    Fundamental Zabbix Agent Item Question cups[printers]

    I have an item created by the previous administrator that is working. The problem is, i don't know how or why. On a solaris host, i have an item with the key "cups[printers]". The item apparently returns a 0 when all is well and >0 when there is an issue. The item type is Zabbix Agent. I can't find any reference in the documentation as to why this works. There doesn't seem to be any built in key for "cups". The item type is Zabbix Agent, so it isn't an external script. I guess i'm missing some fundamental understanding of Items/Keys. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.

    Sounds like a UserParameter. SSH into your Solaris host and find the file zabbix_agentd.conf

    Probably near the end of the file is a UserParameter that he created. You'll probably understand how it works once you see what that syntax is.

      That's it! That answers a number of outstanding name resolution issues. Thanks.
