A new version of DBforBIX is available for download here:
![DBforBIX[1]](https://www.smartmarmot.com/wp-content/uploads/DBforBIX1.png)
A special thanks goes to “littlecong” for his feedback !!!
We still need feedback on this release then please feel free to share it and comment this post!
This version is a quite different version and even the configuration files are now changed unfortunately is not 100% compatible with DBforBIX 0.6.
NOTE: it is a BETA version not yet production ready and not fully tested, then please let me know in case of issues.
It’s remarkable in favor of mme to have a website, which is valuable in support of mmy knowledge.
thanks admin
If you would like to take a great deal from this paragraph then you

Hi Andrea,
I was reading items/oracle.xml and found this interesting:
SELECT DISTINCT instance_name FROM v$instance
Maybe I am missing something but this like a constant output. Was your intention to discover instances that are running. In that case it could be smarter to user v$active_instances.
v$instance only has the instance where your session is in.
gv$instance has all instances in the instance group where you happen to be in and
v$active_instances lists all instances that are running in any instance group.
regards,
Ronald – who is willing to help with making dbforbix even better.
Trying to start dbfoxbix v2 beta-3 I get
/dbforbix.sh start
11/03/2015 09:57:58 15538 jsvc error: Invalid option -procname
11/03/2015 09:57:58 15538 jsvc error: Cannot parse command line arguments
I have: Jsvc version 1.0.1
Does dbforbix require a specific version of jakarta-commons-daemon-jsvc be installed?
I finally got the beta-3 running. (I removed commons-daemon-1.0.15.jar and constructed the CLASS_PATH with
CLASS_PATH=$(echo $(ls ${BASEDIR}/lib/*.jar)|sed “s/ /:/g”)
CLASS_PATH=/usr/share/java/commons-daemon.jar:${CLASS_PATH}:$BASEDIR/dbforbix.jar
)
Intention is to monitor oracle database. The database url is discovered but I can not find any proof of a connection to the database.
/var/log/dbforbix.err gives:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.smartmarmot.dbforbix.config.Config).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4.....l#noconfig for more info.
logs/dbforbix.log gives:

In the old version of dbforbix there was a variable that should have the value of a hostname in zabbix…. Is that the same now?
What to check next?
yes it is the same
How can I get more debug logging?
I copied the log4j.config from 0.6 and the last logline now changed from
2015-03-11 12:09:10 DEBUG starting sender thread
to
2015-03-12 20:51:52,264 [ZabbixSender] DEBUG com.smartmarmot.dbforbix.zabbix.ZabbixSender – starting sender thread
2015-03-12 20:51:52 DEBUG starting sender thread
Not a single logline after this 🙁
What do I need to enter in log4j.properties to make – for example – AbstractAdapter.java using the log?
I am no Java specialist. I need a little help getting this going. There is a good chance there is some simple config error and I am sure the program logs this ….. how do I get dbforbix to make a complete log?
I appear to be having the same issue as Ronald. I appear to have everything set up and running (v2 beta3). I see my DBs and Zabbix server in the log file, but nothing happens afterwards.
Brian,
what I did was import the project in eclipse, compiled it. It ran immediatly after that. Copied the java app to the server and it was OK.
