How can I add item in zabbix interface

hello every one,

I have a big problem where I can not find a key 'specHWShort' in the keys of the host

here what I did

On agent:
1-I installed the agent and used configuration file (c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.conf)
2-I added the script 'specHWShort.vbs' on c:\zabbix
3-I added the line of userparameter in conf file
UserParameter=specHWShort,cscript /nologo "c:\zabbix\specHWShort.vbs"
4-I restared the agent

on server:
1-I went to configuration-->hosts>'required server'-->item tap--> create item--> select key -->
at this point I donot find 'specHWShort' key
what can I do ?
Please help

Trying to get this setup on Windows and cannot find all of the steps to do so.

I can get the information out of the zabbix agent using the vbs script. E.g.

zabbix_get -s hostname -k specHWShort

Gives me:

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU            5120  @ 1.86GHz
RAM: 16384MB
HD0: DELL PERC 5/i SCSI Disk Device 731GB SCSI
GFX: ATI ES1000
MB: Dell Inc.
BIOS: Dell Inc. Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 2.7.0

But I don't get how I can pull this information into zabbix... I know I need to create an item, but I can't figure out the syntax. How does "specHWShort" translate into the sub items that are returned from this script? Is it specHWShort[RAM] ? But then what happens with like HD1, HD2, etc?

I don't get how this thread from 2012, last replied to 3 years ago is the best topic on this.

Hello,
help me someone ...
I added script into c:\zabbix\scripts and add line to config file

UserParameter=specHWShort,cscript.exe /nologo "C:\zabbix\scripts\specHWShort.vbs"

but when I run

PS C:\zabbix\bin> .\zabbix_get.exe -s server-11  -k specHWShort

I got error
zabbix_get.exe [12748]: Get value error: ZBX_TCP_READ() failed: [0x00002746] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
zabbix_get.exe [12748]: Check access restrictions in Zabbix agent configuration

When I run script from command line, it`s run well and show pop-up with results.

The IP address of the server that executed the command may not have been registered in the Server settings in zabbix_agentd.conf. Try running the zabbix_get command from the server running Zabbix server.

I`ve got the same results

.\zabbix_get.exe -s 192.168.1.1  -k specHWShort

IP is from Zabbix web "Configuration of Host" , and it could be right, isn`t it?

[Atsushi]

That is not correct. I wrote to run from on Zabbix server. If you want to run it locally on Windows, you need to set it in Server of zabbix_agentd.conf.

[hubertsvk]

I did this, on server what I monitoring I added this

Server=zabbixServerIP, 192.168.1.1

to zabbix_agent.conf
and in zabbix_agent.log is this

10972:20220421:102412.564 Unable to connect to [192.168.1.1]:10051 [cannot connect to [[192.168.1.1]:10051]: Connection refused.]

14656:20220421:102421.564 Active check configuration update started to fail

Anyway it`s working now ... but in the Inventory -> Overview (or Host) all fields are empty
