Zabbix Agent2 - logrt on file with UTF16-LE encoding

[GeoRon]

Before I post a bug on the support page I thought I try to ask this on the forum.

Currently I am trying to monitor a rotating log file on a Windows client using the Zabbix Agent 2.

The log import kind of works, but there are weird signs in the item, that do no show up when I open the file on windows.


Opening the log file using notepad shows the file is encoded using UTF16-LE



So I looked up the encoding possibilities at the documentation at 1 Zabbix agent
They refer to encoding settings 1 Zabbix agent, that link to the libiconv - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) project.

There it is mentioned that full unicode UTF-16LE is supported.

So I changed my item to UTF-16LE encoding




But still the log import is not right..



Am I doing something wrong?
Or should I file a issue report??

Thanks in advance...
