Is there a Debian package that contains zabbix_get?

[todd_mm]

My googling turns up nothing helpful in this regard, as if it's obvious. However, I installed Zabbix 4.4 (then upgrade to 5.0) on a debian 10 system, and can't find zabbix_get anywhere.

What package is supposed to contain this binary? I saw some reference to zabbix-server-mysql as purporting to have it, but my package, 1:5.0.5-1+buster/amd64, doesn't have it. There is nothing in the filesystem named "zabbix_get"

I have these packages installed. The file is not in (`dpkg -L ...`) any of them.

• zabbix-agent 1:5.0.5-1+buster amd64
• zabbix-apache-conf 1:5.0.5-1+buster all
• zabbix-frontend-php 1:5.0.5-1+buster all
• zabbix-release 1:5.0-1+buster all
• zabbix-server-mysql 1:5.0.5-1+buster amd64

Where should I expect to find it?

They split 'zabbix_get' into its own package (zabbix-get) at some point in the 4.x series. Older documentation that indicates it's part of some other package is outdated.

See, e.g., https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-...n-ubuntu-18-04

Dang! I searched for all packages with "zabbix" in the name, and I didn't notice this.
Thanks.

According to Debian package finder, it's included in one of several pacakges, not (or no longer) in its own: https://packages.debian.org/search?s...table&arch=any
Perhaps it's different for Ubuntu. It installed properly with zabbix-proxy-mysql, for instance, but that added tons of dependencies.

I did the following for a minimal install on a system on which I needed none of these dependencies:

• apt-get install zabbix-proxy-mysql
• cp -p /usr/bin/zabbix_get /root
• apt-get remove zabbix-proxy-mysql && apt-get autoremove zabbix-proxy-mysql
• cp -p /root/zabbix_get /usr/bin

If you're using SELINUX, be sure to relabel.
