External Script Output Array

[cronuscronus]

Hello. I have a script that returns an array of data as its output.

One line of the array looks like:
278425.hostname.com 1.0 14.0 14.0 acct0 Unknown 604800.0 user0

I would like to use Zabbix to capture and store each column, and each row from the external script.

In the past I've successfully used an external check to capture a single value; however, I'm not sure how to capture an array of values.

Does anybody know the best way to store this sort of data in Zabbix?

[hirschnf]

perhaps you can build a loop in the external script like foreach... and then use zabbix_sender to send the data to zabbix?

Strongly agree!!!
I`m doing pretty much exactly what have sugested hirschnf and are satisfied with results.

It's been about a year since I last worked with Zabbix. I forgot all about zabbix_sender! Good call.
