NAME

       Zabbix::Utils -- Useful miscellanea related to Zabbix

DESCRIPTION

       This is a collection of miscellaneous things useful to have in the event that you're doing
       something with the Zabbix::API distribution.

FUNCTIONS

       None so far.

EXPORTS

       None by default.

   EXPORTABLE
       RE_FORMULA
           This constant (in the "use constant" sense) is a regular expression that will match
           against parts of formulas of calculated items thusly:

             use Zabbix::Utils qw/RE_FORMULA/;

             # interpolating constants is problematic
             my $regexp = RE_FORMULA;

             my $formula = 'last("MyROuter2:ifHCInOctets5")+last("MyROuter2:ifHCInOctets23")';

             while ($formula =~ m/$regexp/g) {

                 print Dumper(\%+);

             }

           Which should output:

             $VAR1 = {
                       'function_call' => 'last("MyROuter2:ifHCInOctets5")',
                       'function_args_quote' => '"',
                       'item' => 'ifHCInOctets5',
                       'function_args' => 'MyROuter2:ifHCInOctets5',
                       'host' => 'MyROuter2'
                     };
             $VAR1 = {
                       'function_call' => 'last("MyROuter2:ifHCInOctets23")',
                       'function_args_quote' => '"',
                       'item' => 'ifHCInOctets23',
                       'function_args' => 'MyROuter2:ifHCInOctets23',
                       'host' => 'MyROuter2'
                     };

           Item arguments (system.uptime[minutes]) appear in "item_arg" which is not represented
           here (fixme!).

           You'll have noticed that this makes use of the excellent "named capture buffers"
           feature, which means you need Perl 5.10 or higher.
