windows services monitoring with zabbix 2.x

[753713]

Step1
copy services.exe to the zabbix agent and add in the zabbix_agent.conf the userparameter:

UserParameter=windows.services,"C:\Programme\Zabbi x Agent\services.exe"

Step2

create the discovery rule:




Step3

create the item

{#FSSERVICE} -> windows service name
{#FSSERNAME} -> windows service description



and the result:

you can monitoring the windows processes too:

UserParameter=windows.process,"C:\Programme\Zabbix Agent\process.exe"

{#FSPROCESS} -> windows processes in the task manager

Excellent idea

This is an excellent idea to discover all Windows services.

On my Zabbix 2.0.0 the discovery is now working. The reason therefore is the returned array name.
{
"windows.services":[
{ "{#FSSERVICE}":"AeLookupSvc", "{#FSSERNAME}":"Anwendungserfahrung"},
{ "{#FSSERVICE}":"ALG", "{#FSSERNAME}":"Gatewaydienst auf Anwendungsebene"},
{ "{#FSSERVICE}":"AppIDSvc", "{#FSSERNAME}":"Anwendungsidentit?t"},...
}

The name must be "data" instead of "windows.services"

Althow the encoding for the German special characters are only shown as a "?".

ok, the latest version running with zabbix 1.9.9 without problems.

After upgrade I have the same error, here a new link:

The newly provided Services.exe is NOT working at all with the zabbix_agentd.
It is opening a graphical window on the windows server.
In the output of zabbix_agentd.exe -p the created UserParameter windows.services in not listed anymore.

The old or first provided service.exe worked fine except of the array name. In the Zabbix GUI I saw the following message:
Cannot find the "data" array in the received JSON object

can you download the files again and check´with this command:

C:\Programme\Zabbix Agent>zabbix_agentd.exe -c "c:\Programme\Zabbix
Agent\zabbix_agentd.conf" -t "windows.services"
windows.services [t|{
"data":[
{ "{#FSSERVICE}":"Alerter", "{#FSSERNAME}":"Warndienst"},
{ "{#FSSERVICE}":"ALG", "{#FSSERNAME}":"Gatewaydienst auf Anwendungsebene"},.................

[adriano]

not working for me..

Trying to use it but nothing here..

I have a Master Node in distributed monitoring, it has no agents monitored, only takes data from nodes and proxies.

I'm trying to use it in agents being monitored by a proxy, tested it with zabbix_agentd.exe, and works fine, but no dta is displayed on the server, and no logs at all until now.. any ideas?

new Version, with UTF8 support:

simple idea for the discovery without configure the zabbix_agent.conf, copy the exe files to c:\ZABBIX folder on your system and configure your discovery rule:

I've updated zbxlld to support services discovery.

You can filter the services using the following filters: auto, demand and disabled.

Manual: https://github.com/skarllot/zbxlld/wiki/Manual
Home page: https://github.com/skarllot/zbxlld
zbxlld thread at ZABBIX forum: https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showpos...05&postcount=2

All feedbacks are welcome.

For everyone that would like service discovery supported natively in the agent, please vote on https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-1368

[vlam]

Will this also work if the servers that I want to monitor the services on is being monitored by a Zabbix Proxy??

[qix]

That should work juist fine :-)

[storm]

As best I can tell, I have followed the instructions and I'll attach pics but it is not working for me. Can someone tell me what Im doing wrong?
Also, in zabbix_server.log, I have this line: " item [Beatlebox:system.run[c:\Zabbix\Services.exe]] became not supported: Not supported by Zabbix Agent"

Thank you,
Mike

There is no need for the system.run item. Just define the userparameter in the agent conf file as shown in the first post.

[storm]

Concerning post number 1, in step 3, is this creating an Item or is this Discovery rules=>Item prototypes? Neither one looks exactly like mine but Im running 2.0.1.

Also, is there a more detailed step by step document?
