Create a new item based on file

[fernandino]

Hello everyone. I'm trying to create a graph for my windows server based on a new item that is supposed to read data from a file generated by s software I created.

I that even possible? I tried to read somethings in the forum and search things on the web but couldn't find anything. I even saw some posts here that said things like how to capture comments on scripts or graph item with multiple values, but this is not the case. What I need is to read some data on a text file and after that, create a new graph based on it. Does Zabbix does this kind of thing?

Sorry to hear your searches did not yield good information.

This should likely do what you need.

As for how to write a small script on windows to read the file, sorry I can't offer much help, I'm a Linux guy... ;-) Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

Here we go

Hey man TKS A LOT for the answer but i thing I might have lead you to missunderstand 1 thing. I already have s windows script that generates a file with data in it...Like zeros(0) and ones(1).

I'd like zabbix to read this file as an item so I can generate a graph later, got it?

Also, the user parameter you sent me are great, but, I didn't really got it... like "UserParameter=wc[*],grep "$2" $1|wc -l" is suppose to match what file to run the wc command? The one passed as a paramenter? If so, can I pass it as a file instead of a variable?

Tks already
