Zabbix Agent Userparameters overloads the System

[ahrar.ahmed]

Hi.

I am monitoring unbound DNS. Snapshots of Items and ps output attached with this...
This is the Userparamter
UserParameter=unbound[*],sudo /usr/sbin/unbound-control stats_noreset | grep $1= | cut -d= -f2

Default Polling interval is 60s i have also tried scheduled and flexible intervals as well..

Total Items being monitord are around 80. So after one minute Zabbix Server polls unbound machine...

The problem i face is that i want Zabbix agent to run this command once "sudo /usr/sbin/unbound-control stats_noreset | grep $1= | cut -d= -f2
"

But instead, for every item it run this separately (80 times) which results in processor overhead...
Can some one help me how can i achieve to poll unbound statistics only once, not like 80 times.

You'll probably have to redesign your custom item that runs the command to collect the data, but the solution to the issue is to use dependent items: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ependent_items
