Timeout for Zabbix script

[onallion]

Hello,
I am having some questions about the timeout of Zabbix while trying to create a new item.
I created the item that runs a script, and I defined the script location as a UserParameter after making it excutable.
The problem is that executing time for that script is more than 30 seconds. Does anyone know what is the best way to handle this issue?

Even if Zabbix's Timeout setting is extended, it can only be set up to 30 seconds.
In other words, it does not support something that takes more than 30 seconds to get item value.

Periodically use cron etc. to output the result to the file, UserParameter to get the result only, or consider how to pass the value to the Zabbix server using the zabbix_sender command.
