I get this error message on the agent based item:
Value "8.677502" of type "string" is not suitable for value type "Numeric (unsigned)"

Why is this number being returned as a string from the Zabbix Agent?

I could change my item to be a string, but then I'd lose graphing ability. I have also tried using a preprocessor Javascript with a return Number(value) script, but that also does not work.

Is there a setting on the zabbix agent I am not using properly?

Thanks,
Kevin
