Running VB Scripts (Windows Agent)

[rogerlawrence]

Zabbix Agent : 2.2.5
Zabbix Server OS: Centos 6.5
Zabbix Server Version 2.2.5
Agent Host OS: Windows 8 x64

Trying to Accomplish:
Monitoring Windows Updates as per online instructions. Technically I'm just using this example so that I can figure out how this works.

Steps Taken:

1: Created vbs script on Windows 8 Machine with the following contents:

Set updateSession = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.Session")
Set updateSearcher = updateSession.CreateupdateSearcher()
Set searchResult = updateSearcher.Search("")
wscript.echo searchResult.Updates.Count

2: I can run the vbs script and it returns 4.

3: Added the following line to zabbix_agentd.conf:

UserParameter=wua.getnumupdates,%systemroot%\syste m32\cscript.exe /nologo d:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\getnumupdates.vbs

4: Created Discovery Rule:

Name: Windows Updates
Type: Zabbix agent
Key: (Tried 2 different Keys) :
Key 1: wua.getnumupdates[]
Key 1 Result : Error Not Supported by Zabbix Agent

Key 2: wua.getnumupdates
Key 2: Result : Value should be a json object

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.
