system.hw.devices[usb] key gives "Unsupported item key."

[AclyssylcA]

Hallo everyone,


When trying to configure a new Item that will check status of USB device on Windows machines, I get "Unsupported item key." msg in return.

The defined key value was based on official instructions from:https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...osts/inventory

The key used was: system.hw.devices[usb]

It seems like this key

• system.hw.devices[pci|usb] - default is [pci]

is not supported at all anymore???!!!


Anybody has any idea what could be wrong here?
I'm having Zabbix 5.0.16 running in my environment.


Thanks and best regards!!!

"system.hw.devices" key by Zabbix Agent is only supported by Windows and Linux 2.4, according to current documentation.

Still, I can query newer Linux hosts with this key using Zabbix Get.

$ uname -a

$ zabbix_get -s [hostname] -k system.hw.devices[usb]

Usually "Unsupported item key" pop up shows some error message.
Your Server/Proxy must have log information as well. You should check that.

Are you also getting unsupported item key? Have you checked the logs?

I didn't look for it because I needed it urgently, so I did it through Kaspersky's policies, which sends me a message every time a device that uses a USB input bus is connected or activated.
