DESCRIPTION

       zabbix_agentd is a daemon for monitoring of various server parameters.

OPTIONS

       -c, --config config-file
              Use the alternate config-file instead of the default one.  Absolute path should be specified.

       -f, --foreground
              Run Zabbix agent in foreground.

       -R, --runtime-control runtime-option
              Perform administrative functions according to runtime-option.

           Runtime control options
               log_level_increase[=target]
                   Increase log level, affects all processes if target is not specified

               log_level_decrease[=target]
                   Decrease log level, affects all processes if target is not specified

           Log level control targets
               pid Process identifier

               process-type
                   All processes of specified type (e.g., listener)

               process-type,N
                   Process type and number (e.g., listener,3)

       -p, --print
              Print  known items and exit.  For each item either generic defaults are used, or specific defaults
              for testing are supplied.  These defaults are listed in square brackets as  item  key  parameters.
              Returned  values are enclosed in square brackets and prefixed with the type of the returned value,
              separated by a pipe character.  For user parameters type  is  always  t,  as  the  agent  can  not
              determine  all  possible  return  values.  Items, displayed as working, are not guaranteed to work
              from the Zabbix server or zabbix_get when querying  a  running  agent  daemon  as  permissions  or
              environment may be different.  Returned value types are:

           d   Number with a decimal part.

           m   Not  supported.  This could be caused by querying an item that only works in the active mode like
               a log monitoring item or an item that requires multiple collected values.  Permission  issues  or
               incorrect user parameters could also result in the not supported state.

           s   Text.  Maximum length not limited.

           t   Text.  Same as s.

           u   Unsigned integer.

       -t, --test item-key
              Test single item and exit.  See --print for output description.

       -h, --help
              Display this help and exit.

       -V, --version
              Output version information and exit.

FILES

       /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
              Default location of Zabbix agent configuration file (if not modified during compile time).
