Overwriting agent checks with UserParameter?

[jfischer]

We're having some HP-UX machine in our environment which we want to monitor using ZABBIX agent (v1.8.2).

Unfortunately, the agent does not support the proc.num[] item on HP-UX. So our idea was, to use a UserParameter to define proc.num[], e.g. like:

UserParameter=proc.num[*],UNIX95= ps -C $1 -o args= | wc -l

This returns ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED. The following works:

UserParameter=proc.num,ps -ef | wc -l

This wouldn't allow us filtering for specific processes, tho. We'd like to use the same item names so we can use the same templates for Linux and HP-UX machines for certain checks.

Does anyone have recommendations and/or experience on how to perform this?

I've the same thing in 1.8.2, but it works with in 1.4.4 HPUX Agent
