increasing the timeout value beyond 30 seconds in zabbix_server.conf

[viks_a]

Can we increase the timeout value in zabbix_server.conf beyond 30 seconds. My perl scripts are taking between 2 - 3 minutes


Thanks,

Use item trapper types like here:

I have decided to output the value ( 0 for success and 1 for failure ) to a file and then configure the item and trigger which reads the value from the file.

However the trigger is always getting a value of 0 even though the file contains 1

Here is the perl code: ( even though i am taking the input from user for $host, I am not using that for processing in the code ),


my $host="$ARGV[0]";

GetOptions('file=s' => \$input);

my $val = `cat $input`;

if ( $val == 0 ){
print "0\n";
exit 0;
}
else {
print "1\n";
exit 1;
}


and here is the expression used in the trigger

{srx-240-node0:read_file.pl[--file 1.1.1.1.NTP].last(0)}#0

no matter what's in the file , only 0 is being returned

You can increase timeout over 30 sec by changing “Timeout” in source file src/zabbix_server/server.c and
recompiling Zabbix server - follow this step by step tutorial https://bestmonitoringtools.com/incr...rver-or-agent/

Per-item timeout with a 10 minutes limit is available in 7.0.0alpha5: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-1096
