1 Zabbix agent

Overview

These checks use the communication with Zabbix agent for data gathering.

There are passive and active agent checks. When configuring an item, you can select the required type:

Zabbix agent - for passive checks
Zabbix agent (active) - for active checks

Supported item keys

The table provides details on the item keys that you can use with Zabbix agent items.

See also:

Mandatory and optional parameters

Parameters without angle brackets are mandatory. Parameters marked with angle brackets < > are optional.

Usage with command-line utilities

Note that when testing or using item keys with zabbix_agentd or zabbix_get from the command line you should consider shell syntax too.

For example, if a certain parameter of the key has to be enclosed in double quotes you have to explicitly escape double quotes, otherwise they will be trimmed by the shell as special characters and will not be passed to the Zabbix utility.

Examples:

$ zabbix_agentd -t 'vfs.dir.count[/var/log,,,"file,dir",,0]'
       
       $ zabbix_agentd -t vfs.dir.count[/var/log,,,\"file,dir\",,0]

Key
	Description	Return value	Parameters	Comments
agent.hostname
	Agent host name.	String		Returns the actual value of the agent hostname from a configuration file.
agent.ping
	Agent availability check.	Nothing - unavailable 1 - available		Use the nodata() trigger function to check for host unavailability.
agent.variant
	Variant of Zabbix agent (Zabbix agent or Zabbix agent 2).	Integer		Example of returned value: 1 - Zabbix agent 2 - Zabbix agent 2 Supported since Zabbix 5.0.18.
agent.version
	Version of Zabbix agent.	String		Example of returned value: 1.8.2
kernel.maxfiles
	Maximum number of opened files supported by OS.	Integer
kernel.maxproc
	Maximum number of processes supported by OS.	Integer
log[file,<regexp>,<encoding>,<maxlines>,<mode>,<output>,<maxdelay>,<options>,<persistent_dir>]
	Log file monitoring.	Log	file - full path and name of log file regexp - regular expression⁴ describing the required pattern encoding - code page identifier maxlines - maximum number of new lines per second the agent will send to Zabbix server or proxy. This parameter overrides the value of 'MaxLinesPerSecond' in zabbix_agentd.conf mode (since version 2.0) - possible values: all (default), skip - skip processing of older data (affects only newly created items). output (since version 2.2) - an optional output formatting template. The \0 escape sequence is replaced with the matched part of text (from the first character where match begins until the character where match ends) while an \N (where N=1...9) escape sequence is replaced with Nth matched group (or an empty string if the N exceeds the number of captured groups). maxdelay (since version 3.2) - maximum delay in seconds. Type: float. Values: 0 - (default) never ignore log file lines; > 0.0 - ignore older lines in order to get the most recent lines analyzed within "maxdelay" seconds. Read the maxdelay notes before using it! options (since version 4.4.7) - additional options: mtime-noreread - non-unique records, reread only if the file size changes (ignore modification time change). (This parameter is deprecated since 5.0.2, because now mtime is ignored. Before 5.0.2 the file would be reread by default if either the modification time or file size changed.) persistent_dir (since version 5.0.18, only in zabbix_agentd on Unix systems; not supported in Agent2) - absolute pathname of directory where to store persistent files. See also additional notes on persistent files.	The item must be configured as an active check. If file is missing or permissions do not allow access, item turns unsupported. If `output` is left empty - the whole line containing the matched text is returned. Note that all global regular expression types except 'Result is TRUE' always return the whole matched line and the `output` parameter is ignored. Content extraction using the `output` parameter takes place on the agent. Examples: => log[/var/log/syslog] => log[/var/log/syslog,error] => log[/home/zabbix/logs/logfile,,,100] Using `output` parameter for extracting a number from log record: => log[/app1/app.log,"task run [0-9.]