Custom scripts fed into actions comments

[cbidwell]

I've got a script that writes to a file whenever a specific server can't access multiple other servers over a period of time. The contents of the text of that file I would like to somehow import into a zabbix action and emailed out. Right now, I'm running in my zabbix_agentd.conf:

UserParameter=EQ.Monitor_wkg,cat /home/quake/REQS_monitor/logdir/zabbix.LOG | grep "RECENTEQS_Working" | cut -d: -f2 | sed "s/\s//g"

Which results in a 0 or a 1.

So in the rest of this zabbix.LOG file I have this:

RECENTEQS_Working: 0
server1 - Mon Mar 16 18:29:46 UTC 2009 - Uptime: 11:31:07 up 1:37, 2 users, load average: 2.31, 2.26, 2.08 - Rsyncs: 6
Problems:
Slow response (> 5 seconds) for 5 times from: server2/recenteqs/ (10.1.1.1)
Slow response (> 5 seconds) for 6 times from: server3/recenteqs/ (10.1.1.2)

See: http://serveraddress/mostrecent_summary.html

How can I get the information in blue to pull into an action comment?

Does anyone have any clue how to do this? Can it be done? Am I just missing something obvious?

Can you utilize the system.run item then pass the contents of that output into your action as a macro? Maybe it's the {ITEM.LASTVALUE} macro?

system.run[cat /home/quake/REQS_monitor/logdir/zabbix.LOG | grep "RECENTEQS_Working" | cut -d: -f2 | sed "s/\s//g]

Thank you for the reply, so do I need to create a new "item" putting the system.run[cmd] in there or does that system.run go into the comments of the action?

A new item. The item is what pulls the information. From there you can create a trigger which fires off the email action.
