Hi,

We are experiencing a significant problem on the zabbix server side.

We are working with a postgres 8.4 database.
the database is enoded in UTF8.

On the server logs , we get some : 31287:20100927:144440.030 [Z3005] Query failed: [0] PGRES_FATAL_ERROR:ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x82

this error refer to metrics send in non UTF8 format.

this metrics are send from windows agent 1.4 , but also from windows agent 1.8.3 ( from agentd or zabbix_sender)

at this time we d'ont know how to solve this problem.

the cmd.exe are in chcp 850 , we have tried to encode the cmd in chcp 65001 before sending data , it works but will be heavy to deploy.

Does the agent et the zabbix_sender are not meant to encode data in UTF8.

have you any advices on this point?

il will push up the results of our tests in this issues , but any welp would be really usefull.

thanks in advance
