vfs.file.size & Windows Environment Variables

[mrogers-9898]

Hi All,

I cannot for the life of me get vfs.file.size working with Windows environment variables.

Oddly, it works locally when testing from the agent, but not when configured as an item,

Agent


Server

I should note I've tried many combinations of different quotes and escape characters without success.

If I don't use vfs.file.size and instead get funky, it works fine.

..but it doesn't seem elegant.

Server is 2.2.4, agent was both 2.0.2 and 2.4.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Windows environment variables are not resolved by zabbix_get.

Please use the item key with full path instead.

vfs.file.size[C:\Windows\write.exe]

Best Regards,

I cannot bet on that Windows is actually living in c:\windows - that's the whole idea of using the environment variables.

zabbix_get can handle windows environment variables.

at least in some fashion.

Using the same parameter in both functions and only one works. Bug?

If you want to use environment variables you can try system.run instead.