+ sec, processed ([0-9]+) records, [0-9]+ errors",,,,\1] → will match a log record "2015-11-13 10:08:26 task run 6.08 sec, processed 6080 records, 0 errors" and send only '6080' to server. Because a numeric value is being sent, the "Type of information" for this item can be set to "Numeric (unsigned)" and the value can be used in graphs, triggers etc. Using `output` parameter for rewriting log record before sending to server: => log[/app1/app.log,"([0-9 :-]+) task run ([0-9.]+) sec, processed ([0-9]+) records, ([0-9]+) errors",,,,"\1 RECORDS: \3, ERRORS: \4, DURATION: \2"] → will match a log record "2015-11-13 10:08:26 task run 6.08 sec, processed 6080 records, 0 errors" and send a modified record "2015-11-13 10:08:26 RECORDS: 6080, ERRORS: 0, DURATION: 6.08" to server. See also additional information on log monitoring.
log.count[file,<regexp>,<encoding>,<maxproclines>,<mode>,<maxdelay>,<options>,<persistent_dir>]
	Count of matched lines in log file monitoring.	Integer	file - full path and name of log file regexp - regular expression⁴ describing the required pattern encoding - code page identifier maxproclines - maximum number of new lines per second the agent will analyze (cannot exceed 10000). Default value is 10'MaxLinesPerSecond' in zabbix_agentd.conf. mode* - possible values: all (default), skip - skip processing of older data (affects only newly created items). maxdelay - maximum delay in seconds. Type: float. Values: 0 - (default) never ignore log file lines; > 0.0 - ignore older lines in order to get the most recent lines analyzed within "maxdelay" seconds. Read the maxdelay notes before using it! options (since Zabbix 4.4.7) - additional options: mtime-noreread - non-unique records, reread only if the file size changes (ignore modification time change). (This parameter is deprecated since 5.0.2, because now mtime is ignored. Before 5.0.2 the file would be reread by default if either the modification time or file size changed.) persistent_dir (since version 5.0.18, only in zabbix_agentd on Unix systems; not supported in Agent2) - absolute pathname of directory where to store persistent files. See also additional notes on persistent files.	The item must be configured as an active check. Matching lines are counted in the new lines since the last log check by the agent, and thus depend on the item update interval. If the file is missing or permissions do not allow access, item turns unsupported. See also additional information on log monitoring. This item is not supported for Windows Event Log. Supported since Zabbix 3.2.0.
logrt[file_regexp,<regexp>,<encoding>,<maxlines>,<mode>,<output>,<maxdelay>,<options>,<persistent_dir>]
	Log file monitoring with log rotation support.	Log	file_regexp - absolute path to file, with the file name specified using a regular expression⁴. Note that the regular expression applies only to the file name and does not need to match the entire name (e.g., /path/to/agent will match zabbix_agentd.log) regexp - regular expression⁴ describing the required content pattern encoding - code page identifier maxlines - maximum number of new lines per second the agent will send to Zabbix server or proxy. This parameter overrides the value of 'MaxLinesPerSecond' in zabbix_agentd.conf mode (since version 2.0) - possible values: all (default), skip - skip processing of older data (affects only newly created items). output (since version 2.2) - an optional output formatting template. The \0 escape sequence is replaced with the matched part of text (from the first character where match begins until the character where match ends) while an \N (where N=1...9) escape sequence is replaced with Nth matched group (or an empty string if the N exceeds the number of captured groups). maxdelay (since version 3.2)- maximum delay in seconds. Type: float. Values: 0 - (default) never ignore log file lines; > 0.0 - ignore older lines in order to get the most recent lines analyzed within "maxdelay" seconds. Read the maxdelay notes before using it! options (since version 4.0; mtime-reread, mtime-noreread options since 4.4.7) - type of log file rotation and other options. Possible values: rotate (default), copytruncate - note that copytruncate cannot be used together with maxdelay. In this case maxdelay must be 0 or not specified; see copytruncate notes, mtime-reread - non-unique records, reread if modification time or size changes (default), mtime-noreread - non-unique records, reread only if the size changes (ignore modification time change). persistent_dir (since version 5.0.18, only in zabbix_agentd on Unix systems; not supported in Agent2) - absolute pathname of directory where to store persistent files. See also additional notes on persistent files.	