 Description   

Zabbix get is a very helpful debugging tool by acting like a Zabbix proxy towards Zabbix agents for passive checks. It saves a lot of time as there is no need to wait for configuration synchronization to take place.

It is desirable to be able to issue Zabbix proxy like requests towards a Zabbix Java gateway too. Especially because mistakes are more likely due to the more complex nature of JMX item key definitions.

Before ZBX-11528 it was already possible to make requests towards Zabbix Java gateway via Zabbix get.

Now, as fixing ZBX-11528 is correct and should not be reverted, it would be great if Zabbix get gets extended to also support this kind of requests in a decent way.

as discussed, it might be better/easier to extend/fork sender.pl from the svn repo for this task

Try this small script. Not even Perl

P.S. Probably the most complicated bash script I've ever written (aka composed from examples in the net).

Hopefully, new version fixes problems with double quote escaping.

Updated https://zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/howto/zabbix_get_jmx with get.sh and a bit of sarcasm.

Credits to okkuv9xh for patient testing of the script!

Quite a shell script... ... Doesn't support authentication, though.

Comment by Anant Saraswat [ 2018 Apr 11 ]

Zabbix has changed the JMX item protocol so the old script doesn't work with Zabbix 3.4.7 or higher version. ( https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/installation/upgrade_notes_340#jmx_item_protocol_changes )

I have attached the script as per latest Zabbix version.

I've updated zabbix_get_jmx_3.4.7.sh, to work with any type of endpoint, username and password. See zabbix_get_jmx_4_2.sh attached to this issue. Hope this will be useful to someone.
