Is anyone working on getting the proxy working for Windows? I need it for Zabbix to be much use to me but don't want to waste time on it if someone is already working on it...

no, and it will probably not be trivial.
you'll be better off setting up linux - even if it's just a vm in that windows host -
Re: windows proxy
Yeah, so this is actually a pretty valid request. Some companies have become weary of Windows monitoring via agents and have began to prefer wmi. I have built a small script to load wmi queries which I configure as a custom agent check on a single windows host with the zabbix agent installed. This is quick and dirty and if we were to build out a windows version of the proxy so we could create an agentless check via wmi through a proxy, i think it would add a huge boost to the zabbix portfolio. I'm game to help out on this although it may be a bit of work. I have mixed feelings about running this on cygwin. However, if we built an install package that bundled cygwin and installed the compiled code it should be easier to keep up with code updates to the mainline proxy code. Contact me if you want to try to spin off a project here.Comment

Windows agent as Zabbix Proxy for WMI monitoring?
Hello,
I am new to this Forum.
First of all. Thanks for this nice monitoring tool!
I have the same question as the james.harper.
With version 2.2 is WMI build into the Zabbix agent for Windows.
Is there any way, to install this agent on a Windows host an to use this agent as a proxy to monitor any other Windows based machines via WMI without to install the agent on them?
Thx in advanced for your answers!

Good news! With the new WLS windows feature you can now run zabbix proxy and server on windows. I have created a guide for installing the proxy but the beginning section can also be used for zabbix servers. http://www.solutioning.eu/2019/05/08...xy-on-windows/Comment
