Zabbix and logrt.count doesn't get data

[lovelysidhu]

I'm running Debian and Zabbix 3.4.

I've created a custom item with the following syntax:

logrt.count["/var/log/^req_log.*.txt$","TIMEOUT"]

I'm trying to detect any log file in the format req_log2018-06-26.txt with the word TIMEOUT and return the number of occurenses.

But no data is gathered with this item, even though there are some files in the directoty which does contain the word.

What is "no data is gathered" ? Is item NOTSUPPORTED ? Is it returning 0 all the time ? If 0 all the time, then you can append a test record "TIMEOUT" to see does it report "1" once and then 0's again.
Also you can try DebugLevel=4 in zabbix_agentd.conf (or increase DebugLevel with -R option at runtime) to see what logrt.count[] is doing.
