adding custom checks to zabbix

[KingJustice]

we have recently made the decision to move from nagios to zabbix. and i'm actually very excited to try zabbix!

just one question. i have a lot of existing scripts and all i want to do is how do i set up a script like this in zabbix??

the below script must run on the remote node (the monitored node). i understand this particular script may already exists in the zabbix repository as this is only a process check. but i need to be able to set up other checks like it. checks that will need be passed parameters.

i understand 'userParameter' can be used here. but i've been googling this for days and i see so many different confusinng things. so im hoping someone can show me exactly how to set this up in zabbix so i can begin importing all my custom scripts from nagios.

Thank you all!

#!/bin/sh

STATE_OK=0
STATE_WARNING=1
STATE_CRITICAL=2
STATE_UNKNOWN=3

UPROCESS="${1}"
THRESHOLD=${2}

if [ $# -ne 2 ] ; then

        echo "ERROR: No processname was specified!"
        exit $STATE_UNKNOWN

elif [ $# -eq 1 ] ; then

        COUNT=$(ps -ef | egrep ${UPROCESS} | wc -l)

        if [ $COUNT -ge $THRESHOLD ] ; then
                echo "OK: $COUNT $UPROCESS running"
                exit ${STATE_OK}
        elif [ $COUNT -lt $THRESHOLD ] ; then
                echo "CRITICAL: $COUNT $UPROCESS running"
                exit ${STATE_CRITICAL}
        fi
fi

ok for this script you can use proc.num

if you would like to run this script you can use UserParameter
Example:

UserParameter=name.u.like[*],/path/to/script $1

then you must create an zabbix item key is:
name.u.like[Paramter1,Paramter2]
