First of all, I found a thread about it
http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthre...light=multiple, but it was in wrong place.
Another examples (besides long database query):
1) Expensive long telnet query of router with 5-15k lines output, after grepping output I have 20-50 parameters.
2) ipmitool may be very slow if impi version 1.0 or 1.5, but ipmitool sensors give many parameters at once.
Many people suggest use so called proxy for caching results and save cache update time, but this task used many times and native support by zabbix_agentd will be very useful.
Cron solution with cache will be asynchrounous in general case (without additional syncronization?), I tested this setup and my graphs looks very bad - many horizontal parts (in a second query server gets a previos value and sometimes lose values).
Another thing is missing - auto getting trigger lower and upper limit by script. For example ipmitool gives temperature and other limits, configured in bios, etc.
In the light of new protocol and caching in 1.6, one missing thing is - multiple parameters per one script run.
Finally, I will be happy if my scripts output from cacti will be compatible with zabbix.
