Zabbix Protocol Suggestion

[dalle]

Hi,
I've done the same question time ago, without success
It is possible to add a timestamp to zabbix protocol?

I mean now the protocol is the following:
<req>
<host>hostname</host>
<key>item key</key>
<data>item value</data>
</req>
is there any way to add a timestamp at sent zabbixitem? where for timestamp I mean the time stamp when is retrieved the item.
On a busy environment may happen that the server is unreachable while you are sending the item and if send the item with a delay you are sending in such a way wrong data

Ciao!

It is possible and, for instance, zabbix_sender does this with -T option when loading data from an input file. Problem is that XML has been replaced with JSON a while back: http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/doc/tech/...senderprotocol.
You just add "clock":UNIXTIMESTAMP to your request.
What version are you using?
