How to resolve the issue of “zabbix_get” command not found in Linux?
If you encounter the error “zabbix_get: command not found” when running the zabbix_get command in Linux, it could be due to Zabbix Agent not being properly installed or its installation path not added to the system’s environment variables.
To address this issue, you can try the following steps:
- Make sure that the Zabbix Agent has been properly installed. You can use the following command to check the status of the Zabbix Agent:
systemctl status zabbix-agent
If the command returns results such as “zabbix-agent.service: Main process exited” or “Active: inactive (dead)”, it means that the Zabbix Agent is not correctly installed or has not been started. You will need to install or start the Zabbix Agent.
- If Zabbix Agent is installed but the zabbix_get command cannot be found, it may be because the installation path of Zabbix Agent has not been added to the system’s environment variables. To find the installation path of the zabbix_get command, you can use the following command:
find / -name zabbix_get
This command will search for the location of the zabbix_get command throughout the entire system. Once the command is found, its path will be added to the system’s environment variables. For example, if the zabbix_get command is located at “/usr/local/bin/zabbix_get”, you can execute the following command to add it to the environment variables:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
- If the above steps still cannot solve the problem, it may be because there are other issues with the installation of Zabbix Agent or the version of Zabbix Agent is not compatible. You can try reinstalling Zabbix Agent or upgrading to the latest version.
I hope the above methods can help you solve the problem. If the issue persists, please provide more detailed information so we can assist you more accurately.
