 Description   

After rebuilding my zabbix_agentd for 64bit on AIX (see ZBX-6564), I've now unearthed another issue:

In AIX 6.1, the key "system.stat[memory,avm]" (active virtual pages) only works if zabbix_agentd is compiled as 32bit. If the agent is compiled as 64bit, this key becomes "not supported".

On AIX 5.3 this problem doesn't happen.

As an additional note, is there a reason why I can't test "system.stat" keys on the command line? This command returns
ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED:

   /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd -c /usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf -t 'system.stat[memory,avm]'

But this one also returns ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED although the agent seems to be reporting values to the server just fine:

  /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_agentd -c /usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf -t 'system.stat[memory,fre]'

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong here, or this is reason for another bug report...

As an additional note, is there a reason why I can't test "system.stat" keys on the command line?

With 3.0.15 on AIX 7.1:

$ sbin/zabbix_agentd -t 'system.stat[memory,avm]'
system.stat[memory,avm]                       [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED] [Collector is not started.]
$ sbin/zabbix_agentd -t 'system.stat[memory,fre]'
system.stat[memory,fre]                       [m|ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED] [Collector is not started.]

So, yes, these items require a working agent, not just one started with '-t'.
