Try to get UserParameter to return a value

[Ting-sf]

Hi,

I am trying to get UserParameter work, I have a host with zabbix agent2 installed, and few UserParameter set up working, but I can not get this one return any value, here is:

UserParameter=disk1,smartctl -a /dev/sda | awk '/^(Elements).*:/ { print $3 }'

if I run smartctl -a /dev/sda | awk '/^(Elements).*:/ { print $3 }', it will return a value I want, but somehow UserParameter does not return thsi value to zabbix, it show blank.

anybody can help?

Agent is being run as "zabbix" user, that user might not have permissions to use smartctl.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, you are correct, I add sudo in the command line, it works

UserParameter=disk1,sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | awk '/^(Elements).*:/ { print $3 }'
