Help with zabbix_sender and hostname

[stefstef]

Hi

I'm trying to implement a script that calls zabbix_sender but I always get the same error when I run the zabbix_sender:

Warning: 'Hostname' parameter required

The command line is as follows:
zabbix_sender.exe -z zabbix-server -p 10051 -s zabbix-client -k KEY -o 5.5 -v

I'm running zabbix 1.6.6. What am I doing wrong?

Well, I came up with a solution I'm not all to happy with, but it works. I substituted the -z and -p switches with the -c switch, but I found that I had to define the config file and hostname parameters right after the switch, with no space in between. Like:

zabbix_sender.exe -czabbix_agentd.conf -szabbix-client -k KEY -o 5.5 -v

Hi guy.


I know how to use the "zabbix_sender", you can try it follow me .
zabbix_sender -z IP_zabbix_server -s hostname -k KEY -o key_value
For example:
zabbix_sender -z 192.168.2.140 -s szg -k hrfw.cpu -o 80
Specially, I will say that "szg" is the PC's name that you had defined in the front-end. Do you understand me???
The item type must "zabbix trapper"

Yep, that's what I tried to begin with. I then found that I couldn't put a space between the -z switch and the server name and the -s switch and the hostname. I fixed it as I stated above your reply. It was messy, but it worked. When I had the spaces the log would know the name with a space in front, like [ server].

Thanks for your offer dagun, but like I've been trying to say in my past posts, I've found a solution (messy, but it works).
