 Description   

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create test item (See screenshot 1)
  2. zabbix_sender -z 127.0.0.1 -p 10051 -s test -k value -o "0.0E-07"
  3. OK, see screenshot 2
  4. zabbix_sender -z 127.0.0.1 -p 10051 -s test -k value -o "0.0E+00"
  5. OK, see screenshot 2

 

  1. Add custom multiplier (See screenshot 3)
  2. zabbix_sender -z 127.0.0.1 -p 10051 -s test -k value -o "0.0E-07"
  3. OK
  4. zabbix_sender -z 127.0.0.1 -p 10051 -s test -k value -o "0.0E+00"
  5. Error "Item preprocessing step #1 failed: cannot apply multiplier "1000000" to value "0.0E+00" of type "string": cannot convert value to numeric type", see screenshot 4

zbx_variant_set_numeric() calls del_zeros() before passing value to is_uint64() and/or is_double() which ruins the value. Current implementation of del_zeros() functions removes trailing zeros and "." from the value, e.g., "10.0" becomes "10", "10.1000" becomes "10.1".

When using scientific notation, this results in:

  • getting error messages when using 0 as exponent (e.g., "1.0e0" becomes "1.0e", "1.0e+0" becomes "1.0e+");
  • getting invalid results when using exponent that is multiple of tens (e.g., 1.0e100 is converted to 1.0e1).
