and in UI:->

[JiP]

Change in zabbix frontend -
from Key: key.in.zabbix.frontend
to Key: key.in.zabbix.frontend[c:/path/to/log/file]

and set type:zabbix agent (active)

[hirschnf]

Another thing can be the slashes in the userparameter.

Change C:/TEMP/test.bat to C:\TEMP\test.bat

[harishgupta111]

its saying "Not supported" in status. Do we need to some changes in Item. I m pasting the screen shot please check

[hirschnf]

Keep it simple - so only define the key without parameters.
So in the key field should only be

key.in.zabbix.frontend

In the zabbix_agentd.conf you should define your userparameter
without[*] and $1

Parameters you can test in further steps.

Change these things, enable your item and test it again...
(the item should be supported!)

don't worry

Hi

Hi Frank,

Thanks for help

I did the changes in config. file and in Item. And still its saying not supported. Here is the information from Log file:-

2952:20111125:111031.754 In process_value() key:'OrderPath:key.in.zabbix.frontend' value:'ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED
2952:20111125:111031.759 Active check [key.in.zabbix.frontend] is not supported. Disabled.

[JiP]

Did you restart zabbix_agentd with modified conf file?

[harishgupta111]

Hi

Hi JiP,

yes I did. Infact I check the file with command zabbix_agentd.exe -c c:\zabbix_agentd.conf -t key.in.zabbix.frontend and it also showing the correct value.

[harishgupta111]

Also i checkd on server with command zabbix_get -s 192.168.148.82 -k key.in.zabbix.frontend
Result:-ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED

[harishgupta111]

Hi JiP

Hi,

Any solution

[JiP]

I just checked similar situation with my zabbix. And last chance is - change "C:\Temp\test.log" to "C:/Temp/test.log" and make sure the timeout is sufficient. :-)

[harishgupta111]

Hi

Hi Frank, JiP,

Thanks guys for support. Actually I just tried this key:-
UserParameter=key.in.zabbix.frontend,for /F %x in ('findstr /r /n "ERROR" C:\temp\test.log ^| find /C ":"') do echo %x
and Type= Zabbix Trapper
and Key= key.in.zabbix.frontend

And then I checked on server by command:-
zabbix_get -s 192.168.148.82 -k key.in.zabbix.frontend

its giving me result-> C:\Windows\system32>echo %23
%23

As I am checking its giving me correct count 23. But from this result i need only 23 not the complete string. I tried but didn't get the correct solution. So pls chk this and give me some idea. Thanks in advance guys.

[hirschnf]

Why do it so complicated?

Do an easy test:
UserParameter=test.zabbix.item,cmd /c echo 99

Your item should get the value 99, every time


and this is my item:

Type = zabbix agent
Key = key.in.zabbix.frontend
Type of information = numeric unsigned
data type = decimal
status = active
update interval = 30 seconds

After you create the item and update your zabbix_agentd.conf restart your agent and after 30 seconds you will see the first value...

test it...

[harishgupta111]

Hi

Hi Frank,

UserParameter=test.zabbix.item,cmd /c echo 99

Yes, you are right, this will give me the value 99 everytime.

But this is like hardcode. My requirement is to check the log file and get the count of some particular word and then return back that count.

Thanks

[harishgupta111]
