3 Zabbix Processes
1 Logging
For logging configuration of Zabbix daemons "LogFile" configuration parameter is used. If this parameter is left empty (LogFile=), syslog logging facilities are used. All Zabbix daemons on Unix-like platforms log their messages from "Daemon" environment. The mapping between Zabbix logging levels and syslog levels is as follows:
| Zabbix log level | syslog log level | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 0 - empty (LOG_LEVEL_EMPTY) |
syslog is not used. | All messages are skipped. |
| 1 - critical information (LOG_LEVEL_CRIT) |
critical conditions (LOG_CRIT) |
|
| 2 - error information (LOG_LEVEL_ERR) |
error conditions (LOG_ERR) |
|
| 3 - warnings (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING) |
warning conditions (LOG_WARNING) |
|
| 4 - for debugging (LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG) |
debug-level messages (LOG_DEBUG) |
|
For syslog configuration consult the corresponding literature.
Zabbix agent under Windows uses Event Log if "LogFile" configuration parameter is provided empty. Mapping between Zabbix log levels (messages of corresponding type) and Windows Event Log entries type is provided below:
| Zabbix log level | Windows Event Log entry type | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 0 - empty (LOG_LEVEL_EMPTY) |
Event Log is not used. | All messages are skipped. |
| 1 - critical information (LOG_LEVEL_CRIT) 2 - error information (LOG_LEVEL_ERR) |
EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE | Error |
| 3 - warnings (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING) |
EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE | Warning |
| 4 - for debugging (LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG) |
EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE | Information |
