Description |
The zabbix agent native interface provides information whether the key is being supported or not outputting ZBX_NOTSUPOPRTED string to the zabbix server, which then reacts to the information and temporarily disables the key check for that particular host. This funcionality does not seem to be implemented for external checks - keys calling external scripts in externalscripts directory. This is a very nice to have feature. We do have Oracle, Weblogic and LUSTRE fs monitoring implemented in Zabbix, however we would really appreciate to have this feature enabled in zabbix server. |

As a workaround, you can make the script output nothing - in that case the external check will be treated as not supported. |

Great indeed! There is a secion in Zabbix documentation thought, that script should NEVER output nothing. This might be changed as this is a very important information In my case this solves the issue, however ZBX_UNSUPPORTED output recognition would be a benefit in zabbix monitoring infrastructure consistency. Thanks for a great work! |

I believe it should be documented and closed. |

for the record, external checks and userparams now may return empty values so this workaround probably will not help anymore |
