Hello everyone, I have been working on setting up reliability monitoring on my using Zabbix but have had issues with active checks and log monitoring.My goal is to have the output of a log[] check to show up as a % value in my overview screen. [image3]

Currently, I have a log file in /var/lib/zabbix called sre.txt This file is owned to my Zabbix user and can be opened by that user.
When I set up an item using zabbix's log monitoring [Image1] I don't see any errors but I also don't get any output when I view the item in my overview section [Image2]


I am running both the zabbix-server and zabbix-agent on CentOS7. I have the active server set and the hostname set to the hostname of my zabbix-server. From what I can tell the active checks are working because I am not getting the "unsupported" error message.
In the logs, I see that active checks are being pulled but can't tell if my new active check is running and sending data.
From the zabbix-agent:
What I believe are the relevant zabbix-agent configs can be found below. If I am missing something or there is something you need to see please let me know and I will try to provide it.
If I have missed anything pelse let me know. I have read a few forum posts on the topic but they havent been helpfull in getting this to work.
TLDR; I want to get the output of a log[] key check to show up as a overview value but can't seem to get it to work.
