'Value should be a JSON Object' - appears valid to me
Hi all,
I come in a state of confusion.
I'm by no means a Zabbix expert - we only started using it a few weeks back. But the last few days I have been battling to get an ESXi monitoring script working - a Python script returns JSON values that is set up in LLD rules...
When I test the script locally, all seems good. Please see output in screenshot attached.
But still in Zabbix I receive the ''Value should be a JSON Object' error - also attached.
One of the keys, specifically the one that seems to work and return JSON when I test via bash, is:
vmware_esxi_cim.py["-H","https://{HOST.NAME}","-u","{$VMWARE_USER}","-p","{$VMWARE_PASSWORD}","--cim-classname","CIM_Card","discovery"]
As far as I can see I have emulated that with my command tested locally...
python /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/vmware_esxi_cim.py -H https://name -u zabbix -p *** --cim-classname=CIM_Card discovery
Why on earth is Zabbix not accepting this JSON value?! Am I missing something?
I have also validated the JSON with http://jsonlint.com/ - and it is successful.
I must be missing something, or just not looking in the right place for potential errors.
I am running Zabbix Server Appliance 3.2.1.
Thanks,
Harley