The item must be configured as an active check. Log rotation is based on the last modification time of files. Note that logrt is designed to work with one currently active log file, with several other matching inactive files rotated. If, for example, a directory has many active log files, a separate logrt item should be created for each one. Otherwise if one logrt item picks up too many files it may lead to exhausted memory and a crash of monitoring. If `output` is left empty - the whole line containing the matched text is returned. Note that all global regular expression types except 'Result is TRUE' always return the whole matched line and the `output` parameter is ignored. Content extraction using the `output` parameter takes place on the agent. Examples: => logrt["/home/zabbix/logs/^logfile[0-9]{1,3}$",,,100] → will match a file like "logfile1" (will not match ".logfile1") => logrt["/home/user/^logfile_._[0-9]{1,3}$","pattern_to_match","UTF-8",100] → will collect data from files such "logfile_abc_1" or "logfile__001". Using `output` parameter for extracting a number from log record:* => logrt[/app1/^test.log$,"task run [0-9.]+ sec, processed ([0-9]+) records, [0-9]+ errors",,,,\1] → will match a log record "2015-11-13 10:08:26 task run 6.08 sec, processed 6080 records, 0 errors" and send only '6080' to server. Because a numeric value is being sent, the "Type of information" for this item can be set to "Numeric (unsigned)" and the value can be used in graphs, triggers etc. Using `output` parameter for rewriting log record before sending to server:* => logrt[/app1/^test.*log$,"([0-9 :-]+) task run ([0-9.]+) sec, processed ([0-9]+) records, ([0-9]+) errors",,,,"\1 RECORDS: \3, ERRORS: \4, DURATION: \2"] → will match a log record "2015-11-13 10:08:26 task run 6.08 sec, processed 6080 records, 0 errors" and send a modified record "2015-11-13 10:08:26 RECORDS: 6080, ERRORS: 0, DURATION: 6.08" to server. See also additional information on log monitoring.
logrt.count[file_regexp,<regexp>,<encoding>,<maxproclines>,<mode>,<maxdelay>,<options>,<persistent_dir>]
	Count of matched lines in log file monitoring with log rotation support.	Integer	file_regexp - absolute path to file, with the file name specified using a regular expression⁴. Note that the regular expression applies only to the file name and does not need to match the entire name (e.g., /path/to/agent will match zabbix_agentd.log) regexp - regular expression⁴ describing the required content pattern encoding - code page identifier maxproclines - maximum number of new lines per second the agent will analyze (cannot exceed 10000). Default value is 10'MaxLinesPerSecond' in zabbix_agentd.conf. mode* - possible values: all (default), skip - skip processing of older data (affects only newly created items). maxdelay - maximum delay in seconds. Type: float. Values: 0 - (default) never ignore log file lines; > 0.0 - ignore older lines in order to get the most recent lines analyzed within "maxdelay" seconds. Read the maxdelay notes before using it! options (since version 4.0; mtime-reread, mtime-noreread options since 4.4.7)- type of log file rotation and other options. Possible values: rotate (default), copytruncate - note that copytruncate cannot be used together with maxdelay. In this case maxdelay must be 0 or not specified; see copytruncate notes, mtime-reread - non-unique records, reread if modification time or size changes (default), mtime-noreread - non-unique records, reread only if the size changes (ignore modification time change). persistent_dir (since version 5.0.18, only in zabbix_agentd on Unix systems; not supported in Agent2) - absolute pathname of directory where to store persistent files. See also additional notes on persistent files.	The item must be configured as an active check. Matching lines are counted in the new lines since the last log check by the agent, and thus depend on the item update interval. Log rotation is based on the last modification time of files. See also additional information on log monitoring. This item is not supported for Windows Event Log. Supported since Zabbix 3.2.0.

