Enhance auto-registration by using system.sw.packages for active agent

[Zeiko]

Hi,

Currently auto-registration process is cool to filter easily windows and linux host by using the system.uname HostMetaDataItem.

Sadly when you want to automaticaly add a template for installed packages on the VM it become a pain because of the current limitation of the whole process (255 char max, only one HostMetaDataItem...)

When using Zabbix Agent the agent is capable of gather installed packages via system.sw.packages.

It would be nice to allow more filtering on auto-registration process by adding a new condition like :

"Installed packages" => Value "Package" => action

Graphic example (modified with inspect element)

This seems like a hot topic lately...
You found the easy option for Win/Linux, but you can actually run some local script also, which might generate your desired list also... Just goes through installed packages and if something you need is installed, that name ends up in script output and that is used as metadata.. Autoreg scripts do template assignments based on that.

Yes it was me how posted the other thread

This post is a "featue/enhancement proposal/request" as I do not have an account on Zabbix support so I figured that this was the correct forum thread to post this.
