Problem when creating an item

[mio]

Hi!

I have a problem when creating an item:

in zabbix conf file I placed new item:

UserParameter=TomcatThreadStatus,curl -su Administrator:Password 10.0.0.2/manager/status/all | grep http-80 | awk '{ gsub("<tr>","\n"); print }' | awk '{ gsub("<td>"," ") ; print }' | awk '{if ($2 > 1000) print $2}' | awk '/[0-9]/' | /usr/bin/wc -l

When pasting this query directly, result is OK:
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 36780 0 36780 0 0 1529k 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 1933k
0


Unfortunately in Zabbix all I can see is status \not supported\.
I restart zabbix agent after applying changes in config file.

Would be grateful for any help.

Wow! That's huge!

You may be better off writing a simple shell script to do that. Zabbix sometimes complains of spaces and extended characters in UserParameters.

Instead of what you have, put what you have in a shell script, e.g. example.sh

Then call that script as the UserParameter, e.g.

UserParameter=TomcatThreadStatus,/path/to/example.sh

I find that this keeps my config file cleaner, and it is easier to troubleshoot because it keeps odd pipe behavior out of Zabbix's way.
