Issue I am facing: Using an agent-side script to check for Windows Updates and report back to Zabbix using zabbix_sender. No problem getting numerical or text string values in there, however, I also want to send a text list of the updates available.
Is there no way to use the sender to send in blocks of text to Zabbix? I could use the new file contents item in v2, but that just gets ugly... one item to trigger the script to run, multiple items to show status of critical, non-critical updates, then another to go and collect the text from a file? Not only that, but I'd have no easy way of knowing if the contents in the file was current.
The sender utility could really use some love in vNext...
In any case, before I make a feature request I thought I'd see if anybody knew of a way to do this.