If 64-bit counters are not available, the agent uses 32-bit counters. Multi-byte interface names on Windows are supported. The network interface GUID as the first parameter on Windows is supported since Zabbix 5.0.16. Examples: => net.if.in[eth0,errors] => net.if.in[eth0] You may obtain network interface descriptions on Windows with net.if.discovery or net.if.list items. You may use this key with the Change per second preprocessing step in order to get bytes per second statistics.

Note that dropped packets are supported only if both net.if.in and net.if.out work for dropped packets on your platform.
net.tcp.listen[port]
	Checks if this TCP port is in LISTEN state.	0 - it is not in LISTEN state 1 - it is in LISTEN state	port - TCP port number	Example: => net.tcp.listen[80] On Linux supported since Zabbix agent version 1.8.4 Since Zabbix 3.0.0, on Linux kernels 2.6.14 and above, information about listening TCP sockets is obtained from the kernel's NETLINK interface, if possible. Otherwise, the information is retrieved from /proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 files.
net.tcp.port[<ip>,port]
	Checks if it is possible to make TCP connection to specified port.	0 - cannot connect 1 - can connect	ip - IP or DNS name (default is 127.0.0.1) port - port number	Example: => net.tcp.port[,80] → can be used to test availability of web server running on port 80. For simple TCP performance testing use net.tcp.service.perf[tcp,<ip>,<port>] Note that these checks may result in additional messages in system daemon logfiles (SMTP and SSH sessions being logged usually). Old naming: check_port[]*

Note that these checks may result in additional messages in system daemon logfiles (SMTP and SSH sessions being logged usually). Checking of encrypted protocols (like IMAP on port 993 or POP on port 995) is currently not supported. As a workaround, please use net.tcp.port for checks like these. Checking of LDAP and HTTPS on Windows is only supported by Zabbix agent 2 (since Zabbix 5.0.3). Note that the telnet check looks for a login prompt (':' at the end). See also known issues of checking HTTPS service. https and telnet services are supported since Zabbix 2.0. Old naming: check_service[]*
net.tcp.service.perf[service,<ip>,<port>]
	Checks performance of TCP service.	0 - service is down seconds - the number of seconds spent while connecting to the service	service - either of: ssh, ldap, smtp, ftp, http, pop, nntp, imap, tcp, https, telnet (see details) ip - IP address (default is 127.0.0.1) port - port number (by default standard service port number is used)	Example: => net.tcp.service.perf[ssh] → can be used to test the speed of initial response from SSH server. Checking of encrypted protocols (like IMAP on port 993 or POP on port 995) is currently not supported. As a workaround, please use net.tcp.service.perf[tcp,<ip>,<port>] for checks like these. Checking of LDAP and HTTPS on Windows is only supported by Zabbix agent 2 (since Zabbix 5.0.3). Note that the telnet check looks for a login prompt (':' at the end). See also known issues of checking HTTPS service. https and telnet services are supported since Zabbix 2.0. Old naming: check_service_perf[]*

