 Description   

zabbix_get can sometimes be used to quickly gather some value from a lot of hosts, but it uses system timeouts when target is not reachable. sometimes this can be very slow.

would be nice to get an additional option to always override all timeouts

It actually uses Zabbix' hardcoded GET_SENDER_TIMEOUT which translates to 60 seconds.

The attached patch adds a -t/--timeout option to specify the timeout in seconds. It has no limitations and isn't validated any better than "port" is. It applies to the head of the 2.2 branch (r40766).

The problem here is Windows platform support as I understood. Can you check if this will work on Windows?

Implemented in svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBXNEXT-1468

Doesn't compile!

zabbix_get.c:31:12: error: missing binary operator before token "("
#if !define(_WINDOWS)

You forgot a "d" there.

jurism Typo corrected.

Specification is not available now. I reopen the issue.

This has been here for almost five years now, and it's a very nice feature, not requiring much code. Any chance of this getting implemented?

Comment by Alexei Vladishev [ 2022 Jul 10 ]

I am not sure why it is still open since we already support timeout (-t) option for zabbix_get. I am closing it.
