"stdout","output_plugin":true,"config":{"type":"stdout"}},{"plugin_id":"object:3fec66aead48","type":"forward","output_plugin":true,"buffer_queue_length":0,"buffer_total_queued_size":0,"retry_count":0,"config":{"type":"forward","host":"192.168.0.11"}}]}%

now i change the bind value in the source tag with my zabbix server ip address and port number with zabbix port number. Then i run the following command

curl http://192.168.0.209:10051/api/plugins.json

output :  curl: (52) Empty reply from server

After installing plug-in what we are suppose to do. Please tell me the steps to do.

You run uninstall command but your result seems to be installed command.

Which is the correct?

Your configuration doesn't include zabbix-agent plugin configuration so

you don't use zabbix-agent, right?

What does this sentence mean?

You launch fluentd's monitor_agent server and zabbix server at the same port?

How to share the port between fluentd and zabbix?

Sorry, for the wrong post please consider uninstall as install command. Because i tried installing zabbix plug-in two three times.

-> I found this part in its site

<source>
  type monitor_agent
  bind 0.0.0.0
  port 24220
</source>

so i thought bind value is supposed to be replaced with my zabbix server ip address and port is replaced with zabbix port.

It means you want to use fluentd instead of zabbix?

I assume you want to collect fluentd's buffer information and send it to zabbix server.

Yes, I want the  fluentd buffer information and then send it to zabbix. Can you tell me what steps am I suppose to do.

I'm not sure which is the best.

I heard one user uses external check feature with simple script which gets json result from monitor_agent

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/config/items/itemtypes/external

Or you can use tag feature with in_monitor_agent and send these events to zabbix by using plugins.

This is available since v0.12.17.
