New release of ZabbixAgent.NET

[mbjoerling]

Hi

A new release of the Zabbix Agent for .NET have been release. We have made a new configuration utility to make it alot easier to configure agent.

Some of the new features is

Queuing of results from items. If Zabbix is down or network breaks, the items won't be lost. Making sure graphs don't miss importent data.

SSH can now be used with password or key.

Better handling of network code, now the agent wont utilize every cpu cycle it can get if the agent crash.

Configuration is now moved from registry to XML (ZabbixAgent.xml) in the install dir.

Logging is moved to the installation dir, instead of C:\agent.log

Mapping of performance counters, so a generic item can be used to monitor different counters at servers. So only the mapping have to be setup for a agent and the server can pool a generic item. Like different netcards, they can now be fetched like net.if.in[eth0] will point to the right network card as performance counter.

Enjoy

btw. can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/zanet/ and the new one is build 12.

Hi all,

just to inform you that we released a new version of the .Net agent.

-fixed Perfcounter allways returning 0 for calculated counters
(Now cpu usage returns correct data)


Have fun

I've been using build 12 of the agent and am attempting to connect without using SSH. Zabbix keeps reporting my host as unavailable, because the connection (on port 10050) is refused by the Agent.

I've set the agent to connect to Zabbix on port 10051, but I can't set the agent's listening port like I can with the official agent. Is this functionality not implemented or am I doing something wrong?

You are not doing anything wrong. The .Net agent doesn't accept connections at the moment. It's a "Active" agent only at the moment.

We will look into that to resolve the "host unavailable" issue.

Thanks for your feedback.

Does the .NET agent allow the pushing of eventlogs to a Zabbix server, similar to the W32 Agent (since that's an Active Item anyway)?

Thanks,

Not at the moment, but if it's something you would like to see, and maybe 2-3 more wants it. Ill happily code the counter.

Their are two things that push me away from your client :
* eventlog
* active check

I think it's definitely something that would make your agent robust. Centralized Eventlog collection is a major "need to have" at a lot of different enterprises for compliance and monitoring issues (as well as troubleshooting). Would it be a major pain to add that functionality? I would definitely be interested in helping to test if you plan to do it.

Not having these are show stoppers for me.

Event logs are critical.

Should your agent be using 38 MB of RAM or am I misconfigured?

Any further news on this?

Agreed Windows Event Log is a must and that would also stop me using your client as well
