Error in perf_counter[] special chars

[pierre-hoffmann]

Hi,

I'm searching for solution for special chars ,for example 'éèà' in french in key name, in perf_counter[].

Example creating:
Windows US key: perf_counter[\System\Threads]
Windows French key: perf_counter[\Système\Threads]

Generate:
Incorrect key format 'key_name[param1,param2,...]'

Any workarround .... Any Patch [i'm using Zabbix 1.4.5] ??

Just modify a line !

Hi Pierre,

I have the same problem.
I resolved it by modifying the line 393 on file /var/www/html/include/defines.inc.php !

replace: define('ZBX_EREG_PARAMS', '([[ print:]]+){0,1}');
by: define('ZBX_EREG_PARAMS', '(.+){0,1}');

Sincerely,
Jean Pierre

Thanks,

But what impact of this modification ?? Where is this string used ??

I'm on a production plateform with 350 hosts & 5000 items;
i don't wan't have database corruption

i've see that support of utf8 was in progress in v1.5.1 but not usable at this moment .... Downport to 1.4 ??

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9158

:: Added support of UTF-8
ZABBIX front-end is UTF-8 ready. Note that ZABBIX database
and ZABBIX server and agent processes are still not ready
for correct processing of UTF-8 data.

Best regards,
Pierre.

Hi,

I have the same problem.
I resolved it by modifying the line 393 on file /var/www/html/include/defines.inc.php !

I've try to modifie php part, but it seem that zabbix_server binary doesn't undertood 'éè..' chars
and items was allways 'Not supported by ZABBIX agent'

[Fix:
it seem that direct edit of mySQL database work
UPDATE `zabbix`.`items` SET `key_` = 'perf_counter[\\Disque logique(C: )\\% Temps écriture du disque]'
WHERE `items`.`itemid` =29201 ;]

Thank for your help.

Regards,
Pierre.

Hi,

with version 1.6 I still have problems. Someone has to fix it with 1.6?

Change your Perflib Registry key instead, like explained here.

Hum, maybe no

Change your Perflib Registry key instead, like explained here.

It's maybe not the better idea : if you don't have the possibility to do it or if you have 1000 french serveurs.
I love the php modif, I'll tell if the is any unespected effects.

In my zabbix debian, the file is in : "/usr/share/zabbix/include"
