Simulate Active agent using telnet

[bbrendon]

How can I simulate an active agent connecting to zabbix and inputing some metrics?

I'm thinking:

telnet localhost 10051
commands...

Greetings,

I assume you mean to emulate a Zabbix Agent and want to send data to the Zabbix Server? If so, You can use the zabbix_sender command to actually send the data, or if you are troubleshooting and want to do telnet, it is something like <HostName> <ItemKey> <Value>. I would have to sniff the traffic again, or parse through the source code to confirm the format, but it is pretty easy to do.
