Hello all,
I'm having some trouble with getting zabbix_sender to send multiline text items from an input file. I'm getting the feeling that it is not supported, and if so, I'd like to know so I can stop putting an effort in it.
Background: I prefer using 'zabbix_sender -T -i <file>' because all the items in that update will have the same timestamp, and can be stacked in a graph without looking hideous. In that same zabbix_sender run, I have the (multiline) output of a storage controller command which I'd like to save.
What I'm basically trying is:
Input file "file.dat":
And I run:
You can also try using "-i -" and typing the lines on STDIN, but that yields the same "Warning: 'Key' required" after each <return>.
What does work, however, is the following trick:
Any thoughts? Is the input file option just something that doesn't go with multiline items?
