Agent Update

Hi to all,
Maybe for someone it is going to be helpful. I have ~150 windows servers with the zabbix agents on them & when a new version came out I just use binaries form an official website and distribute them among all windows machines.
You will need psexec, a shared folder, use this code to create a batch file:

@echo off

echo Updating Agent

echo Mapping Shared Drive B:

net use b: \\destination\to\zabbix_binaries
set FilePath32="B:\win32"
set FilePath64="B:\win64"
if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)" (
  set FilePath=%FilePath64%
  ) else (
	  set FilePath=%FilePath32%
	  )
if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)" (
	cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Zabbix Agent"
	) else (
		cd "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent"
		)


net stop "Zabbix Agent"

ECHO Copying Files
xcopy /F /Y /R %FilePath%

net use b: /delete

ECHO Start The Zabbix Agent Service
net start "Zabbix Agent"

ECHO Finish

Change \\destination\to\zabbix_binaries to yours.

And then RUN psexec @C:\server_list.txt -u username -p password /c C:\batch_file.bat

This method works only if you have already an agent installed on the system.

How you update agents in your environment?

64bits install

Hi,
I have some troubles with the installer from suiviperf on 64bits windows.

for whatever reason, it keeps installing a 32bits version in program files (x86).


I tried on a 2008R2 and on a 2003 64bits, but i keep getting the 32bits version installed.

any clues ?

Is there a specific switch to force 64bit install ?

Thanks...

[scotty]

I've been told, the installation is on the 32bits program file ( program files (x86)) but it should be 64bit version.

it is not a titanium processor ?

could you please give me the version of the package

[ghoz]

I'm using the latest installer for 1.8.7
The CPU is an intel xeon, AMD-64 compatible, no itanium in sight.
OS is windows 2003 R2 x64.

using the installer, the binary is installed in program files (x86), and is the 32bit version :

[admin@zabbix ~]$ zabbix_get  -s x.x.x.x -k system.uname
Windows HOSTNAME 5.2.3790 Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Intel IA-32

manually starting the 64bit binary, I get :

[admin@zabbix ~]$ zabbix_get  -s x.x.x.x -k system.uname
Windows HOSTNAME 5.2.3790 Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 AMD-64

I tried on a "inter cote I5 CPU M520" and the installation was badly made on "C:\Program Files (x86)\Zabbix Agent" but the agent installed was well the 64b. the mechanism to detect 32 or 64B seems not working for your CPU.

I used a mechanism that determin if the OS is 64b. I changed this part can I send it directly to you to try ?

[ghoz]

Doh...
I can test it, but it worked the way you said : 64bit exe in 32bit program files...

I cant' reproduce the problem after deinstalling/ reinstalling from scratch the latest version ... on 3 different system ( different CPU, mix of 2008R2 and 2003 x64) ...

I don't understand how I got the wrong results in the first place ...

Anyway... send the link in PM if you still want me to test your new detection mechanism...

on an somehow related note, I'd suggest making the upgrade keep the zabbix.conf ,
or add a flag to the uninstaller to keep the config file (and the installer to skip the confg file creation) ?

Right now the upgrade / reinstall destroys the painfully crafted zabbix.conf :-)

Dear Scotty,
