If I try to use the new funktionality from zabbix beta3 with multiple
parameters like:
UserParameter=wc ,wc -$2 $1|cut -f1 -d" "

I got allways:
Parameter [usr.wc[/etc/hosts,w]] is not supported by agent on host HOSTNAME Old status [0]

If I use only one parametr I have the same problem.
Some help?

Have you tried providing the full path to 'wc'? /usr/local/bin/wc?

What about using specific values? Such as:
UserParameter=wc[/tmp/test.dat],/usr/local/bin/wc -l /tmp/test.dat | /usr/local/bin/cut -f1 -d" "
Does that work?

No it is not working.
If you look at the old mysql userparameters, everything with
parantes [] are not working!

Format for user parms previous to 1.1b4
UserParameter=mysql[ping],mysqladmin -uroot ping|grep alive|wc -l

Format for user parms in 1.1b4
UserParameter=mysql.ping,mysqladmin -uroot ping|grep alive|wc -l

Update your configuration files with the new format and test again.

This is the point why there have changed the format from:
UserParameter=mysql[ping],mysqladmin -uroot ping|grep alive|wc -l
to:
UserParameter=mysql.ping,mysqladmin -uroot ping|grep alive|wc -l

No more [] thats why it is working again!

still cant get custom UserParameters to work..

as it worked with beta2:
UserParameter=custom_param ,/home/zabbix/bin/script $1
defined as item: custom_param[path_to_filename]

how it should look like in beta4?
like that? :
UserParameter=custom_param.*,/home/zabbix/bin/script $1
defined as item: custom_param.path_to_filename

:)

as it worked with beta2:
UserParameter=custom_param ,/home/zabbix/bin/script $1
defined as item: custom_param[path_to_filename]

should look like this in beta4:
UserParameter=custom_param[],/home/zabbix/bin/script $1
defined as item: custom_param[path_to_filename]

P.S. the explanation in the doc and readme from beta3 ar not right! :o
