DESCRIPTION
zabbix_get is a command line utility for getting data from Zabbix
agent.
OPTIONS
-s, --host host-name-or-IP
Specify host name or IP address of a host.
-p, --port port-number
Specify port number of agent running on the host. Default is
10050.
-I, --source-address IP-address
Specify source IP address.
-t, --timeout seconds
Specify timeout. Valid range: 1-600 seconds (default: 30)
-k, --key item-key
Specify key of item to retrieve value for.
-P, --protocol value
Protocol used to communicate with agent. Values:
auto connect using JSON protocol, fallback and retry
with plaintext protocol (default)
json connect using JSON protocol
plaintext connect using plaintext protocol where just
item key is sent (6.4.x and older releases)
--tls-connect value
How to connect to agent. Values:
unencrypted
connect without encryption (default)
psk connect using TLS and a pre-shared key
cert connect using TLS and a certificate
--tls-ca-file CA-file
Full pathname of a file containing the top-level CA(s) certifi‐
cates for peer certificate verification.
--tls-crl-file CRL-file
Full pathname of a file containing revoked certificates.
--tls-agent-cert-issuer cert-issuer
Allowed agent certificate issuer.
--tls-agent-cert-subject cert-subject
Allowed agent certificate subject.
--tls-cert-file cert-file
Full pathname of a file containing the certificate or certifi‐
cate chain.
--tls-key-file key-file
Full pathname of a file containing the private key.
--tls-psk-identity PSK-identity
PSK-identity string.
--tls-psk-file PSK-file
Full pathname of a file containing the pre-shared key.
--tls-cipher13 cipher-string
Cipher string for OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer for TLS 1.3. Override
the default ciphersuite selection criteria. This option is not
available if OpenSSL version is less than 1.1.1.
--tls-cipher cipher-string
GnuTLS priority string (for TLS 1.2 and up) or OpenSSL cipher
string (only for TLS 1.2). Override the default ciphersuite se‐
lection criteria.
-h, --help
Display this help and exit.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
EXIT STATUS
The exit status is 0 if zabbix_get successfully retrieves a value from
the Zabbix agent. If value retrieval failed, the exit status is 1.
