Run a progran and capture its output in the agent side

[Gabriel Miguez]

Hello, I was looking a lot for a way to run a progran/script in one of my monitoriced hosts and that the zabbix_agent captures the output and send it to the zabbix_server.

I need to execute a little script in ubuntu, and a program in windows xp, that will send the login of the current user of a host. I want the server to send request periodicly to the agents and the agents must answer with the loggin obtained executing a script/program.

Could someone tell me how can i do to execute and capture script's output in the agent host?

Not really sure what kind of information you want to collect.

But one can define a User parameter that executes a script (See: User parameters)
This User parameter can be used in an item with 'Text' set for the type of information and would be able to store up to 64kb of output.
