CptZsolt's questions

I've been trying to use SMART tools for a time over zabbix, but I just cannot figure it out, why it's not working.

Server: debian 10 4.19.0-17-amd64, zabbix: 6.0.0 Revision 5203d2ea7d
Client: debian 11 5.10.0-0.bpo.12-amd64, zabbix: 6.0.0 Revision 5203d2ea7d

I installed agent2 and smartmontools on the client, altered the user settings. In the Zabbix web application on this particular client host I added the SMART by Zabbix agent 2 template (also updated the template file), and thus I can see its inheritant macros in the settings.

However whatever I do, the only value I get from this host is this:

It doesn't matter where I look for the values, this empty variable is all I get.

I tried to look it up online, but everyone else seems to get the needed values right away after adding the template. I simply cannot find any else settings in the Zabbix control panel... Does anyone have any idea what am I missing?

Here's the problem I face: I have a program that must run as root. I want that to run in a screen, but here's a twist: for admin reasons, I want to be able to re-attach to it.

I'm writing a dirty and fast restarter daemon, because the program keeps on failing in very misterious ways, that is running as sudo (because I need root priv. to start the app). However I don't want to simply run screen as sudo, because then screen -ls won't show it, only sudo screen -ls. If I run sudo -u USER screen -dmS SCREEN_NAME sudo APP, it seems to work fine, it's listed with normal screen -ls, however there's a problem. If I want to check on the program, and try to reattach to the screen, after trying (and typing the password), the screen is terminated.

I don't have a problem with the password, the problem is that the reattached screen is terminating. Has anyone any suggestions, how I could start the screen from bash with these conditions?
