A question about script

[unknown_man]

Hi, I'm a newbie to zabbix. I've got a Ubuntu server that installs zabbix and some windows clients running zabbix agent. Everything is running well. My question is how can I write scripts and how to run them on agent to send infomation back to the server? and can I make a call from server to the agents to get them run some given script (something like RPCs)? thank you very much

Try zabbix agent item type:

system.run[command,<mode>]

Example:
system.run[ls -l /] - detailed file list of root directory.

To enable this functionality, agent configuration file must have EnableRemoteCommands=1 option.

I never tried it.

so many thanks for your advice. But I still need more detail of a guide. Could you help me one more time, pls? And I need to know for sure if i can get ANY infomation from agent.

you can try to use zabbix_get for getting data from a remote/local Zabbix Agent. Just set up correctly and run zabbix_agentd. If you've got everything set right, you see the result. First time you try a simple item such as hostname or something like that.

I did create an item like this. But how can I make it run? could you tell me?