proc.cpu.util[<name>,<user>,<type>,<cmdline>,<mode>,<zone>]
	Process CPU utilization percentage.	Float	name - process name (default is all processes) user - user name (default is all users) type - CPU utilization type: total (default), user, system cmdline - filter by command line (it is a regular expression⁴) mode - data gathering mode: avg1 (default), avg5, avg15 zone - target zone: current (default), all. This parameter is supported on Solaris only.	Examples: => proc.cpu.util[,root] → CPU utilization of all processes running under the "root" user => proc.cpu.util[zabbix_server,zabbix] → CPU utilization of all zabbix_server processes running under the zabbix user The returned value is based on single CPU core utilization percentage. For example CPU utilization of a process fully using two cores is 200%. The process CPU utilization data is gathered by a collector which supports the maximum of 1024 unique (by name, user and command line) queries. Queries not accessed during the last 24 hours are removed from the collector. Note that when setting the `zone` parameter to current (or default) in case the agent has been compiled on a Solaris without zone support, but running on a newer Solaris where zones are supported, then the agent will return NOTSUPPORTED (the agent cannot limit results to only the current zone). However, all is supported in this case. This key is supported since Zabbix 3.0.0 and is available on several platforms (see Items supported by platform).
proc.mem[<name>,<user>,<mode>,<cmdline>,<memtype>]
	Memory used by process in bytes.	Integer - with `mode` as max, min, sum Float - with `mode` as avg	name - process name (default is all processes) user - user name (default is all users) mode - possible values: avg, max, min, sum (default) cmdline - filter by command line (it is a regular expression⁴) memtype - type of memory used by process	Examples: => proc.mem[,root] → memory used by all processes running under the "root" user => proc.mem[zabbix_server,zabbix] → memory used by all zabbix_server processes running under the zabbix user => proc.mem[,oracle,max,oracleZABBIX] → memory used by the most memory-hungry process running under oracle having oracleZABBIX in its command line Note: When several processes use shared memory, the sum of memory used by processes may result in large, unrealistic values. See notes on selecting processes with `name` and `cmdline` parameters (Linux-specific). When this item is invoked from the command line and contains a command line parameter (e.g. using the agent test mode: `zabbix_agentd -t proc.mem[,,,apache2]`), one extra process will be counted, as the agent will count itself. The `memtype` parameter is supported on several platforms since Zabbix 3.0.0.
proc.num[<name>,<user>,<state>,<cmdline>,<zone>]
	The number of processes.	Integer	name - process name (default is all processes) user - user name (default is all users) state (disk and trace options since version 3.4.0) - possible values: all (default), disk - uninterruptible sleep, run - running, sleep - interruptible sleep, trace - stopped, zomb - zombie cmdline - filter by command line (it is a regular expression⁴) zone - target zone: current (default), all. This parameter is supported on Solaris only.	Examples: => proc.num[,mysql] → number of processes running under the mysql user => proc.num[apache2,www-data] → number of apache2 processes running under the www-data user => proc.num[,oracle,sleep,oracleZABBIX] → number of processes in sleep state running under oracle having oracleZABBIX in its command line See notes on selecting processes with `name` and `cmdline` parameters (Linux-specific). On Windows, only the `name` and `user` parameters are supported. When this item is invoked from the command line and contains a command line parameter (e.g. using the agent test mode: `zabbix_agentd -t proc.num[,,,apache2]`), one extra process will be counted, as the agent will count itself. Note that when setting the `zone` parameter to current (or default) in case the agent has been compiled on a Solaris without zone support, but running on a newer Solaris where zones are supported, then the agent will return NOTSUPPORTED (the agent cannot limit results to only the current zone). However, all is supported in this case.
sensor[device,sensor,<mode>]
	Hardware sensor reading.	Float	device - device name sensor - sensor name mode - possible values: avg, max, min (if this parameter is omitted, device and sensor are treated verbatim).	Reads /proc/sys/dev/sensors on Linux 2.4. Example: => sensor[w83781d-i2c-0-2d,temp1] Prior to Zabbix 1.8.4, the sensor[temp1] format was used.
				Reads /sys/class/hwmon on Linux 2.6+. See a more detailed description of sensor item on Linux.
				Reads the hw.sensors MIB on OpenBSD. Examples: => sensor[cpu0,temp0] → temperature of one CPU => sensor["cpu[0-2]$",temp,avg] → average temperature of the first three CPU's Supported on OpenBSD since Zabbix 1.8.4.

system.swap.in[<device>,<type>]
	Swap in (from device into memory) statistics.	Integer	device - device used for swapping (default is all) type - possible values: count (number of swapins), sectors (sectors swapped in), pages (pages swapped in). See also platform-specific details for this parameter.

