TSTool / Command / TSID for Zabbix

Overview

The TSID command for Zabbix causes a single time series to be read from Zabbix web services using default parameters. A TSID command is created by copying a time series from the Time Series List in the main TSTool interface to the Commands area. TSID commands can also be created by editing the command file with a text editor.

See the Zabbix Datastore Appendix for information about TSID syntax.

See also the ReadZabbix command, which reads one or more time series and provides parameters for control over how data are read.

The TSTool Zabbix plugin automatically manipulates time series timestamps to be consistent with TSTool, as follows:

  • History (recent irregular interval time series):
    • use timestamps from Zabbix web services without changing
  • Trend (older, hour-interval time series):
    • timestamps are adjusted from the beginning of the interval to the end of the interval to agree with TSTool conventions
    • use the ReadZabbix command to control how the timestamp is handled

Command Editor

All TSID commands are edited using the general TSID command editor.

Command Syntax

See the Zabbix Datastore Appendix for information about TSID syntax.
