Hi. Im a newbie in managing and configuring zabbix. I need to configure zabbix to monitor and have an inventory of all the software installed on my server. Can someone guide me on how to do this? Thank you.

system.sw.packages[<package>,<manager>,<format>] Listing of installed packages. Text package - all (default) or a regular expression
manager - all (default) or a package manager
format - full (default) or shortSupported platforms:
Linux.
Lists (alphabetically) installed packages whose name matches the given package regular expression (all lists them all).
Example:
=> system.sw.packages[mini,dpkg,short] → python-minimal, python2.6-minimal, ubuntu-minimal
Supported package managers (executed command):
dpkg (dpkg --get-selections)
pkgtool (ls /var/log/packages)
rpm (rpm -qa)
pacman (pacman -Q)
If format is specified as full, packages are grouped by package managers (each manager on a separate line beginning with its name in square brackets).
If format is specified as short, packages are not grouped and are listed on a single line.
Supported since Zabbix 2.0.
Works only on linux. -
Currently looking at how to configure items. Thanks for the response.Last edited by jerometeano; 02-09-2022, 10:40.Comment

Hi.
Is there a way to present these values at a more readable manner? The result is like a raw version of data from the system.sw.package item key for zabbix agent. Thanks.

Hi guys,
Is it possible to add this software installed package in hosts inventory so that it can viewed as additional details for the hosts? Thanks.Comment

"populate inventory" is an option, but I am not sure if there is a field big enough to contain all of that...Comment
