OPTIONS

20       -c, --config config-file
21              Use the alternate config-file instead of the default one.
22
23       -f, --foreground
24              Run Zabbix agent in foreground.
25
26       -R, --runtime-control runtime-option
27              Perform administrative functions according to runtime-option.
28
29           Runtime control options
30               log_level_increase[=target]
31                   Increase  log level, affects all processes if target is not
32                   specified
33
34               log_level_decrease[=target]
35                   Decrease log level, affects all processes if target is  not
36                   specified
37
38           Log level control targets
39               process-type
40                   All  processes of specified type (active checks, collector,
41                   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.
