system.cpu.util not supported by agent

[verus]

Hi,

I want to monitor "system.cpu.util" but i get "not supported by zabbix agent".

The server is 1.8.4
The agent is 1.8.4

The monitored server is a windows server 2003, 32 bit.

The item is:

Type: zabbix agent
Key: system.cpu.util[,system,avg1]
Type of information: Numeric (unsigned)
Data type: Decimal
Units: (nothing)

The log shows this:
Item [SRVR_BE_BR_Cx_Server:system.cpu.util[<cpu> <,type> <,mode>]] error: Not supported by Zabbix Agent
Parameter [SRVR_BE_BR_Cx_Server:system.cpu.util[<cpu> <,type> <,mode>]] is not supported, old status [0]

How is this possible, what am i doing wrong ?
thanks,
Verus.

I found the solution.
item had to be "numeric - Float".
cheers.

I keep getting this issue with running it directly on the agent. I keep getting:

# zabbix_agentd -t system.cpu.util[]
system.cpu.util[]                             [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED]

I haven't seen a good solution yet besides its a bug.
