14 Zabbix sender dynamic link library for Windows
In a Windows environment applications can send data to Zabbix server/proxy directly by using the Zabbix sender dynamic link library (zabbix_sender.dll) instead of having to launch an external process (zabbix_sender.exe).
The dynamic link library with the development files is located in bin\winXX\dev folders. To use it, include the zabbix_sender.h header file and link with the zabbix_sender.lib library. An example file with Zabbix sender API usage can be found in build\win32\examples\zabbix_sender folder.
The following functionality is provided by the Zabbix sender dynamic link library:
int zabbix_sender_send_values(const char *address, unsigned short port,const char *source, const zabbix_sender_value_t *values, int count,char **result); | ||
|---|---|---|
| char **result);`{.c} |
The following data structures are used by the Zabbix sender dynamic link library:
typedef struct { /* host name, must match the name of target host in Zabbix */ char *host; /* the item key */ char *key; /* the item value */ char *value; } zabbix_sender_value_t; typedef struct { /* number of total values processed */ int total; /* number of failed values */ int failed; /* time in seconds the server spent processing the sent values */ double time_spent; } zabbix_sender_info_t;
