setting up userParamters on the official docker zabbix image

[mibrahim]

I have been using zabbix for a couple of months now and comfortable with setting up userParamters. however when setting up a userParameter through the zabbix docker image it never seems to work.

on the container when i test my userParameter it works. it returns correct data. however it does not reflect on the console under the "latest data" section. i have tried this in numerous ways.

I have active checks set up and its working fine as when i attach a template to my host i get all the data i need. however the user parameter data does not come through after i created an item and trigger to pull data.

steps:

1. create userparamter on the container and restart the container e.g. ( UserParameter=testing.key, df -h)
2. on the console create the host and create an item and link the key to the item
3. go to latest data and see if data is coming through

the error:

Unsupported item key.

Try in UserParameter write the full path to df.

the df -h command is working as when i am testing it on the machine using "zabbix_agend -t testing.key" the data is returned. so the issue is not with the userParameter being set up wrong but somehow isnt being carried over to the zabbix server when i check in the console

I apologize for the inattention

not a problem mate, i am begining to think userparameters cannot be set in the zabbix docker image and wondering if anyone has been able to successfully

[mibrahim]

yes i have checked the logs and active checks are running. however i can see this

"active check configuration update from [zabbix-server:10051] started to fail (cannot resolve [zabbix-server])"

tbh i am not sure why i am seeing this error as i can see the data is being pulled over to zabbix console in the latest data section. i can see data from the linux OS template. but the userparameter i set up is still returning nothing
