Zabbix external script call to Zabbix_sender successful but no data in Zabbix field

[jjerpseth]

Zabbix external script called with IP address of web server and issues a curl statement which outputs status, response time and number of bytes in response to a temporary file Response.txt with the sample format:

- Response_code 200
- Response_time 2.47
- Response_size 347

Zabbix_sender is then called to send the Response.txt to our zabbix server. I get a successful response from Zabbix_sender but no data in Zabbix.

Is there a way to get more debug information from Zabbix_sender to see what is really happening or a way to trap the input from Zabbix_sender in the Zabbix server?

You should check the receiver log file. If the trapper item is monitored by proxy - proxy log, if by server - server log. You can temporarily increase server/proxy trapper process logging level, e. g.:

zabbix_server -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf -R log_level_increase=trapper
zabbix_sender [...]
... check /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log ...
... when finished: ...
zabbix_server -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf -R log_level_decrease=trapper
