Zabbix-Get

[stevefxp]

Hello all,

I am trying to test certificate availability with zabbix_get. Its telling me I need to install one of the following:

Command 'zabbix_get' not found, but can be installed with:
apt install zabbix-proxy-mysql # version 1:5.0.17+dfsg-1, or
apt install zabbix-proxy-pgsql # version 1:5.0.17+dfsg-1
apt install zabbix-proxy-sqlite3 # version 1:5.0.17+dfsg-1
apt install zabbix-server-mysql # version 1:5.0.17+dfsg-1
apt install zabbix-server-pgsql # version 1:5.0.17+dfsg-1

I am running the command from my Zabbix server. Why is it asking to install a SQL based tool?

Thanks,
Steve

Using Ubuntu? That tends to make "helpful" suggestions when command is not found.

$ apt-cache show zabbix-get | grep Version
Version: 1:7.0.2-1+debian12
Version: 1:7.0.1-1+debian12
Version: 1:7.0.0-1+debian12

In any case, you need to install it separately:

sudo apt install zabbix-get

(Edit: To your question, those dfsg-marked Zabbix packages are the ones packaged by the Linux distribution, they should be avoided whenever possible. When you have the official zabbix-release package installed from zabbix.com, then your "apt install" commands automatically use the Zabbix-provided official packages. For some reason the "command-not-found" utility apparently suggest those Debian/Ubuntu-packaged old versions, maybe they contain zabbix_get as well, don't know.)
