17 zabbix_agentd is a daemon for monitoring of various server parameters.
18
20 -c, --config config-file
21 Use the alternate config-file instead of the default one. Abso‐
22 lute path should be specified.
23
24 -f, --foreground
25 Run Zabbix agent in foreground.
26
27 -R, --runtime-control runtime-option
28 Perform administrative functions according to runtime-option.
29
30 Runtime control options
31 log_level_increase[=target]
32 Increase log level, affects all processes if target is not
33 specified
34
35 log_level_decrease[=target]
36 Decrease log level, affects all processes if target is not
37 specified
38
39 Log level control targets
40 process-type
41 All processes of specified type (e.g., listener)
42
43 process-type,N
44 Process type and number (e.g., listener,3)
45
46 pid Process identifier, up to 65535. For larger values specify
47 target as "process-type,N"
48
49 -p, --print
50 Print known items and exit. For each item either generic
51 defaults are used, or specific defaults for testing are sup‐
52 plied. These defaults are listed in square brackets as item key
53 parameters. Returned values are enclosed in square brackets and
54 prefixed with the type of the returned value, separated by a
55 pipe character. For user parameters type is always t, as the
56 agent can not determine all possible return values. Items, dis‐
57 played as working, are not guaranteed to work from the Zabbix
58 server or zabbix_get when querying a running agent daemon as
59 permissions or environment may be different. Returned value
60 types are:
61
62 d Number with a decimal part.
63
64 m Not supported. This could be caused by querying an item that
65 only works in the active mode like a log monitoring item or an
66 item that requires multiple collected values. Permission
67 issues or incorrect user parameters could also result in the
68 not supported state.
69
70 s Text. Maximum length not limited.
71
72 t Text. Same as s.
73
74 u Unsigned integer.
75
76 -t, --test item-key
77 Test single item and exit. See --print for output description.
78
79 -h, --help
80 Display this help and exit.
81
82 -V, --version
83 Output version information and exit.
