Use of modbus.get to PowerLogic EGX100 Ethernet Gateway

[sj200449]

Hi,

I have 3 sensors hanging off an EGX100 ethernet gateway which I have established in Zabbix using SNMP for management info. However the three devices I hang off it speak modbus. I need to send the modbus.get key to the gateway and it has no zabbix_agent2 or any other agent running on it. I get an unsupported item key when I configure the zabbix item thus:



Do I have to install the additional older plug-in for zabbix and use modbus_read even though this is a 6.0 LTS server with zabbix_agent2 available and modbus.get built-in because there is no zabbix agent on the target device?

I believe Simple Type is correct and the SNMP interface (161 port in other words) is the only real interface said host (EGX) with serial devices has.

Regards,
Stephen.

Update:
Turns out the representation of real 32 bit , i.e. float in modbus implemented in zabbix the egx100 returns is mid-big-endian , so this works

/usr/sbin/zabbix_agent2 --test "modbus.get[tcp://192.168.3.193:502,1,3,3058,1,float,mbe,0]"

Hi

I have a question

How do you figure out that "turns out the representation of real 32 bit , i.e. float in modbus implemented in zabbix the egx100 returns is mid-big-endian"

I am facing the same problem as you.
