DESCRIPTION
zabbix_get is a command line utility for getting data from Zabbix agent.

OPTIONS

-s, --host host-name-or-IP
    Specify host name or IP address of a host.

-p, --port port-number
    Specify port number of agent running on the host. Default is 10050.

-I, --source-address IP-address
    Specify source IP address.

-t, --timeout seconds
    Specify timeout. Valid range: 1-600 seconds (default: 30)

-k, --key item-key
    Specify key of item to retrieve value for.

-P, --protocol value
    Protocol used to communicate with agent. Values:

  auto
connect using JSON protocol, fallback and retry with plaintext protocol (default)

    json
        connect using JSON protocol

    plaintext
        connect using plaintext protocol where just item key is sent (6.4.x and older releases)

--tls-connect value
    How to connect to agent. Values:

  unencrypted
connect without encryption (default)

    psk connect using TLS and a pre-shared key

    cert
        connect using TLS and a certificate

--tls-ca-file CA-file
    Full pathname of a file containing the top-level CA(s) certificates for peer certificate verification.

--tls-crl-file CRL-file
    Full pathname of a file containing revoked certificates.

--tls-agent-cert-issuer cert-issuer
    Allowed agent certificate issuer.

--tls-agent-cert-subject cert-subject
    Allowed agent certificate subject.

--tls-cert-file cert-file
    Full pathname of a file containing the certificate or certificate chain.

--tls-key-file key-file
    Full pathname of a file containing the private key.

--tls-psk-identity PSK-identity
    PSK-identity string.

--tls-psk-file PSK-file
    Full pathname of a file containing the pre-shared key.

--tls-cipher13 cipher-string
    Cipher string for OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer for TLS 1.3. Override the default ciphersuite selection criteria. This option is not available if OpenSSL version is less than 1.1.1.

--tls-cipher cipher-string
    GnuTLS priority string (for TLS 1.2 and up) or OpenSSL cipher string (only for TLS 1.2). Override the default ciphersuite selection criteria.

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

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

EXIT STATUS
The exit status is 0 if zabbix_get successfully retrieves a value from the Zabbix agent. If value retrieval failed, the exit status is 1.
