help me with php script

[rodrigotl]

I want to use a php script in UserParameter like:


UserParameter=db.size,php /root/calc_zdb_size.php

This php script has in the end the following line:

echo $size;

,where size is the number of bytes in my zabbix database.

But when I configure the item db.size on zabbix server web interface it does not works. It shows me "Not Supported". Then I go to the zabbix_server.log and see that:

027856:20070518:112453 Parameter [db.size] is not supported by agent on host [Aquarius2] Old status [0]
027856:20070518:112511 Type of received value [1417019392 ] is not sutable for [db.size@Aquarius2] having type [3]

It seems that zabbix is not recognizing an integer value but a string. What can I do to make zabbix get a number (integer or float value)?

I wait for your help!

Kind regards.

It seems that the extra space in '1417019392 ' makes the difference.

OK, but the problem is with the echo function? Or with php? What could I do to solve that?

I´ve solved my problem using an ambient variable in linux:

UserParameter=db.size,export dbsize=`php /root/calc_zdb_size.php`|bc; echo $dbsize

Bye!
