Same observation, with the same HostnameItem configured on both config files (3.4.0 agent finds the correct hostname "windows8", 4.4.4 fails):

Thank you! Will try to get some attention to this. |

Writing it like this fixed it for me: Maybe something for Documentation that commands with '[' and ']' characters need to be quoted. |

The feature is kind of documented here https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/config/items/item/key#parameter_-_array however I agree it might be not too easy to understand. As to particularly documenting Windows agent configuration, I agree, let's see if that will help others here. |

Everything here is working as it should according to documentation. When using HostnameItem with system.run[] item all the item key formatting rules apply to it. The correct format in this case is: HostnameItem=system.run["powershell -NonInteractive \"[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName(($env:computerName)).Hostname.ToLower()\""] The documentation could be improved by additionally pointing out that if a parameter string contains quotation mark then this parameter has to be quoted and each quotation mark inside of that string has to be escaped with "\" character. |

Hi Viktors, I come on the issue but in my case is more tricky... If put the system.run on Zabbix Agent HostInterfaceItem parameter everything is working . Zabbix Agent 4.4.5 - zabbix_agentd.conf HostInterfaceItem=system.run["powershell -NonInteractive \"[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName(($env:computerName)).Hostname.ToLower()\""] Log from Zabbix Agent 13112:20200429:115044.640 EXECUTE_STR() command:'powershell -NonInteractive "[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName(($env:computerName)).Hostname.ToLower()"' len:15 cmd_result:'desktop-kfhjv0d'
The problem comes when i test using Zabbix Get on the same Windows machine CMD shell: zabbix_get.exe -s 127.0.0.1 -k system.run["powershell -NonInteractive \"[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName(($env:computerName)).Hostname.ToLower()\""] Agent Log details: 11472:20200429:114728.420 Requested [system.run[powershell -NonInteractive "[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName(($env:computerName)).Hostname.ToLower()"]] 11472:20200429:114728.421 Sending back [ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED: Invalid item key format.]
Do you know why? Thanks |

Hi Dimitri, zabbix_get.exe -s 127.0.0.1 -k "system.run[\"powershell -NonInteractive \\\"[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName(($env:computerName)).Hostname.ToLower()\\\"\"]" |

This is windows cmd specific On linux I would simply do:
./bin/zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -k 'system.run["powershell -NonInteractive \"[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName(($env:computerName)).Hostname.ToLower()\""]'

Hi vso & viktors.tjarve, Thanks so much for your suggestion and both solution is working, i would suggest to Zabbix Team to update the Documentation about this case (include some example scenario). Still thanks so much! |