Example: => system.swap.size[,pfree] → free swap space percentage If device is not specified Zabbix agent will only take into account swap devices (files), physical memory will be ignored. For example, on Solaris systems swap -s command includes a portion of physical memory and swap devices (unlike swap -l). Note that this key might report incorrect swap space size/percentage on virtualized (VMware ESXi, VirtualBox) Windows platforms. In this case you may use the `perf_counter[\700(_Total)\702]` key to obtain correct swap space percentage. Old naming: system.swap.free, system.swap.total
system.uname
	Identification of the system.	String		Example of returned value (Unix): FreeBSD localhost 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov i386 Example of returned value (Windows): Windows ZABBIX-WIN 6.0.6001 Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 Standard Service Pack 1 x86 On Unix since Zabbix 2.2.0 the value for this item is obtained with uname() system call. Previously it was obtained by invoking "uname -a". The value of this item might differ from the output of "uname -a" and does not include additional information that "uname -a" prints based on other sources. On Windows since Zabbix 3.0 the value for this item is obtained from Win32_OperatingSystem and Win32_Processor WMI classes. Previously it was obtained from volatile Windows APIs and undocumented registry keys. The OS name (including edition) might be translated to the user's display language. On some versions of Windows it contains trademark symbols and extra spaces. Note that on Windows the item returns OS architecture, whereas on Unix it returns CPU architecture.
system.uptime

See platform-specific details. sps, ops, bps stand for: sectors, operations, bytes per second, respectively. mode - possible values: avg1 (one-minute average, default), avg5, avg15. This parameter is supported only with `type` in: sps, ops, bps.	You may use relative device names (for example, `sda`) as well as an optional /dev/ prefix (for example, `/dev/sda`). LVM logical volumes are supported. Default values of 'type' parameter for different OSes: AIX - operations FreeBSD - bps Linux - sps OpenBSD - operations Solaris - bytes Example: => vfs.dev.read[,operations] sps, ops and bps on supported platforms used to be limited to 8 devices (7 individual and one all).

vfs.dev.write[<device>,<type>,<mode>]
	Disk write statistics.	Integer - with `type` in sectors, operations, bytes Float - with `type` in sps, ops, bps Note: if using an update interval of three hours or more², will always return '0'	device - disk device (default is all ³) type - possible values: sectors, operations, bytes, sps, ops, bps Note that 'type' parameter support and defaults depend on the platform. See platform-specific details. sps, ops, bps stand for: sectors, operations, bytes per second, respectively. mode - possible values: avg1 (one-minute average, default), avg5, avg15. This parameter is supported only with `type` in: sps, ops, bps.	You may use relative device names (for example, `sda`) as well as an optional /dev/ prefix (for example, `/dev/sda`). LVM logical volumes are supported.

