Runnig PowerShell script using externalscripts / system.run on Linux.

Hi Everyone,

I am working on running some PowerShell scripts BUT - on linux, pswh works well in general from the command prompt, here is the simply command that check the date:

pawel@zabbix:/$ pwsh -Command "Get-Date"
Thursday, September 24, 2020 2:24:22 PM

However when trying to run it as an item I am getting an error:

pawel@zabbix$ zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -k system.run["pwsh -Command "Get-Date""]
cannot create user data directory: /nonexistent/snap/powershell/137: Permission denied

Checked that - indeed "/nonexistent" is the location of the zabbix user:

pawel@zabbix$ getent passwd zabbix
zabbix:x:112:114::/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin

I gave 777 starting from /nonexistent till the /137 folder - nothing.

I've found something like this where someone runs powershell scripts https://www.b-blog.info/en/monitorin...th-zabbix.html however he shoots to zabbix with them with zabbix trapper - maybe that was the reason this person done it this way?

I've tried to run pwsh with all these switches [-NoLogo] [-NonInteractive] [-NoProfile] and... unfortunately [-NothingHelpedAndIamFrustratedAF].

Is there something specific that need to be done for powershell / linux system to allow zabbix Powershell script executions on a linux machine?

Hi! So what I did I installed powershell on ubuntu in accordance with Microsoft instructions and all works well now. I have a powershell script in externalscripts which is triggered by bash script in an external item - works as well as on Microsoft Machines ^^
