I have an template with active item with key

proc.num[sshd,root,,"/usr/sbin/sshd -D"]

and a trigger

<1

The template is applied to a host and both the item and the trigger work as expected. But I wanted to do some testing using the zabbix_sender command like:

zabbix_sender -c zabbix_agentd.conf -k proc.num[sshd,root,,"/usr/sbin/sshd -D"] -o 0

but it always says failed:

info from server: "Processed 0 Failed 1 Total 1 Seconds spent 0.000161"

If I change the key on the item and on the trigger to

proc.num[sshd]

then it works as expected and the trigger gets fired on the server.
