=== ZABBIX Agent (Windows) ===
 +
 
 +
ZabbixW32 is ZABBIX agent for Win32 systems. It will work on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
 +
 
 +
==== Installation ====
 +
 
 +
Installation is very simple and includes 3 steps:
 +
 
 +
'''Step 1 Create configuration file.'''
 +
 
 +
Create configuration file c:/zabbix_agentd.conf (it has the same syntax as UNIX agent).
 +
 
 +
'''Step 2 Install agent as a Windows service.'''
 +
 
 +
ZabbixW32.exe --install
 +
 
 +
If you wish to use configuration file other that c:\zabbix_agentd.conf, you should use the following command for service installation:
 +
 
 +
ZabbixW32.exe --config &lt;your_configuration_file&gt; install
 +
 
 +
Full path to configuration file should be specified.
 +
 
 +
'''Step 3 Run agent.'''
 +
 
 +
Now you can use Control Panel to start agent's service or run:
 +
 
 +
ZabbixW32.exe start
 +
 
 +
Windows NT 4.0 note. ZabbixW32 uses PDH (Performance Data Helper)
 +
 
 +
Note:
 +
  API to gather various system information, so PDH.DLL is needed. This DLL is not supplied with Windows NT 4.0, so you need to download and
 +
  install it by yourself. Microsoft Knowledge Base article number 284996 describes this in detail and contains a download link. You can find this
 +
  article at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;284996
 +
 
 +
==== Usage ====
 +
 
 +
Command line syntax:
 +
 
 +
zabbix_agentd.exe [-Vhp] [-idsx] [-c &lt;file&gt;] [-t &lt;metric&gt;]
 +
 
 +
ZABBIX Windows Agent accepts the following command line parameters:
 +
 
 +
'''Options:'''
 +
 
 +
-c --config &lt;file&gt; Specify alternate configuration file (default is c:\zabbix_agentd.conf).
 +
-h --help Display help information.
 +
-V --version Display version number.
 +
-p --print Print list of supported checks (metrics) and exit.
 +
-t --test &lt;metric&gt; Test single check (metric) and exit.
 +
 
 +
'''Functions:'''
 +
 
 +
-I --install Install ZABBIX agent as a service.
 +
-d --uninstall Uninstall ZABBIX agent service.
 +
-s --start Start ZABBIX agent service.
 +
-x --stop Stop ZABBIX agent service.

| Sets the alias for parameter. It can be useful to substitute long and complex parameter name with a smaller and simpler one. For example, if you wish to retrieve paging file usage in percents from the server, you may use parameter "perf_counter[\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage]", or you may define an alias by adding the following line to configuration file: Alias = pg_usage:perf_counter[\Pagi ng File(_Total)\% Usage] After that you can use parameter name "pg_usage" to retrieve the same information. You can specify as many "Alias" records as you wish. Please note that aliases cannot be used for parameters defined in "PerfCounter" configuration file records.

4.2.          ZABBIX Agent (UNIX, standalone daemon)
+
              ZABBIX UNIX Agent runs on a host being monitored. The agent provides host's
+
              performance and availability information for ZABBIX Server.
+
              ZABBIX Agent processes items of type ‘ZABBIX Agent’ or ‘ZABBIX Agent
+
              (active)’.
+
              ZABBIX Agent can be started by executing:
+
              shell> cd bin
+
              shell> ./zabbix_agentd
+
              ZABBIX Agent runs as a daemon process.
+
              ZABBIX Agent accepts the following command line parameters:
+
                -c --config <file>  specify configuration file, default is
+
                                    /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

              ZabbixW32.exe install
+
              If you wish to use configuration file other that c:\zabbix_agentd.conf, you should
+
              use the following command for service installation:
+
              ZabbixW32.exe --config <your_configuration_file> install
+
              Full path to configuration file should be specified.
+
                            Run agent.
+
                Step 2
+
              Now you can use Control Panel to start agent's service or run:
+
              ZabbixW32.exe start
+
                      Windows NT 4.0 note. ZabbixW32 uses PDH (Performance Data Helper)
+
              Note:
+
                      API to gather various system information, so PDH.DLL is needed. This
+
                      DLL is not supplied with Windows NT 4.0, so you need to download and
+
                      install it by yourself. Microsoft Knowledge Base article number 284996
+
                      describes this in detail and contains a download link. You can find this

ZABBIX Agent (Windows)

ZabbixW32 is ZABBIX agent for Win32 systems. It will work on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

Installation

Installation is very simple and includes 3 steps:

Step 1 Create configuration file.

