Is it still possible to run remote commands? Zabbix 7+ agent 2 or agent 1

[DoItAgainSteelyDan]

Hello,
I' m trying to enableremotecommands=1

But no success with zabbix 7.2 / agent 2(windows 11pc)

I don't see anywhere in the UI for triggers


I only see Send Message

any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

Well it depends what you want to accomplish, trigger a command on a host or send a message to someone.

Yes you can use EnableRemoteCommand although this parameter is deprecated. Instead use AllowKey or the UserParameter parameters in your agent configuration file.
To trigger a command on a remote host enable it in the agent configuration file like

### Option: AllowKey
AllowKey=system.run["net start *",*]
AllowKey=system.run["net stop *",*]

### Option: DenyKey
DenyKey=system.run[*]

In the case above you can start/stop services from you zabbix server.

The screenshot you posted is for sending message to user of usergroups when something happens.

Thanks, i'll see if I can get it working using allowkey and denykey. I was trying to create a test script where it would delete files out of a folder if storage was above >X%

did you end up getting this working? I'm lost on where to go to get some kind of trigger to perform a service bounce action. I get the concept that I need to adjust the agent on the endpoint server, but i assume i need to setup some kind of action on the zabbix server and i dont see where to do that. Any help on if you got it up and runing would be a big plus! Thank you
