But I'm not sure will it work or not. As a workaround additional calculated item could be created, based on the log item.

thanks for the clarification

Actually I looked to the doc because it was not clear (IMO) what will actually do. Documentation says that “0 – is replaced with the matched text”
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/config/items/itemtypes/zabbix_agent
Current article says ” will return the whole matched string”

Documentation looks more clear for me :)

If I had time and stronger php skills, I'd get on myself :s Thanks

I can only speak for my own, and therefore not recommend any specific devices (but rather leave that to other members of this forum that is not biased :) ), but I have to agree with you on that the majority of what you find out there are rather pricey and/or .. weird. I'd use the word inflexible though. Which is one of the main reasons I started making them myself. But what is the price of a fully equipped Android device? I remember someone on the Zabbix forum built a temp+humidity sensor from Arduino part for $55, should the DIY route appeal to you. I don't mean to be vague and dismissive, but my focus is the cause, not a specific solution. I recommend googling some more, maybe start a forum thread? If you then after some fair comparing think my company can be of service, you're very welcome to contact us via our website. Thank you, Maxim.

I have plans to cover the same metrics, like temperatures, humidity etc., but I have same question as Alexei: which sensors to use? Few months ago I did some research, but withnout any satisfaction. I found some sensors but they are i pricey or... weird. I need some simple sollution, my idea is simple LAN (POE) device with easy SNMP interface. And the price should be really less then fully equipped Android device... Any ideas? Really great post!
