zabbix_sender 1.4.2 just not getting it

[cbozemangmail]

Hello,

I am new to Zabbix and have been running 1.4.2 for just over a month using the simple checks and agents.

Now I need to use zabbix_sender on a windows machine and I figure I am missing something on the config to make it work.

I have a zabbix server setup at 192.168.0.253 working great with host entry of "Test" with IP of 192.168.0.2 (also defined in the host config). I created an Item for host "Test" with a desc of "test" and key of "here" selecting Zabbix trapper from the type pulldown.

On Host "Test" I try...
zabbix_sender.exe -v -z 192.168.0.253 -s 192.168.0.2 -k test.here -o 1234

and get an answer of...
zabbix_sender.exe [2568]: Warning: Incorrect answer from server [NOT OK]
sent: 0; failed: 1; total: 1

What am I missing here?

Thank you,
CBozeman

Solved

I figured this out.

The key that zabbix_sender expects is just the key as listed in the item config. The description does not show up here at all.

Thanks
