Zabbix Sender - sending "/" character in key value

[pankajdharmik]

Hi,

I am trying to send the following via zabbix sender:

#zabbix_sender -z <zabbix_server> -s <test_server> -k 'vfs.fs.size[/var,pused]' -o 90


I get the following message back
info from server: "Processed 0 Failed 1 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000061"
sent: 1; skipped: 0; total: 1



On the zabbix server logs i can see the following:

20774:20130810:174048.119 Trapper got [{
"request":"sender data",
"data":[
{
"host":"test_server",
"key":"vfs.fs.size[\/var,pused]",
"value":"90"}]}] len 125

20774:20130810:174048.119 End of zbx_send_response():SUCCEED




Some how the zabbix server is appending "\" character before "/var" before it in the key data ...any way to avoid this ?

Please help !!!!

I'm also having this issue with Zabbix 1.8.17, where I'm sending data to a proxy server.

I reckon this is a bug in the Zabbix Server and Proxy code.

Here's an old bug report where it was supposedly fixed in 1.8.3: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-2880
