UserParameter returns Text, need Integer

[danims]

Hello

I'm sure this is an easy one and has been asked before - though I didn't find it.

I have a UserParameter like this:

UserParameter=asterisk.num_registered_sip,asterisk -r -x "sip show registry" | grep -c Registered

On the zabbix agent's machine, I get a text result (probably because bash has no data types):

root@amy:~# zabbix_agentd -t asterisk.num_registered_sip
asterisk.num_registered_sip                   [t|2]

But when I get the information on the Zabbix server, the result is 0:

root@primrose:~# zabbix_get -s amy -k "asterisk.num_registered_sip"
0

Why is that?

Ah, nevermind. I ran it locally with User root. I forgot to use sudo in the check.
