For some reason after reboot zabbix_agentd didn't start on one of my servers. Turned out to be a missing check in start script of the agent and it was trying to create PID file in nonexistent directory:
zabbix_agentd [1583]: cannot create PID file [/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid]: [2] No such file or directory
Here is a patch to fix it:
--- /root/zabbix_agentd.old 2013-06-13 10:24:48.106222648 +0100 +++ /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd 2013-06-13 10:23:54.809362651 +0100 @@ -15,6 +15,14 @@ set -e +if [ "$1" != status ]; then + # be sure there is a /var/run/zabbix, even with tmpfs + if [ ! -d /var/run/zabbix ]; then + mkdir --mode 750 --parents /var/run/zabbix + chown zabbix:zabbix /var/run/zabbix + fi +fi + case "$1" in start) echo "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
