Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

Yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

Zabbix

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/zabbix.sh)"

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

By default is zabbix using fping and fping6 to and if the config file is not edited then it tries to run /usr/sbin/fping or /usr/sbin/fping6. But in Debian 12 it's located in the /usr/bin folder. It can be set in the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

Also by default is the zabbix agent not running because it tries to run the nvidea plugin and it starts after you comment out Plugins.NVIDIA.System.Path=/usr/libexec/zabbix/zabbix-agent2-plugin-nvidia-gpu in the file /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.d/plugins.d/nvidia.conf file. Found in: https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-help/496548-zabbix-agent2-7-2-1-fails-to-start-with-nvidia-gpu-plugin-on-linux

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.
