Zabbix Win32

[andrewm659]

I am trying to get the zabbix win32 service installed, it installs successfully, but when i go to start it, it tells me that it started in an untimely manner.

Zabbix Win32

It never installed properly creating a service that would log all this info.....

[dantheman]

Try opening up a command prompt, move to the directory where you put the zabbix agent, and then run zabbixw32 check-config and see if it has any problems with the configuration file.

Zabbix Win32

I did, the config file checked out fine.

Hi

I am also facing the same problem. I gave zabbixw32 check-config. it shows
D:\Zabbix>zabbixw32 check-config


this is the output
Checking configuration file:

Using configuration file "C:\zabbix_agentd.conf"
Configuration file OK

the services are showing starting but not getting started

[Tim S]

Will the service start if you comment out the logfile line in the config?
That's the problem I had until I fixed the file permissions so that the service had rights to write to the file.

temp folder

The newer versions of the agent use c:\tmp as the temp folder, if this folder doesnt exist then the agent wont start.

I think the registry entry is not getting purged after uninstalling the older version of zabbix......Infact i restarted the server after uninstalling...

[erisan500]

Please, post the line how you installed the zabbix agent.

Greetings

[mary nancy]

Hi,

Please find the installation procedure:

1. We have Created a folder Zabbix in D drive and copy the zabbixw32.exe, zabbix_agentd.conf to D:\zabbix
Remember for NT serversthere are 4 files(pdh.dbg, pdh.dll, pdh.pdb, psapi.dll) related to DLL for NT servers , an agent config file and an Executable file copy all of them to d:\Zabbix

2. Change the hostname in the config file to the hostname of the server in which the Zabbix to be installed, and copy the config file to C:

3.Go to command prompt d:\zabbix
D:\zabbix> zabbixw32 check-config

4. once the configurations are OK , give this command D:\zabbix>zabbixw32 install
This will install the zabbixw32 service successfully

5. Go to Services.msc and start zabbix Win32 Agent service


The uninstallation Procedure:
Give the command like d:\Zabbix>zabbixw32 remove

[AlexWhite]

Hi,
4. once the configurations are OK , give this command D:\zabbix>zabbixw32 install
This will install the zabbixw32 service successfully
5. Go to Services.msc and start zabbix Win32 Agent service

Small addition
start zabbix Win32 Agent service
D:\zabbix>net start ZabbixAgentdW32
Stop zabbix Win32
D:\zabbix>net stop ZabbixAgentdW32

[erisan500]

4. once the configurations are OK , give this command D:\zabbix>zabbixw32 install

Try specifying your config file:

 [b]D:\zabbix>zabbixw32 --config D:\zabbix\yourconfigfilename install[/b]

[mary nancy]

Hi,

I tried net start and net stop , to start and stop services, but did not workout. after installation again the service is in starting state only....but never gets started.

to install I used
zabbixw32 --config c:\zabbix_agentd.conf install

nothing helped me.. I still dont understand why registry entries are not getting purged even after uninstallation

Somebody help me with this

Thanks and regards
Nancy

[martins.felipe]

Same with me !!!

I'm facing the exact same problem
I check configurations and they are OK, the service gets up, I can see it's port by nmaping it, but it refuses to response any request of zabbix.
I found something about a problem using the pid file, and hostname configuration tags at configuration file.
I'm gonna take a look and as soon as I get it working , i'll let you up.
