Greetings,

By default the ZabbixW32.exe writes an entry to the Application log every minute, this is causing my application logs to fill up on my Win2K / WinXP servers. I know I can increase the limits on my application logs, however, as the agent is throwing an error every 60 seconds, it is only a matter of time till it fills any amount I give it.

Additionally the error it is throwing is;
Active Checks [Error while recieving data from <Server IP Addr>:10051][No Error]
Which means to me that either ZabbixW32.exe is not really getting an error, or that Active checks are required with 1.1beta1. To that end, I created a minor active check using system.uname, thinking that this might eliminate this application error, no good. I continue to get the application error, every 60 seconds.

Okay, Erisan and I have been troubleshooting this issue on the Zabbix IRC channel. It does not appear to be an issue with the zabbix_agentd.conf file. We have stripped the configuration file down to the bare bones and we are getting the same error. Additionally, we have tried removing the event sources, and when we do that we get the same rate of messages, but there is a lot more to them. Additionally, we have tried sending them to a log file, but when we do that, we are getting new entries into the log file every 60 seconds.
