 Description   

Steps to reproduce:

  1. I do have such a trigger {HOST:proc.num[,,run,ruby].last(#1)}<1
  2. when running locally it gives me expected result 
    XXX$ zabbix_agentd -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf -t proc.num[,,run,ruby]

proc.num[,,run,ruby]                          [u|1]
  1. But both in logs and from server it gives me 0 
    zabbix-server:~$ zabbix_get -s HOST -k"proc.num[,,run,ruby]"

0

     32502:20190603:232704.927 Requested [proc.num[,,run,ruby]]

32502:20190603:232704.929 Sending back [0]
  1. If I run it under zabbix user I do receive normal result 
    zabbix@XXX:$ zabbix_agentd -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf -t proc.num[,,run,ruby]

proc.num[,,run,ruby]                          [u|1]

Expected:
I receive 1 in all cases.

Also:

The same result with proc.num[,,run,nginx]

When you run zabbix_agentd -t, your item key picks up the manual run instance - you don't count the target process you intended, you actually count the zabbix_agentd process with that 1.

This would be a very welcome question on the Zabbix IRC channel.

Hi,
Thank you, richlv for providing a fast response

I'm changing the type of the ticket to a documentation task, since, In my opinion, this should be a documented example.

thanks, guys, that's helpful

This has been documented on 13/Jun/2018 in Zabbix agent key table Comments section for item proc.num.

WON'T FIX
