    Install/config questions.

    Sorry I am a NOOB, a lot of the manual is over my head, I am not a professional IT Guy.
    I have Zabbix Agent v2.0.4 Win64 installed and started on my win7 machine. (I know it is NOT Configured right as I don't understand all the terminology)
    I would like to monitor internet traffic on about 10 devices. (not the machine I am monitoring from)

    I have not been able to figure out how to even get to a log in page for zabbix.

    so far my conf file looks like this...

    LogFile=C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\Zabbix_agentd.log
    DebugLevel=4
    Server=192.168.1.120
    ListenPort=10050
    ListenIP=127.0.0.1
    ServerActive=127.0.0.1
    HostnameItem=system.hostname

    I am monitoring from win7 machine at IP 192.168.1.120 (is that in the right place/where do I put it?

    the following is a list of IP addresses I want to monitor. (where do I put them?) (I am hoping this is the correct format, comma separated no spaces.
    192.168.1.140,192.168.1.141,192.168.1.160,192.168. 1.161,192.168.1.162,192.168.1.170,192.168.1.171,19 2.168.1.180,192.168.1.181,192.168.1.190

    and where does the 127.0.0.1 go? and is this the number I type into a web browser to log into zabbix? or does it need a /zabbix after it, or a /10050, or either or?

    do I need to install something on each device? or only the one monitoring?

    Thanks for any help... I can't wait to start playing with this.

    You need a zabbix server running somewhere. The server collects data from agents. You install the agent on each computer you want to monitor, and that agent sends all relevant data to the server. By installing the agent on your win7 pc, your win7 pc can now be monitored by a zabbix server, if there was one.
