Add millisecond timestamp to through zabbix_sender

[simontsang]

Hi,
I know Zabbix 2.0 now is supporting nano seconds. I am wondering how to put my own time stamp through zabbix_sender in millisecond resolution.

Here's what I did
zabbix_sender -z localhost -T -i /tmp/zabbix/timetestfile

Inside the timetestfile:
testHost TimeStampTestKey 1356019739 2

The "2" at the end is just a value to kick off a trigger.
The "1356019739" is the unix timestamp in second resolution

I am wondering does anyone know how to fit the nano second as a parameter into this? Or there's another way to do it.

In the zabbix database, I looked the events table of zabbix 2.0, I definitely found there's a new column called "ns" added. I also verified the timestamp I put in through zabbix_sender update the column "clock". I hope will be able to update the "ns" column as well through zabbix_sender.

Thank you.

Vote if you need it

I also need it

I need it, and i vote. Looks like not too hard to implement. While i prefer pass timestamp (both second and nano/millisecond parts) via command line key, rather than via '<hostname> <key> <timestamp> <value>' content of text file. Also auto-timestamping using precision local time, would be nice.

Hello.
I create litle path for support nanoseconds in zabbix_sender.
I add option "-N". Where this option present, data file have this format:
"hostname item_name timestamp nanoseconds value".
This work, but i do not very good programmer.

Please review and push to upstream
