NAME
zabbix_sender - Zabbix sender utility.
SYNOPSIS
zabbix_sender [-hpzvIV] {-kso | [-T] -i <inputfile>} [-c <config-file>]
DESCRIPTION
zabbix_sender is a command line utility for sending performance data to a remote Zabbix
server. On the Zabbix server an item of type Zabbix trapper should be created with
corresponding key. Note that incoming values will only be accepted from hosts specified in
Allowed hosts field for this item.
Options
-c, --config <config-file>
Use config-file. Zabbix sender reads server details from the agent configuration
file. By default Zabbix sender does not read any configuration file. Absolute path
should be specified. Only parameters Hostname, ServerActive and SourceIP are
supported. First entry from the ServerActive parameter is used.
-z, --zabbix-server <server>
Hostname or IP address of Zabbix server. If a host is monitored by a proxy, proxy
hostname or IP address should be used instead.
-p, --port <port>
Specify port number of server trapper running on the server. Default is 10051.
-s, --host <host>
Specify agent hostname as registered in Zabbix frontend. Host IP address and DNS
name will not work.
-I, --source-address <IP>
Specify source IP address.
-k, --key <key>
Specify item key to send value to.
-o, --value <value>
Specify value.
-i, --input-file <inputfile>
Load values from input file. Specify - as <inputfile> to read values from standard
input.
Each value must be specified on its own line. Each line must contain 3 whitespace
delimited entries: <hostname> <key> <value>, where "hostname" is the name of
monitored host as registered in Zabbix frontend, "key" is target item key and
"value" - the value to send. Specify - as <hostname> to use hostname from agent
configuration file or from --host argument.
An example of a line of an input file:
"Linux DB3" db.connections 43
The value type must be correctly set in item configuration of Zabbix frontend.
Zabbix sender will send up to 250 values in one connection. Contents of the input
file must be in the UTF-8 encoding. All values from the input file are sent in a
sequential order top-down. Entries must be formatted using the following rules:
· Quoted and non-quoted entries are supported.
· Double-quote is the quoting character.
· Entries with whitespace must be quoted.
· Double-quote and backslash characters inside quoted entry must be escaped
with a backslash.
· Escaping is not supported in non-quoted entries.
· Linefeed escape sequences (\n) are supported in quoted strings.
· Linefeed escape sequences are trimmed from the end of an entry.
-T, --with-timestamps
This option can be only used with --input-file option.
Each line of the input file must contain 4 whitespace delimited entries: <hostname>
<key> <timestamp> <value>. Timestamp should be specified in Unix timestamp format.
If target item has triggers referencing it, all timestamps must be in an increasing
order, otherwise event calculation will not be correct.
An example of a line of the input file:
"Linux DB3" db.connections 1429533600 43
For more details please see option --input-file.
-r, --real-time
Send values one by one as soon as they are received. This can be used when reading
from standard input.
-v, --verbose
Verbose mode, -vv for more details.
-h, --help
Display this help and exit.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
EXIT STATUS
The exit status is 0 if the values were sent and all of them were successfully processed
by server. If data was sent, but processing of at least one of the values failed, the
exit status is 2. If data sending failed, the exit status is 1.
EXAMPLES
zabbix_sender -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf -s "Monitored Host" -k mysql.queries -o
342.45
Send 342.45 as the value for mysql.queries key in Monitored Host host using Zabbix server
defined in agent daemon configuration file.
zabbix_sender -z 192.168.1.113 -i data_values.txt
Send values from file data_values.txt to server with IP 192.168.1.113. Host names and keys
are defined in the file.
echo "- hw.serial.number 1287872261 SQ4321ASDF" | zabbix_sender -c /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf
-T -i -
Send a timestamped value from the commandline to Zabbix server, specified in the agent
daemon configuration file. Dash in the input data indicates that hostname also should be
used from the same configuration file.
echo '"Zabbix server" trapper.item ""' | zabbix_sender -z 192.168.1.113 -p 10000 -i -
Send empty value of an item to the Zabbix server with IP address 192.168.1.113 on port
10000 from the commandline. Empty values must be indicated by empty double quotes.
