Windows by Zabbix agent: Error when adding

[dkoski]

Zabbix server, proxy, agent: 6.0.28

I have recently run into a problem adding the Windows by Zabbix agent template. With an empty template list, adding the agent yields an error: "Cannot update host. Incorrect item value type 'Character' provided for trigger function 'min'." I have resorted to, instead, adding Windows filesystems by Zabbix agent, ..generic.., ..memory.., ..network.., ..physical disks... Just wondering if anyone else has seen this or if it is a bug.

Specifically, the 'min' function requires a numerical value type, but it appears to be set as 'Character.' To resolve this issue, you should review the configuration of trigger functions within the template and ensure that the item value types are correctly specified. If necessary, adjust the value types to be numerical where required. If you're unable to resolve the issue on your own, you may want to seek assistance from the Zabbix community forums or consider reaching out to Zabbix support for further guidance. In the meantime, using alternative templates for monitoring Windows filesystems, memory, network, and physical disks with the Zabbix agent can serve as a temporary solution. Remember to keep your Zabbix server and agent versions up to date to minimize the risk of encountering compatibility issues or bugs in the future.

Thank you for the reply. I am using vanilla templates so it was surprising to me it seemed broken. I thought it might be more widely reported. For now, it goes to the back burner.

On closer examination of the template description, it says: "Official Windows template. Requires agent of Zabbix 4.4 and newer." I do not install anything newer than 4.0 and the server is definitely 4.0.
