Guide that explains passive Zabbix agent executing a custom Bash script?

[Sandra]

Dear all =)

I would like to use the Zabbix Agent in passive mode, and have it execute the script /xabbix/check_example.sh every hour.

Does anyone know of a guide that explains such a setup?

I don't think such "guide" exists because everything explained in documentation.I guess the output of your "check_example.sh" is a simple value? In this case you have 2 options:

1. Create new "UserParameter=foobar,/xabbix/check_example.sh" in "/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf" file. Create new item of "Zabbix Agent" type with Key=foobar

2. Move your "check_example.sh" to "/usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/" folder. Create new item of "External check" with Key=check_example.sh

Set update interval of 1h for above item.
