NAME
       zabbix_agentd - Zabbix agent daemon

SYNOPSIS
       zabbix_agentd [-c config-file]
       zabbix_agentd [-c config-file] -p
       zabbix_agentd [-c config-file] -t item-key
       zabbix_agentd [-c config-file] -R runtime-option
       zabbix_agentd [-c config-file] -T
       zabbix_agentd -h
       zabbix_agentd -V

DESCRIPTION
       zabbix_agentd is a daemon for monitoring various server parameters.

OPTIONS
       -c, --config config-file
              Use the alternate config-file instead of the default one.

       -f, --foreground
              Run Zabbix agent in foreground.

       -R, --runtime-control runtime-option
              Perform administrative functions according to runtime-option.

           Runtime control options
               userparameter_reload
                   Reload user parameters from the configuration file

               log_level_increase[=target]
                   Increase  log level, affects all processes if target is not
                   specified

               log_level_decrease[=target]
                   Decrease log level, affects all processes if target is  not
                   specified

           Log level control targets
               process-type
                   All  processes of specified type (active checks, collector,
                   listener)

               process-type,N
                   Process type and number (e.g., listener,3)
               pid Process identifier, up to 65535. For larger values  specify
                   target as "process-type,N"

       -p, --print
              Print  known  items  and exit.  For each item either generic de‐
              faults are used, or specific defaults for testing are  supplied.
              These defaults are listed in square brackets as item key parame‐
              ters.   Returned values are enclosed in square brackets and pre‐
              fixed with the type of the returned value, separated by  a  pipe
              character.   For  user parameters type is always t, as the agent
              can not determine all possible return values.  Items,  displayed
              as working, are not guaranteed to work from the Zabbix server or
              zabbix_get  when  querying a running agent daemon as permissions
              or environment may be different.  Returned value types are:

           d   Number with a decimal part.

           m   Not supported.  This could be caused by querying an  item  that
               only  works in the active mode like a log monitoring item or an
               item that requires multiple collected values.   Permission  is‐
               sues  or incorrect user parameters could also result in the not
               supported state.

           s   Text.  Maximum length not limited.

           t   Text.  Same as s.

           u   Unsigned integer.

       -t, --test item-key
              Test single item and exit.  See --print for output description.

       -T, --test-config
              Validate configuration file and exit.

       -h, --help
              Display this help and exit.

       -V, --version
              Output version information and exit.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf
