UserParameter problem

[steff]

Hi all,

I'm experiencing a strange error with UserParameter.

I've create a python script that makes a sql query to a db. The script has been named query.sh, it has the execution permission enabled for world and it begins with !#/usr/python. If I exec it on shell it works : ./query.sh and returns 0 or 1.

I've added in the agent conf file :
UserParameter=system.db_query,/usr/local/bin/query.sh

and configured the server to read the item system.db_query from the host where I placed the script.

But the server responds to that item with "Not supported". Either if I specify in the agent conf file

UserParameter=Yes

it doesn't work.

Some suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
steff

Make sure the return value doesn't have any spaces.

Solved , a coworker found the solution!

Becuase we ported the script from nagios, we were returning the code also as exit code without knowing that values different from 0 have a special meaning in zabbix.
So we changed all the exit code to 0 and left only the notification on the stdout.

Hope it may help.
