Scripts

[CeeEss]

Is anyone successfully using scripts accessed from a right-click of the host column in the Top 20? Even the most rudimentary script fails:

Ping /bin/ping -t {HOST.CONN}

JAVA-ssh is completely out of the question. I also cannot figure out what vars or macros Zabbix is returning here. I can get $0, the script name (whoo-hoo), but $1, $2, {HOST.CONN}, {HOST.DNS}, {IPADDRESS} all return nada from this test script:

#!/bin/sh
echo meh
echo "0. "$0
echo "1. "$1
echo "2. "$2
echo {HOST.CONN}
echo {HOST.DNS}
/bin/ping -c3 {IPADDRESS}
exit 0

Results:

meh
0. /opt/zabbix/bin/sshtest
1.
2.
{HOST.CONN}
{HOST.DNS}

Some insight into this would be greatly appreciated!

how exactly does ping fail ?
maybe there's some error, like dns lookup problem - add stderr redirection for the ping script :

/bin/ping -t {HOST.CONN} 2>&1

as for your testcase, you didn't show what the script is configured in zabbix.

Aha - redirection makes i work. Now i need to get a good ssh webclient working. Thanks, Rich.
