3 Ember+ plugin

Overview

The configuration file of Zabbix agent 2 is used to configure plugins. These Zabbix agent 2 configuration parameters are supported for operating the Ember+ plugin.

It is recommended to specify them in their own configuration file (e.g. emberplus.conf) and then use the Include directive for adding this file to the Zabbix agent 2 configuration.

The Ember+ plugin is a loadable plugin and is available and fully described in the Ember+ plugin repository.

This plugin is currently only available to be built from the source (for both Unix and Windows).

Note that:

  • The default values reflect process defaults, not the values in the shipped configuration files.
  • Values support environment variables;
  • Zabbix supports configuration files only in UTF-8 encoding without BOM.
  • Comments starting with "#" are only supported at the beginning of the line.
