Zabbix 5.2.0 introduced the new item type "Script", and like the pre-processing feature it only supports JavaScript.
IMHO JavaScript is nothing a typical IT system administrator like me, working at a Microsoft centric manage services provider (MSP) is capable of. I cannot write a single word of JavaScript as a Citrix and Microsoft Server Administrator, nor can my co-workers. I have co-workers which are web-developers and they can write JavaScript, but they aren't system administrators. My point is: Typical administrators can write PowerShell, Python, Perl, Bash. but not JavaScript.
I personally can write very good PowerShell 7 scripts on Linux.
PowerShell 7 is available on many Linux Platforms:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-core-on-linux?view=powershell-7
- Ubuntu 16.04
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 18.10
- Ubuntu 19.04
- Ubuntu 20.04
- Debian 8
- Debian 9
- Debian 10
- Alpine 3.9 and 3.10
- CentOS 7
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7
- openSUSE
- Fedora
- Arch Linux
- Snap Package
- Kali
- Raspbian
So my request is as following:
Please add support to insert any script into the code field other than JavaScript and let me just choose the interpreter as an additional drop-down field in Zabbix Frontend. So the Zabbix server administrator is responsible to install the language needed on Zabbix Proxy/Server like perl, python, PowerShell, or whatever for the script interpretation.
