HTTPS simple check not work

[justin]

The documentation indicates HTTPS simple checks were implemented since version 2.0 (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../simple_checks)

What gives?

# zabbix_server --version
Zabbix server v2.0.4 (revision 31984) (08 December 2012)
Compilation time: Feb  6 2013 01:40:26
# zabbix_get -s camo -k net.tcp.service[https]
ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED
# zabbix_get -s camo -k net.tcp.service[http]

Have you tried providing the service port number in the key? Perhaps the port its hitting is incorrect by default.

[justin]

Yea, I tried that too.

# zabbix_get -s camo -k net.tcp.service[https,,443]
ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED

I'm probably going to just end up running a simple check via command line with netcat, curl, or openssl For example.

echo QUIT | openssl s_client -connect camo:443 2>&1 | grep '^CONNECTED' | wc -l

My concern is that whatever I use isn't a true-n-tried implementation and may cause service issues. I've seen this before with homegrown checks for SSH/syslog/MySQL not adhering to RFC's, protocol standards, etc. Hardware and software vendors don't always follow suite either so ... it is what it is and at the end of the day, it works.