vfs.dir.count[dir,<regex_incl>,<regex_excl>,<types_incl>,<types_excl>,<max_depth>,<min_size>,<max_size>,<min_age>,<max_age>,<regex_excl_dir>]
	Directory entry count.	Integer	dir - absolute path to directory regex_incl - regular expression describing the name pattern of the entity (file, directory, symbolic link) to include; include all if empty (default value) regex_excl - regular expression describing the name pattern of the entity (file, directory, symbolic link) to exclude; don't exclude any if empty (default value) types_incl - directory entry types to count, possible values: file - regular file, dir - subdirectory, sym - symbolic link, sock - socket, bdev - block device, cdev - character device, fifo - FIFO, dev - synonymous with "bdev,cdev", all - all types (default), i.e. "file,dir,sym,sock,bdev,cdev,fifo". Multiple types must be separated with comma and quoted. types_excl - directory entry types (see <types_incl>) to NOT count. If some entry type is in both <types_incl> and <types_excl>, directory entries of this type are NOT counted. max_depth - maximum depth of subdirectories to traverse. -1 (default) - unlimited, 0 - no descending into subdirectories. min_size - minimum size (in bytes) for file to be counted. Smaller files will not be counted. Memory suffixes can be used. max_size - maximum size (in bytes) for file to be counted. Larger files will not be counted. Memory suffixes can be used. min_age - minimum age (in seconds) of directory entry to be counted. More recent entries will not be counted. Time suffixes can be used. max_age - maximum age (in seconds) of directory entry to be counted. Entries so old and older will not be counted (modification time). Time suffixes can be used. regex_excl_dir - regular expression describing the name pattern of the directory to exclude. All content of the directory will be excluded (in contrast to regex_excl)	Environment variables, e.g. %APP_HOME%, $HOME and %TEMP% are not supported. Pseudo-directories "." and ".." are never counted. Symbolic links are never followed for directory traversal. On Windows, directory symlinks are skipped. Both `regex_incl` and `regex_excl` are being applied to files and directories when calculating entry size, but are ignored when picking subdirectories to traverse (if regex_incl is “(?i)^.+\.zip$” and max_depth is not set, then all subdirectories will be traversed, but only files of type zip will be counted). Execution time is limited by the default timeout value in agent configuration (3 sec). Since large directory traversal may take longer than that, no data will be returned and the item will turn unsupported. Partial count will not be returned. When filtering by size, only regular files have meaningful sizes. Under Linux and BSD, directories also have non-zero sizes (a few Kb typically). Devices have zero sizes, e.g. the size of /dev/sda1 does not reflect the respective partition size. Therefore, when using `<min_size>` and `<max_size>`, it is advisable to specify `<types_incl>` as "file", to avoid surprises. Examples: ⇒ vfs.dir.count[/dev] - monitors number of devices in /dev (Linux) ⇒ vfs.dir.count["C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp"] - monitors number of files in temporary directory (Windows) Supported since Zabbix 4.0.0.
vfs.dir.size[dir,<regex_incl>,<regex_excl>,<mode>,<max_depth>,<regex_excl_dir>]
	Directory size (in bytes).	Integer	dir - absolute path to directory regex_incl - regular expression describing the name pattern of the entity (file, directory, symbolic link) to include; include all if empty (default value) regex_excl - regular expression describing the name pattern of the entity (file, directory, symbolic link) to exclude; don't exclude any if empty (default value) mode - possible values: apparent (default) - gets apparent file sizes rather than disk usage (acts as `du -sb dir`), disk - gets disk usage (acts as `du -s -B1 dir`). Unlike du command, vfs.dir.size item takes hidden files in account when calculating directory size (acts as `du -sb .[^.]* ` within dir). max_depth* - maximum depth of subdirectories to traverse. -1 (default) - unlimited, 0 - no descending into subdirectories. regex_excl_dir - regular expression describing the name pattern of the directory to exclude. All content of the directory will be excluded (in contrast to regex_excl)	Only directories with at least read permission for zabbix user are calculated. On Windows any symlink is skipped and hard links are taken into account only once. With large directories or slow drives this item may time out due to the Timeout setting in agent and server/proxy configuration files. Increase the timeout values as necessary. Examples: ⇒ vfs.dir.size[/tmp,log] - calculates size of all files in /tmp which contain 'log' ⇒ vfs.dir.size[/tmp,log,^.+\.old$] - calculates size of all files in /tmp which contain 'log', excluding files containing '.old' The file size limit depends on large file support. Supported since Zabbix 3.4.0.

vfs.file.exists[file,<types_incl>,<types_excl>]
	Checks if file exists.	0 - not found 1 - file of the specified type exists	file - full path to file types_incl - list of file types to include, possible values: file (regular file, default (if types_excl is not set)), dir (directory), sym (symbolic link), sock (socket), bdev (block device), cdev (character device), fifo (FIFO), dev (synonymous with "bdev,cdev"), all (all mentioned types, default if types_excl is set). types_excl - list of file types to exclude, see types_incl for possible values (by default no types are excluded)	Multiple types must be separated with a comma and the entire set enclosed in quotes "". On Windows the double quotes have to be backslash '\' escaped and the whole item key enclosed in double quotes when using the command line utility for calling zabbix_get.exe or agent2. If the same type is in both <types_incl> and <types_excl>, files of this type are excluded. Examples: => vfs.file.exists[/tmp/application.pid] => vfs.file.exists[/tmp/application.pid,"file,dir,sym"] => vfs.file.exists[/tmp/application_dir,dir] The file size limit depends on large file support. The `types_incl`, `types_excl` parameters are supported since Zabbix 5.0.2. Note that the item may turn unsupported in Windows if a directory is searched within a non-existing directory, e.g. vfs.file.exists[C:\no\dir,dir] (where 'no' does not exist).

