Utility for sending monitoring data to Zabbix server or proxy.
General options:
-c --config config-file Path to Zabbix agentd configuration file
-z --zabbix-server server Hostname or IP address of Zabbix server or proxy
to send data to. When used together with --config,
overrides the first entry of "ServerActive"
parameter specified in agentd configuration file
-p --port port Specify port number of trapper process of Zabbix
server or proxy. When used together with --config,
overrides the port of the first entry of
"ServerActive" parameter specified in agentd
configuration file (default: 10051)
-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 seconds)
-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
specified in agentd configuration file
-k --key key Specify item key
-o --value value Specify item value
-i --input-file input-file Load values from input file. Specify - for
standard input. Each line of file contains
whitespace delimited: <host> <key> <value>.
Specify - in <host> to use hostname from
configuration file or --host argument
-T --with-timestamps Each line of file contains whitespace delimited:
<host> <key> <timestamp> <value>. This can be used
with --input-file option. Timestamp should be
specified in Unix timestamp format
-N --with-ns Each line of file contains whitespace delimited:
<host> <key> <timestamp> <ns> <value>. This can be used
with --with-timestamps option
-r --real-time Send metrics one by one as soon as they are
received. This can be used when reading from
standard input
-g --group Group values by hosts and send to each host in
a separate batch
-v --verbose Verbose mode, -vv for more details
-h --help Display this help message
-V --version Display version number
TLS connection options:
--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) certificates 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 certificate chain
--tls-key-file key-file Full pathname of a file containing the private key
--tls-psk-identity PSK-identity Unique, case sensitive string used to
identify the pre-shared key
--tls-psk-file PSK-file Full pathname of a file containing the pre-shared
key
--tls-cipher13 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 GnuTLS priority string (for TLS 1.2 and up) or
OpenSSL cipher string (only for TLS 1.2).
Override the default ciphersuite selection
criteria
