How does zabbix 1.4.6 work?

[jsomoza]

Hi all!

I'd like to update my zabbix 1.4.2 to the 1.4.6 version. Basicaly, i'm thinking on doing it because zabbix_sender 1.4.2 doesn't really work for me. Because of this, i'd like to know your opinion about the 1.4.6 zabbix version. Does it have any significant problem? Does zabbix_sender 1.4.6 work properly? Have you had problems with it?

Thanks.

If that still does not work have you checked the wiki for some of the "alternative" senders? http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/doku.php?id=zabbixsenderprotocol

I wrote a Ruby sender which I've used as a replacement and there is a perl sender in there from someone else. The Ruby sender will accept data points for one key from stdin or the command line. However you cannot feed it a file with a list of keys and data points, but it wouldn't be that hard to modify to do that.
