integrate new Checks

[pdtec]

hello,
i wrote some shell scripts to check a few things on another client machine where i can't install the zabbix_agent(d) (because it's no windows/linux/unix OS). so how can i integrate those checks into my zabbix_server??

greets

Hi

I am struggeling with the same thing :-)
I found this in zabbix_agent.conf and zabbix_agentd.conf
UserParameter

Now I want to do this:
UserParameter=barracuda.latency,curl -s http://192.168.69.25:8000/cgi-bin/stats.cgi | egrep -e "latency" | sed s/[^0-9]//g

But I can't see the info, and dunno where to find it.
If you perhaps figure this out let me know too!

@pdtec: I think you are talking about external checks - see the latest zabbix manual chapter "5.11.7. External checks" on how to set those up

@mozzi: you're talking about a different thing, UserParameters are on the agent side, not on the server side. I answered this (hopefully ) in your other thread though

[pdtec]

first i want to thank you, i will try this next week

who?

If it is for the Userparameter there is a better post where I solved the problem :-)

ok now i integrated my external check but no data is beeing monitored. i think this is because of taking about 30 seconds to finish the script. is it declared somewhere to wait several time on external check data??

What kind of monitoring did you setup in the end ?

Agent + UserParameter ?
custom script with zabbix_sender in crontab ?

[pdtec]

i wrote my own snmp scripts like this:
************************************************** ***********************
#! /bin/sh
tmp_file=/etc/zabbix/3comtraffic/tmp/OutNUcastPktsPort$1.tmp
tmp=`cat $tmp_file`
rm /etc/zabbix/3comtraffic/tmp/OutNUcastPktsPort$1.tmp

actual=`snmpwalk -v 2c -c public an.ip.adress ifOutNUcastPkts.$1 | gawk '{print $4}'`

echo $actual >> $tmp_file

echo $(expr $actual - $tmp)
************************************************** ***********************

and this script i want to add in the zabbix-server

************************************************** ***********************
#! /bin/sh
i=1
packets=0
while [ $i -le 50 ]
do
a=`./transmitNUPkts.sh $i`
b=`./transmitUPkts.sh $i`
c=`./transmitOctets.sh $i`
packets=`expr $packets + $a + $b + $c`
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

echo $packets
************************************************** ***********************

this script returns a number if i run it in shell - but the zabbix zerver sais no data

[pdtec]

i found my own solution:
i think my script takes a long time and is timed out from zabbix-server.
i run this script via cron every 5 minutes and write the data into a file. another simple script reads the data and give it to the zabbix server.
