    zabbix-agent-xxl-limited item keys?

    I am new to this, so please bear with me.

    I setup Zabbix 3.0 xxl server under CentOS 7, and it seems to work fine.
    Then I setup the Zabbix 3.0 agent xxl limited under Debian 8, and it also seems to be fine.

    (I used the docker images from here:
    https://hub.docker.com/r/monitoringa...t-xxl-limited/)

    I am able to setup my host (KVM VPS) to connect to the server, and it shows Enabled and green ZBX.

    Now the issue is when I try to add items.
    agent.ping works, but the few other ones I have tried I only get 'Unsupported item key' warnings on.
    example:
    vm.memory.size[available]
    system.cpu.load[percpu,avg1]
    system.boottime


    -------- What I want to use it for --------
    On the host I will be running a few docker containers.

    This is the information I am after:
    host: cpu load, used memory, free diskspace, disk io
    for each docker container: cpu use, memory use, running status

    Is this possible?
    Do I have to use an agent other than the one I am trying with?


    -------- TL;DR --------
    What are the supported item keys for this agent? ( 3.0.4 XXL (2016-08-21) )


    Can I get cpu, and memory information for each running docker container?

    It's in the README/description:
    All docker module container metrics are available except docker.xnet

      It was unexpected.
      What I had to do was move from Debian 8 to CentOS 7 for it to be able to read more values

        You should to expect it. It's limited and it's described in the readme. It's easy to start agent in the container, but it's not easy to read all host metrics from the container.

          2nd generation of my Dockerized Zabbix agent has been released - https://github.com/monitoringartist/dockbix-agent-xxl/
          It has fewer limitations now.
