proc.num Too many parameters

[Helios]

Hi All,

I'm running zabbix 6.0.1 as an appliance and have successfully deployed the zabbix agents to Linux and Windows servers. I have a common process that is launched with different parameters, therefore I'm trying to filter using the cmdline options instead of the process name specifically.

On linux I am able to monitor my process using the following key:

proc.num[,myuser,,myprocess Sydney]

However, on windows I am monitoring a similar process except that I keep getting an error returned stating "Too many parameters" with the following key:

proc.num[,myuser,,myprocess.exe Newcastle]

I have also tried the following with no luck:

proc.num[",myuser,,myprocess.exe Newcastle"]

I have also tried both zabbix agent and zabbix agent 2. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Try

 proc.num[,myuser,,"myprocess.exe Newcastle"]

Thanks Incama,

I gave your suggestion of double quotes around the cmdline a try but unfortunately it still popped up with the same error in the zabbix interface and agent logs.

Well, it helps to read docs..

On Windows, only the name and user parameters are supported.

EDIT: I am not sure it can handle process with parameters on windows..

proc.num[chrome.exe]

will give you number ( in case of below example - 8) but trying something like

proc.num[chrome.exe --type=utility]

(which you can see in process list in task manager) returns 0 or even

proc.num["chrome.exe\" --type=utility"]

still 0.

Ahhhh yes you are right! My bad, time to read more carefully. I missed that, I started on our Linux servers first and when I got it working moved to Windows. I assumed the functionality would be the same on both OS.

Thanks for your help Cyber , I might look at running script to do the check server side specifically for these processes with command line params.

Have you ever got such problems with
vfs.file.cksum[/etc/passwd,sha256]
ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED: Too many parameters.
