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

ified during compile time).
