[Calculated Items] Multiple level of escaping

[ckone35]

Hi Community,

I'd like to use zabbix to monitor our CXF webservices. CXF expose performance mbeans, great !! The name of the mbeans looks like the following :

org.apache.cxf:bus.id=internal,type=Performance.Counter.Server,service="{http://service.internal.archetype.entreprise.com/}ContractInternalServiceService",port="ContractInternalServicePort",operation="createContract"

I was able to successfully use the following item key to monitor our mbean.

jmx["org.apache.cxf:bus.id=internal,type=Performance.Counter.Server,service=\"{http://service.internal.archetype.entreprise.com/}ContractInternalServiceService\",port=\"ContractInternalServicePort\",operation=\"createContract\"",NumInvocations]

As you can see the key is horrible. So I try to wrap the jmx item into a "Calculated Item" with the last function, using this kind of formula :

last("jmx[.....]",0)

This is working when the jmx key is simple without double quote, but I can not get it to work with my example above ?

Have you an idea ?

My test : (escaping / and ")

last("jmx[\"org.apache.cxf:bus.id=internal,type=Performance.Counter.Server,service=\\\"{http://service.internal.archetype.entreprise/}ContractInternalServiceService\\\",port=\\\"ContractInternalServicePort\\\",operation=\\\"createContract\\\"\",NumInvocations]",0)

Does the (calculated item + last function) is the best way to accomplish my need ? A problem with this solution is that the calculated item is still lagging behind the jmx...

Thanks in advance
