Monitor IBM i with Zabbix

[per.hillerstrom]

Hi,

So I monitor IBM i using an agent that export below information about disk space I would like to set as a graph instead.

0CTL1141 - Ok : 74% used on a total of 95 GB for the ASP 1.|Used=71GB Total=95GB Rate=74% Evol=0%

I just wanna look at the value named Rate=74% above and I can change this to a graph by using preprocessing as below.

1. Right trim = Evol=0%
2. Regular expression = Rate=.* \0
3. Replace = Rate=
4. Replace = %

So far so good, but the issue appears when "Evol=0%" are changed to much from time to time (Evol=1% , Evol=5% , Evol=15% etc.) ... then my graph will be bananas so I need your help how I should set my preprocessing instead?

Anyone that can help me to solve this? I have tested multiple combinations.

Why so many preprocessing steps?... all you need is one regex...

Rate=(.*?)%

and set output to "\1" (without ""-s)

Thank you for your response!

I think I solved it (maybe not in the most perfect way) before I had the time to read your response. So far the graph is behaving as expected.

What is the point of using regex if you are still outputting whole value? Isn't the point of it making your life easier...? q
