Error Cannot create item: item with the same key

[stu]

Hi

I have several apps running on a single server. Some of these use sidekiq. I am trying to monitor whether sidekiq is running for these apps.

I have the following LLD script configured

#!/bin/bash

echo "{"
echo "\"data\":["

/usr/bin/find /home/ubuntu/*/current/config -name "sidekiq.yml"|awk -F"/" '{ print "{\"{#DIRNAME}\":\""$4"\"}," }' | head -c -2

echo "]"
echo "}"

This correctly generates the following


{
"data":[
{"{#DIRNAME}":"app1"},
{"{#DIRNAME}":"app2"},
{"{#DIRNAME}":"app3"}]
}


Now each sidekiq process is called the same as the folder, so there is a process running called app1 (which is the sidekiq process for app1) etc.

On the client I have the following configured


UserParameter=folder.discovery[*],/etc/zabbix/scripts/sidekiq.sh

In Zabbix I have the following configured

Discovery Rule:

Name: Discover apps using sidekiq
Type: Zabbix agent
Key: folder.discovery


Item prototypes:-

Name: Check if sidekiq is running
Type: Zabbix agent
Key: proc.num[#DIRNAME,ubuntu,,]


However, i'm getting the following error:-

Cannot create item: item with the same key "proc.num[#DIRNAME,ubuntu,,]" already exists.

Cannot create item: item with the same key "proc.num[#DIRNAME,ubuntu,,]" already exists.

Cannot create item: item with the same key "proc.num[#DIRNAME,ubuntu,,]" already exists.




What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi stu,

change your key for :

proc.num[{#DIRNAME},ubuntu,,]

After that I think it will work better
