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 agentd configuration file. By default Zabbix sender does not read any configuration file. Only parameters Hostname, Server- Active, SourceIP, TLSConnect, TLSCAFile, TLSCRLFile, TLSServerCertIssuer, TLSServerCertSubject, TLSCertFile, TLSKey- File, TLSPSKIdentity and TLSPSKFile are supported. Hostname de- fined through HostnameItem parameter will not be picked up, in this case the hostname should be specified via command line (see -s option). All addresses defined in the agent ServerActive configuration parameter are used for sending data. If sending of batch data fails to one address, the following batches are not sent to this address. -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. When used together with --config, overrides the entries of ServerActive parameter specified in agentd configuration file. -p, --port port Specify port number of Zabbix server trapper running on the server. Default is 10051. When used together with --config, overrides the port entries of ServerActive parameter specified in agentd configuration file. -I, --source-address IP-address Specify source IP address. When used together with --config, overrides SourceIP parameter specified in agentd configuration file. -t, --timeout seconds Specify timeout. Valid range: 1-300 seconds (default: 60) -s, --host host Specify host name the item belongs to (as registered in Zabbix frontend). Host IP address and DNS name will not work. When used together with --config, overrides Hostname parameter speci- fied in agentd configuration file. -k, --key key Specify item key to send value to. -o, --value value Specify item value. -i, --input-file input-file Load values from input file. Specify - as <input-file> to read values from standard input. Each line of file contains white- space delimited: <hostname> <key> <value>. 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. Spec- ify - 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 sequen- tial order top-down. Entries must be formatted using the fol- lowing 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 en- try 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 trig- gers referencing it, all timestamps must be in an increasing or- der, 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. If a timestamped value is sent for a host that is in a no data maintenance type then this value will be dropped; however, it is possible to send a timestamped value in for an expired mainte- nance period and it will be accepted. -N, --with-ns This option can be only used with --with-timestamps option. Each line of the input file must contain 5 whitespace delimited entries: <hostname> <key> <timestamp> <ns> <value>. An example of a line of the input file: "Linux DB3" db.connections 1429533600 7402561 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. --tls-connect value How to connect to server or proxy. Values: unencrypted connect without encryption (default) psk connect using TLS and a pre-shared key cert connect using TLS and a certificate --tls-ca-file CA-file Full pathname of a file containing the top-level CA(s) certifi- cates for peer certificate verification. --tls-crl-file CRL-file Full pathname of a file containing revoked certificates. --tls-server-cert-issuer cert-issuer Allowed server certificate issuer. --tls-server-cert-subject cert-subject Allowed server certificate subject. --tls-cert-file cert-file Full pathname of a file containing the certificate or certifi- cate chain. --tls-key-file key-file Full pathname of a file containing the private key. --tls-psk-identity PSK-identity PSK-identity string. --tls-psk-file PSK-file Full pathname of a file containing the pre-shared key. --tls-cipher13 cipher-string Cipher string for OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer for TLS 1.3. Override the default ciphersuite selection criteria. This option is not available if OpenSSL version is less than 1.1.1. --tls-cipher cipher-string GnuTLS priority string (for TLS 1.2 and up) or OpenSSL cipher string (only for TLS 1.2). Override the default ciphersuite se- lection criteria. -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 suc- cessfully 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 -k mysql.queries -o 342.45 Send 342.45 as the value for mysql.queries item of monitored host. Use monitored host and Zabbix server defined in agent con- figuration file. 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 item of Monitored Host host using Zabbix server defined in agent configuration file. zabbix_sender -z 192.168.1.113 -i data_values.txt Send values from file data_values.txt to Zabbix 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 /usr/local/etc/zabbix72/zabbix_agentd.conf -T -i - Send a timestamped value from the commandline to Zabbix server, specified in the agent 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. zabbix_sender -z 192.168.1.113 -s "Monitored Host" -k mysql.queries -o 342.45 --tls-connect cert --tls-ca-file /home/zabbix/zabbix_ca_file --tls-cert-file /home/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.crt --tls-key-file /home/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.key Send 342.45 as the value for mysql.queries item in Monitored Host host to server with IP 192.168.1.113 using TLS with cer- tificate. zabbix_sender -z 192.168.1.113 -s "Monitored Host" -k mysql.queries -o 342.45 --tls-connect psk --tls-psk-identity "PSK ID Zabbix agentd" --tls-psk-file /home/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.psk Send 342.45 as the value for mysql.queries item in Monitored Host host to server with IP 192.168.1.113 using TLS with pre- shared key (PSK).
