Description

Steps to reproduce:

Create an item with this a macro in Key, like this:

db.odbc.select[get_status_variables2,,"Driver=MySQL;Database=zabbix;Server=teste.local;UID=svc_zabbix;PWD=\{$MYSQL.PASSWORD}"]

Error:
Cannot connect to ODBC DSN: [SQL_ERROR]:[HY000][1045][[MySQL][ODBC 8.0(w) Driver]Access denied for user 'svc_zabbix'@'teste.local' (using password: YES)]

I tried to use 'User name' and 'Password', but happened other error
db.odbc.select[get_status_variables2,,"Driver=MySQL;Database=zabbix;Server=teste.local;"]

** Error:

Cannot connect to ODBC DSN: [SQL_ERROR]:[HY000][1045][[MySQL][ODBC 8.0(w) Driver]Access denied for user 'svc_zabbix'@'teste.local' (using password: NO)]

Expected:
db.odbc.select[get_status_variables2,,"Driver=MySQL;Database=zabbix;Server=test.local;UID=svc_zabbix;PWD=password"]

With Oracle I didn't have this problem and I use the same user and password

db.odbc.select[ora_ses_act,,"Driver=Oracle;DBQ=//\{HOST.CONN}:1521/\{$ORACLE_ODBC_DSN};"]

In time, when I use TEST works in all situations:
db.odbc.select[get_status_variables2,,"Driver=MySQL;Database=zabbix;Server=teste.local;"]

db.odbc.select[get_status_variables2,,"Driver=MySQL;Database=zabbix;Server=teste.local;UID=svc_zabbix;PWD=\{$MYSQL.PASSWORD}"]

db.odbc.select[get_status_variables2,,"Driver=MySQL;Database=zabbix;Server=teste.local;"]

Hello Matheus,

Have you tried:

db.odbc.select[get_status_variables2,,"Driver=MySQL;Database=zabbix;Server=teste.local;UID=svc_zabbix;PWD={$MYSQL.PASSWORD}"]

I believe the extra '/' before your macro is causing your issues.

Let me know if it has fixed your issue.

Regards,

Jan

Hello Jan,

Same error.

But when I use "Test", it works.

Comment by Edgars Melveris [ 2025 Jun 25 ]

Can you reproduce the problem on a supported version of Zabbix? 6.4 is no longer supported.

Comment by Matheus Nunes [ 2025 Jul 04 ]

Hello Edgars,

Same error occurs in version 7.0.15.