Create configuration file c:/zabbix_agentd.conf (it has the same syntax as UNIX agent).

Step 2 Install agent as a Windows service.

ZabbixW32.exe --install

If you wish to use configuration file other that c:\zabbix_agentd.conf, you should use the following command for service installation:

ZabbixW32.exe --config <your_configuration_file> install

Full path to configuration file should be specified.

Step 3 Run agent.

Now you can use Control Panel to start agent's service or run:

ZabbixW32.exe start

Windows NT 4.0 note. ZabbixW32 uses PDH (Performance Data Helper)

Note:
 API to gather various system information, so PDH.DLL is needed. This DLL is not supplied with Windows NT 4.0, so you need to download and
 install it by yourself. Microsoft Knowledge Base article number 284996 describes this in detail and contains a download link. You can find this
 article at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;284996

Usage

Command line syntax:

zabbix_agentd.exe [-Vhp] [-idsx] [-c <file>] [-t <metric>]

ZABBIX Windows Agent accepts the following command line parameters:

Options:

-c --config <file> Specify alternate configuration file (default is c:\zabbix_agentd.conf).
-h --help Display help information.
-V --version Display version number.
-p --print Print list of supported checks (metrics) and exit.
-t --test <metric> Test single check (metric) and exit.

Functions:

-I --install Install ZABBIX agent as a service.
-d --uninstall Uninstall ZABBIX agent service.
-s --start Start ZABBIX agent service.
-x --stop Stop ZABBIX agent service.

The file contains configuration parameters for Zabbix_agentd.exe. Supported parameters:


Parameter Mandatory Default value Description
Alias No -
Sets the alias for parameter. It can be useful to substitute long and complex parameter name with a smaller and simpler one. For example, if you wish to retrieve paging file usage in percents from the server, you may use parameter "perf_counter[\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage]", or you may define an alias by adding the following line to configuration file: Alias = pg_usage:perf_counter[\Pagi ng File(_Total)\% Usage] After that you can use parameter name "pg_usage" to retrieve the same information. You can specify as many "Alias" records as you wish. Please note that aliases cannot be used for parameters defined in "PerfCounter" configuration file records.
DebugLevel No
3

Debug level, one of

0 – none

1 – critical

2 – errors

3 – warnings

4 – debug

Include No - Use this parameter to include a file into the configuration file. Number of parameters Include is not limited. For example: Include=c:\user_parameters. conf
ListenPort No 10050 Port number to listen.
LogFile No - Name of log file. If not set, syslog is used.
LogUnresolvedSymbols No - Controls logging of unresolved symbols during agent startup. Values can be strings ‘yes’ or ‘no’ (without quotes).
MaxCollectorProcessingTime No 100 Sets maximum acceptable processing time of one data sample by collector thread (in milliseconds). If processing time will exceed specified value, warning message will be written to the log file.
NoTimeWait No - The parameter has no effect.
PerfCounter No -

<parameter_name>,"<perf_c ounter_path>",<period> Defines new parameter <parameter_name> which is an average value for system performance counter <perf_counter_path> for the specified time period <period> (in seconds).

For example, if you wish to receive average number of processor interrupts per second for last minute, you can define new parameter "interrupts" as following:

PerfCounter = interrupts,"\Processor(0)\Inter rupts/sec",60

Please note double quotes around performance counter path. Samples for calculating average value will be taken every second.

You may run typeperf –qx to get list of all performance counters available in Windows.

PidFile No - The parameter has no effect.
Server Yes - Comma-delimited list of IP addresses of ZABBIX servers. Connections from other IP addresses will be rejected.
StartAgents No - The parameter has no effect.
UserParameter No - ') characters! Example:UserParameter=test ,echo 1
