 Description   
  1. zabbix_get -s 10.20.0.17 -k proc.num
    37
  2. zabbix_get -s 10.20.0.17 -k proc.num[,]
    37
  3. zabbix_get -s 10.20.0.17 -k proc.num[,,]
    ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED
  4. zabbix_get -s 10.20.0.17 -k proc.num[,,,]
    ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED

yes, according to doc 3rd parameter is not supported under windows:
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/appendix/items/supported_by_platform

but there no any notes about 4th parameter which means that it has to be supported.

Please fix.

A line added to http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/appendix/items/supported_by_platform explicitly stating that 4th parameter is not supported on Windows.

In the Zabbix agent item table it is already stated that only the 1st and 2nd parameters are supported on Windows.

zalex_ua indeed, I missed this detail on the "Zabbix agent item table", thanks.

But documentation fix is not single my point.
It would be useful to have 4th parameter supported under windows.

In proc.c for win32 we have:

int	PROC_NUM(const char *cmd, const char *param, unsigned flags, AGENT_RESULT *result)
...
	if (num_param(param) > 2)
		return SYSINFO_RET_FAIL;
...

So it's designed to not support 3rd and 4th under windows.
Time to move it to ZBXNEXT project

Issue moved here from ZBX project.

Attached patch allows filtering by "process image name" (not cmdline) on Windows: this was enough for us to identify different java-based processes based on their install path.

 

I'm posting it here just in case someone else find it useful.

The required documentation changes have been made, a long time ago now. With regard to adding support for the fourth parameter of proc.num for Windows, feel free to create a feature request (ZBXNEXT project), in which you may also reference this ticket.