The \0 escape sequence is replaced with the matched part of text (from the first character where match begins until the character where match ends) while an \N (where N=1...9) escape sequence is replaced with Nth matched group (or an empty string if the N exceeds the number of captured groups).	Only the first matching line is returned. An empty string is returned if no line matched the expression. Byte order mark (BOM) is excluded from the output. Content extraction using the `output` parameter takes place on the agent. The `start line`, `end line` and `output` parameters are supported from version 2.2. Examples: => vfs.file.regexp[/etc/passwd,zabbix] => vfs.file.regexp[/path/to/some/file,"([0-9]+)$",,3,5,\1] => vfs.file.regexp[/etc/passwd,"^zabbix:.:([0-9]+)",,,,\1] → getting the ID of user zabbix

The `output` parameter is supported from version 2.2. Example: => web.page.regexp[www.example.com,index.php,80,OK,2] => web.page.regexp[https://www.example.com,,,OK,2]
zabbix.stats[<ip>,<port>]
	Return a set of Zabbix server or proxy internal metrics remotely.	JSON object	ip - IP/DNS/network mask list of servers/proxies to be remotely queried (default is 127.0.0.1) port - port of server/proxy to be remotely queried (default is 10051)	Note that the stats request will only be accepted from the addresses listed in the 'StatsAllowedIP' server/proxy parameter on the target instance. A selected set of internal metrics is returned by this item. For details, see Remote monitoring of Zabbix stats.
zabbix.stats[<ip>,<port>,queue,<from>,<to>]
	Return number of monitored items in the queue which are delayed on Zabbix server or proxy remotely.	JSON object	ip - IP/DNS/network mask list of servers/proxies to be remotely queried (default is 127.0.0.1) port - port of server/proxy to be remotely queried (default is 10051) queue - constant (to be used as is) from - delayed by at least (default is 6 seconds) to - delayed by at most (default is infinity)	Note that the stats request will only be accepted from the addresses listed in the 'StatsAllowedIP' server/proxy parameter on the target instance.

Footnotes

¹A Linux-specific note. Zabbix agent must have read-only access to filesystem /proc. Kernel patches from www.grsecurity.org limit access rights of non-privileged users.

² vfs.dev.read[], vfs.dev.write[]: Zabbix agent will terminate "stale" device connections if the item values are not accessed for more than 3 hours. This may happen if a system has devices with dynamically changing paths or if a device gets manually removed. Note also that these items, if using an update interval of 3 hours or more, will always return '0'.

³ vfs.dev.read[], vfs.dev.write[]: If default all is used for the first parameter then the key will return summary statistics, including all block devices like sda, sbd and their partitions (sda1, sda2, sdb3...) and multiple devices (MD raid) based on those block devices/partitions and logical volumes (LVM) based on those block devices/partitions. In such cases returned values should be considered only as relative value (dynamic in time) but not as absolute values.

⁴ Perl Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) since Zabbix 3.4; POSIX-extended regular expression before that. See also: Regular expressions supported by location.

⁵ SSL (HTTPS) is supported only if agent is compiled with cURL support. Otherwise the item will turn unsupported.

Encoding settings

To make sure that the acquired data are not corrupted you may specify the correct encoding for processing the check (e.g. 'vfs.file.contents') in the encoding parameter. The list of supported encodings (code page identifiers) may be found in documentation for libiconv (GNU Project) or in Microsoft Windows SDK documentation for "Code Page Identifiers".

If no encoding is specified in the encoding parameter the following resolution strategies are applied:

If encoding is not specified (or is an empty string) it is assumed to be UTF-8, the data is processed "as-is";
BOM analysis - applicable for items 'vfs.file.contents', 'vfs.file.regexp', 'vfs.file.regmatch'. An attempt is made to determine the correct encoding by using the byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file. If BOM is not present - standard resolution (see above) is applied instead.

Troubleshooting agent items

If used with the passive agent, Timeout value in server configuration may need to be higher than Timeout in the agent configuration file. Otherwise the item may not get any value because the server request to agent timed out first.
