break zabbix_agentd.conf file into smaller files

[gnordli]

On windows hosts i am using performance counters that change on different machines. Ie. the Network adapters aren't the same name accross different servers. I would like to break the network adapter performance counters into a separate file and keep the settings that are the same accross all servers in a single file.

Is there the ability to "include" other files in the zabbix_agentd.conf file?

thanks,

Geoff

Not currently.

It has been requested in the past but it doesnt hurt to rerequest it

couldn't you just add all the conf files together and then point the agent to look for say c:\zabbix_agent\conf\*.conf

?

There is support for it in the upcoming release of the .net agent. It support mappings of performance counters. So a counter which took the byte per sec on a specific interface, could be mapped to a default counter and be the same on all servers which all had different counters behind the scene.

Greetings,

I don't recall the details, but there is a patch available over on Source Forge that gives tha Zabbix Agent, the ability to recurse through a directory tree and add each of the config files at start up.

As was stated previously, this is a feature that has been asked for before, man times. I am currently working on something similar for Unix. Unfortunately, I don't do windows, as such someone else will need to port it when I complete the patch.
