Zabbix Agent Installer for Windows (W32 & w64)

[ittec]

One question

Excuse me

What happens if I reboot the server? Im finding more information in forum but... I can't :S I need to create some batch to re-install zabbix_agentd when the server is rebooted or not.

Thanks.

[scotty]

this is an installation package not a launch batch you don't have to reinstall it after reboot.

Thanks

Thanks for explanation, Scoot I tested and works perfectly!!!

Hi Scotty,

I'd like to add a script to my users' login to see if the the agent is installed and running, if it is not, install and start it. ( please see this thread One step install and starting of windows agent )

Can your installation work this way?

Thank you.

Sorry for the delay, Mikrodots, I did not saw your message
I don't anderstand what do you exactly want.
The installer uninstall the working version and install the new one you juste have to check if its working before lunching the installer.
Don't hesitate to write me on.

Hi Scotty,

Thanks for the reply. It looks like I was making it more difficult than necessary.

Norbert is likely correct in his reply to my other post - I probably just need a simple check to see if the service is running before calling your installer.

Thanks for your work.

Is it backwords compatible with 1.45? And is there a reason why I should install this agent instead of the 1.45 version?

[scotty]

Every installation uninstall the previous one even if it is a version is ahead.
So it is always possible to go back to a previous version but
sorry I cannot answer for further question

Hi Scotty. For the 1.5.3 installer, any reason you have the debug level set to 0 instead of the default 4? I think the majority of users want to have a log generated.

[scotty]

Hello tchjts1,

Since the begining the debug level is to 0 and you are the first to ask me to change that to an other value. if the Community want to change that option I can change it for further builds or i can add a command line option to fixe it.

DebugLevel 0: OK

Hi

we appreciate that the DebugLevel is 0.
In this case a DebugFile is neither used nor created.

If we really want a DebugFile we'll edit the zabbix_agentd.conf
file and restart the agent.

Why do we appreciate it ?

It's easy:
The base software (OS) on our Windows server are installed by a certain team.
Then this is passed to another team, e.g. the "Citrix people". They install
MetaFrame on it and change the drive letters from C: to N:, from D: to M:
and so on.
The tool assisting in this works fine with the registry but entries in any
file are left alone.

This means:
If we would have a DebugFile configured and used in the zabbix_agentd.conf
the agent will report problems and won't perhaps even start after the
change of the drive letters.

So: no DebugFile used, no problem for us

OTOH: You are free to download and install the NSIS software, the NSIS package source and repackage the agent.
We are doing it because we separate the zabbix_agentd.conf in three
parts using the "Include" statement in the conf file:

one part covering the ZABBIX-server IPs, another part covering the user-parameters and the main part covering all the rest.

Hope this helps !

Regards

Norbert.

P.S. Waiting for the 1.6 agent installer

[scotty]

OK for debuglevel 0 but if the problem is juste the path I can position it in the directory of installation in the zabbix_agentd.conf

Concerning the 1.6 agent installer I got a crash when I launch zabbix agent : have a look

I have no way to determine if it is on my only PC, if it is the syntax used or if it is a general failure?

It will be make it as soon as I have resolved this problem
