Zabbix Agent Installer for Windows (W32 & w64)

[ogdenous]

I think most people are crashing with the 1.6 installer. I hope there is a fix soon.

Nice installer. It would be nice to have a listenport and a serverport to be configured within installation.

[NOB]

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

Concerning the Debuglevel:

No it's not the path. I modified the installer and the path is correct
at installation time.
The problem is that in our case the drive letters are changed after
installation. The path to the log file becomes invalid from then on.
And the installer can't look into the future, yet

Concerning the 1.6 agent:

First, I wondered why there is no 1.6 installer. After testing the 1.6 agent
on Windows I know it.

Don't waste your time.
The agent will install (I've done an installer based on your previous work)
but not run for long time.
I even tried specifying the new parameters (BufferSize and BufferSend).
Setting these parameters does not solve the problem. The names of the
parameters are right, because I got complains from the agent if set to 0 (zero).

There is no real point in providing an installer for the current version
of the agent.

Regarding the 1.4.x installation: Suddenly the installation on 64-bit
versions of Windows seems to be broken. I think 1.4.4 could be
installed without problems but neither 1.4.5 nor 1.4.6 will install
without interrupting the installation.
I had to copy the 64-bit agent to the right place overwriting the 32-bit
one.
I think it has something to do with the check for Itanium and some
registry entries giving an error.
This seem to result in an endless loop.
To test the installation of 1.4.6 I removed the (very nice and useful) part
to check for the right ZABBIX Server to use. But still the endless loop.

I found that checking for the right ZABBIX-Server from a list requires that
the WMI Service is running.

Zabbix Agent installer 1.4.6

you will find the new 32 & 64 bits zabbix Agent installer update from the 1.6.1 source code

You will find it following this link

http://www.suiviperf.com/zabbix

Somes changes have been done :

• If you have multiple Zabbix server by location you can create a file in the installer directory calling it zabbixlist.csv like :
  
  

  NetworkAdress;ZabbixServeurAdress
  default;zabbix_server4
  192.168.1.0;zabbix_server1
  192.168.2.0;zabbix_server2
  192.168.3.0;zabbix_server1
  192.168.4.0;zabbix_server3

  
  When the installer see this file it calculate the network adress and try to find it in the file and take the zabbix server attached to the network adress.
  
  If the network adress is not in the file it take the default line if there is otherwise he take the server adresse given in the parameters

• You can add a directory name script in the installer directory : All file in this directory will be copy to the install path

• Now the uninstaller wil only remove the basic files :
  Zabbix_agentd.pid, LICENSE.txt, README.txt, zabbix_agentd.conf, zabbix_agentd.exe, zabbix_get.exe, zabbix_sender.exe

Has anyone tested this installer with an active Trendmicro antivirus solution?
A customer which uses our Zabbix monitoring infrastructure had problems while installing the zabbix agent using the installer.

Virus Alert!!
TROJ_DROPPER.GDM is detected on "SERVERNAME"(admin-edi) in Server domain.
Infected file: C:\DOCUME~1\ADMIN-~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\nskAB1.tmp\nsAB2.tmp
Detection date: 19.02.2009 16:46:16
Action: Virus successfully detected, cannot perform the Clean action (Delete)

This message appears when trying to install the agent. After that the agent service is not installed.

Zabbix installer and the 64 bits

most of my PCs and server are installed with officescan and they dont have any alert. Can you give me the package name ?

[welkin]

what do you mean by "package name" ? the filename of the installer? or its version?
it is ver. 1.6.2 and the filename is :"zabbix_agent-1.6.2_installer.exe"

regards welkin

[scotty]

Thanks yes It was the version that I needed. I checked the installer 1.6.2 with Trend Micro - Office scan (pattern 5.885.00 Eng 8.911) I did not found any problème with this package.

Perhaps the package was infected after download

[welkin]

the Package was clean switching the AV scanner off just for the installation worked.

Will there be a installer with Version 1.6.3 ?

regards welkin

Hi all,

I just want some information(s) about the reason that on this page http://www.zabbix.com/download.php the latest stable agent (for windows) is 1.4.4 and on this forum there is evolution of zabbix agent, are they considered unstable??

Thanks for your answer
