Zabbix trapper help

[ObiJonKenobi]

Hi All,

Apologies for the lack of knowledge, I'm very new to Zabbix / general sysadmin work!

I have an issue with an Apache template and script I found on Github. The template has loaded fine but it's the zbxApacheStatusCheck script that I have an issue with.

Looking at /var/log/cron when it runs we see the following results:

I've looked at other threads on the issue but they refer to different arguments that don't quite match this issue.

The items are all configured by the template.xml that has been imported into Zabbix and all use numeric (float) for the type of information it's expecting.

Setting the server.config to extended debug doesn't show much other than what's returned to zabbix_sender:

7117:20190903:092001.811 trapper got '{"request":"sender data","data":[{"host":"OTL-CROSSRAIL-DEV","key":"custom.apache[failed]","value":"0"},{"host":"OTL-CROSSRAIL-DEV","key":"custom.apache[ServerVersion]$

Can anyone help? Is there something that I need to set in zabbix_server.conf?

Thanks in advance

Never mind, the template / script was ancient and we're on 4.2.6 -- using something more current and it works just fine. Can a mod close / dispose of this thread?
