.SH DESCRIPTION
.B zabbix_sender
is a command line utility for sending monitoring data to Zabbix server or proxy.
On the Zabbix server an item of type \fBZabbix trapper\fR should be created with corresponding key.
Note that incoming values will only be accepted from hosts specified in \fBAllowed hosts\fR field for this item.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-config\fR \fIconfig\-file\fR"
Use \fIconfig\-file\fR.
\fBZabbix sender\fR reads server details from the agentd configuration file.
By default
.B Zabbix sender
does not read any configuration file.
Only parameters \fBHostname\fR, \fBServerActive\fR, \fBSourceIP\fR, \fBTLSConnect\fR, \fBTLSCAFile\fR, \fBTLSCRLFile\fR,
\fBTLSServerCertIssuer\fR, \fBTLSServerCertSubject\fR, \fBTLSCertFile\fR, \fBTLSKeyFile\fR, \fBTLSPSKIdentity\fR and \fBTLSPSKFile\fR are supported.
Hostname defined through \fBHostnameItem\fR parameter will not be picked up, in this case the hostname should be specified via command line (see -s option).
All addresses defined in the agent \fBServerActive\fR configuration parameter are used for sending data.
If sending of batch data fails to one address, the following batches are not sent to this address.
.IP "\fB\-z\fR, \fB\-\-zabbix\-server\fR \fIserver\fR"
Hostname or IP address of Zabbix server.
If a host is monitored by a proxy, proxy hostname or IP address should be used instead.
When used together with \fB\-\-config\fR, overrides the entries of \fBServerActive\fR parameter specified in agentd configuration file.
.IP "\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-port\fR \fIport\fR"
Specify port number of Zabbix server trapper running on the server.
Default is 10051.
When used together with \fB\-\-config\fR, overrides the port entries of \fBServerActive\fR parameter specified in agentd configuration file.
.IP "\fB\-I\fR, \fB\-\-source\-address\fR \fIIP\-address\fR"
Specify source IP address.
When used together with \fB\-\-config\fR, overrides \fBSourceIP\fR parameter specified in agentd configuration file.
.IP "\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-timeout\fR \fIseconds\fR"
Specify timeout. Valid range: 1\-300 seconds (default: 60)
.IP "\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-host\fR \fIhost\fR"
Specify host name the item belongs to (as registered in Zabbix frontend).
Host IP address and DNS name will not work.
When used together with \fB\-\-config\fR, overrides \fBHostname\fR parameter specified in agentd configuration file.
.IP "\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-key\fR \fIkey\fR"
Specify item key to send value to.
.IP "\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-value\fR \fIvalue\fR"
Specify item value.
.IP "\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-input\-file\fR \fIinput\-file\fR"
Load values from input file.
Specify \fB\-\fR as \fB<input-file>\fR to read values from standard input.
Each line of file contains whitespace delimited: \fB<hostname> <key> <value>\fR.
Each value must be specified on its own line. Each line must contain 3 whitespace delimited entries:
\fB<hostname> <key> <value>\fR, where "hostname" is the name of monitored host as registered in Zabbix frontend,
"key" is target item key and "value" \- the value to send. Specify \fB-\fR as \fB<hostname>\fR to use hostname from
agent configuration file or from \fB\-\-host\fR argument.
An example of a line of an input file:
\fB "Linux DB3" db.connections 43\fR
The value type must be correctly set in item configuration of Zabbix frontend.
Zabbix sender will send up to 250 values in one connection.
Contents of the input file must be in the UTF\-8 encoding.
All values from the input file are sent in a sequential order top\-down.
Entries must be formatted using the following rules:
.RS
.RS
.IP \[bu] 2
Quoted and non-quoted entries are supported.
.IP \[bu]
Double-quote is the quoting character.
.IP \[bu]
Entries with whitespace must be quoted.
.IP \[bu]
Double-quote and backslash characters inside quoted entry must be escaped with a backslash.
.IP \[bu]
Escaping is not supported in non-quoted entries.
.IP \[bu]
Linefeed escape sequences (\\n) are supported in quoted strings.
.IP \[bu]
Linefeed escape sequences are trimmed from the end of an entry.

.IP "\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-with\-timestamps\fR"
This option can be only used with \fB\-\-input\-file\fR option.
Each line of the input file must contain 4 whitespace delimited entries: \fB<hostname> <key> <timestamp> <value>\fR.
Timestamp should be specified in Unix timestamp format.
If target item has triggers referencing it, all timestamps must be in an increasing order, otherwise event calculation will not be correct.
An example of a line of the input file:
\fB "Linux DB3" db.connections 1429533600 43\fR
For more details please see option \fB\-\-input\-file\fR.
If a timestamped value is sent for a host that is in a “no data” maintenance type then this value will be dropped; however, it is possible to send a timestamped value in for an expired maintenance period and it will be accepted.
.IP "\fB\-N\fR, \fB\-\-with\-ns\fR"
This option can be only used with \fB\-\-with\-timestamps\fR option.
Each line of the input file must contain 5 whitespace delimited entries: \fB<hostname> <key> <timestamp> <ns> <value>\fR.
An example of a line of the input file:
\fB "Linux DB3" db.connections 1429533600 7402561 43\fR
For more details please see option \fB\-\-input\-file\fR.
.IP "\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-real\-time\fR"
Send values one by one as soon as they are received.
This can be used when reading from standard input.
.IP "\fB\-\-tls\-connect\fR \fIvalue\fR"
How to connect to server or proxy. Values:\fR
