External Scripts?

[AlexYoung]

Does Anyone use any other scripts apart from the default ones?

[Firewire2002]

Yes of course.

External Scripts? - Yes possible.

Yes possible. You need to place scripts in /etc/zabbix/scripts/ , create a UserParameter inside zabbix_agentd.conf, create key zabbix agent and give your UserParameter entry here.
For ex:

UserParameter=myscript, /bin/bash /etc/zabbix/scripts/myscript.sh

And create a item with 'myscript' as key of type zabbix agent.

Thanks

What sort of one's do you use it for.

[zabbixfk]

Depends upon the requirement. Any type of scripts can be written and placed under UserParameter , can let zabbix capture the value.
I was under the impression that you needed help in configuring external scripts. If not, ignore this post.

Thanks

Yeah sorry was my mistake should of been more clear. I've just installed 3.0 and just wondering about Remote Commands etc..

i.e. How to do it and works, i'll have a look through the docs but was just wondering what other people have done i.e. do you have examples to share?

[zabbixfk]

Above post has an example named myscript.
Usecase : Sometimes you have custom scripts built for managing/monitoring your Infra or any custom application, and when you wanted to integrate with zabbix, use this parameter. I had build custom script for computing results based on the input parameters for a custom application and integrated using UserParamer with zabbix.

Thanks
