Multiple UserParameters with only one script execution

[Matthieu]

Hi,

I've a script who return a list of integer(187;97;28816867;58772952;67;97).
To extract each value as a zabbix parameter I've add multiple UserParameter in my zabbix-agentd.conf.

UserParameter=mscpt.minsize,/usr/bin/python /home/mscr.py zabbix cut -f1 -d";"
UserParameter=mscpt.maxsize,/usr/bin/python /home/mscr.py zabbix cut -f1 -d";"
....

But with this, my script is called for each Userparameter. In this example he's called, twice.

Is it possible to execute only one time my script and after, cut for each Userparameter without use a temporaire file?

I ask this question because my script take 5 - 10 seconds to execute all his internal commands.


Thanks

Matthieu

Within your script create a data file in text format, with integers and keys, then use zabbix_sender to send all data in one time.

For example, put in the file /tmp/ZabbixMscptStats.Sender :

hostxxx mscpt.minsize "625659"
hostxxx mscpt.maxsize "53017"

Then use in your Python script the line :

os.system( "/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_sender -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf -i /tmp/ZabbixMscptStats.Sender" )
