ValueError when trying to run zbxdb.py

[ksalman]

Describe the bug I am trying to run zbxdb against the configuration file and it fails with ValueError

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. cfg file obfuscate entries like address, username and password

   [zbxdb]
   db_url = //192.168.100.103/MSSQLSERVER
   username = zabbix
   password = zabbix
   db_type = mssql
   server = 192.168.100.103
   server_port = 1433
   db_name = master
   db_driver = pytds
   role = normal
   out_dir = $HOME/zbxdb_out
   hostname = testhost
   checks_dir = etc/zbxdb_checks
   site_checks = NONE
   cafile = $HOME/somecapemfile
   instance_type = rdbms
   password_enc = emFiYml4

Expected behavior No error

Could it be that there exist none printable characters in the db_type parameter value? Is the listed directory ~/zbxdb/etc/zbxdb_checks/ or is it ~/etc/zbxdb_checks/ ? The etc directory is taken relative to $ZBXDB_HOME, which default is $HOME.

Did you get this working?

I assume this works now.
