Hello. I dont understand how use multi\_value in logstash (zabbix output).

(Use logstash 5.5.2)

For example:  
in filter:

> ```
> filter {
> mutate {
> add_field => {
> "zabbix_key" => ["zabbix.key.1", "zabbix.key.2", "zabbix.key.2", "zabbix.key.2"]
> "zabbix_value" => ["value.for.zabbix.key.1", "value.for.zabbix.key.1", "value.for.zabbix.key.1", "value.for.zabbix.key.1"]
> "zabbix_host" => "HOSTNAME_IN_ZABBIX"
> }
> }
> }
> 
> ```

in output:

> ```
> output {
> zabbix {
> zabbix_server_host => "<ZABBIX_SERVER_HOST>"
> multi_value => [zabbix_key, zabbix_value]
> zabbix_host => "zabbix_host"
> }
> }
> 
> ```

But in log i see:

> [[main]\>worker0] WARN logstash.outputs.zabbix - Zabbix server at \<ZABBIX\_SERVER\_HOST\> rejected all items sent. {:zabbix\_host=\>"HOSTNAME\_IN\_ZABBIX"}

I see it, because output config - wrong?

No. It's because the plugin needs to be updated to work with Zabbix 3.x. Something shifted between 2.x and 3.x, and the plugin needs patching.

Not until the plugin is updated, no.
