-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.
-v, --verbose
Enable verbose output when test item or print known items.
-T, --test-config
Validate configuration file and exit.
-h, --help
Display this help and exit.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
