Itens collecting at the same time

[gibbix]

I've got an external check which returns me an information like:

OK 1 0 1 4

And each of this information is an item.

Like:

Plugin check : OK
In use: 1
Problems: 0
......

But I'm executing the external check with a parameter like:

check[{HOST.IP},1] - this returns me status.

The only problem is that i need all this information collected at the same time.

Is there a way I can collect all at the same time and then separe them as itens? Or force all the collects to be at the same item for a template? All the information is complementary, and I need them to be collected at the same time..

Can anyone help?

How about using Zabbix trapper items?
You could send multiple values in a bulk via Zabbix sender executed by your external check.
The value returned by your external check could then possibly be replaced by a status/return code whether everything worked well.
One could also think of executing the respective script that collects/sends the data by Cron instead by Zabbix.

Good ideas, I liked the idea of sending it with zabbix_sender. It worked well, but I didn't want to be a "hostage" of zabbix agent. I would like to send/collect the information without having to install the agent on the host.

Could u think another possibility of doing that?

As mentioned before by executing a custom script that collects the data and sends it to Zabbix server via Zabbix sender.
When you even want to get rid of zabbix_sender, then take a look at the Zabbix sender protocol and feed it by yourself.
