UserParameter, Windows

[MarkusL]

Hi All!

The last hour I was on getting UserParameter to run without using any parameter in my command-line-string.

Now, I finished and finally got it to work :-)
So I want to share my experience.

My System:
Zabbix 1.6.1 (Ubuntu Srv 8.10 64bit) with Windows-Agent 1.6.1 (Win 2003 Srv Standard)


Item-Key: myinfo[]
zabbix_agentd.conf: UserParameter=myinfo[*],type C:\windows\myfile.ini | grep MyInfo | cut -f2 -d"="

The point is to give the Item-Key the empty [] and also give the UserParameter the[*]. So no parameter is added.
Without these [] and[*], I was not successful, no matter what I tried,...


I would be interested in your experience.


Kind regards,

Markus.

grep and cut in Windows? kinda cool

Anyhoo..
I've used php to create userparameters on windows (and linux/freebsd)

It's easy and quick to write, and honestly... I wouldn't know what else to use on Windows, as .bat files are capable of pretty much nothing.

Hi FrankTM,

yeah, the linux-tools for Windows are a great help for me :-)
Here they are for download:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils

You have to select another mirror, the first one is down at the moment.

Well, the only reason why I use batch / cmd is, it´s the only language I can handle,...
But, I am pretty good and everything I wanted up to now was working fine. RAID-Controller-parameters with cli-tools, read / grep and cut infos out of log-files from Backup Exec or Acronis True Image to get daily result of the backups, same for monitoring download-version of virusscan and so on.

It works great :-)


Kind regards,

Markus.

Markus,

Is is possible to post your items, triggers, templates etc for Back-up Exec and VirusScan so we can learn from it?

Hi Hotzenwalder,

I will start a new thread for that. It´s not part of the discussion here.


Kind regards,

Markus.
