Problem in connection between zabbix server (ubuntu server) and agent (windows)

[Amirov]

I have downloaded Zabbix 2.0.6 agent for windows, I used this document (http://www.packetwatch.net/documents...2010102201.php) to install it and it's started successfully in my agent and the configuration is true.

The probleme when i add my agent with my ip adress in my zabbix server, i have this error : connection refused.

What is the problem ???

Thank you.

Perhaps there is a firewall between the agent and the server?
Try to telnet to your host from your zabbix-server:
telnet ip.of.agent.x 10050

Is your firewall on the windows machine open for port 10050? And is there a firewall between the server and agent?

i have the same problem when i disable my firewall on my windows machine (Os : windows 7). I have many zabbix client (ubuntu server) connectting with my zabbix server and these work very well.

Does a ping from your server to the windows agent work?

Else, is your agent config file correctly setup?
Check what lines you have uncommented and are they correct

### Option: Alias
# Sets an alias for parameter. It can be useful to substitute long and complex parameter name with a smaller and simpler one.
# For example, if you wish to retrieve paging file usage in percents from the server,
# you may use parameter "perf_counter[\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage]", or you may define an alias by adding the following line to configuration file
# Alias = pg_usageerf_counter[\Paging File(_Total)\% Usage]

# For example, if you wish to receive average number of processor interrupts per second for last minute, you can define new parameter "interrupts" as following:
# PerfCounter = interrupts,"\Processor(0)\Interrupts/sec",60
# Please note double quotes around performance counter path.

Your config looks fine

Observations:
Ping works but telnet 10050 does not -> There may be a firewall between your agent and server that blocks 10050. However if you have other hosts in the same network that do work it is probably something windows specific (Windows firewalls are stupieeed)

Does your agent work properly? Test it with
zabbix_agentd.exe -t system.uptime

It's work zabbix_agentd.exe -t system.uptime :

It seems it's something about your windows host then. Can you check if the port 10050 is open on your windows machine? try something like:

netstat -an | find 10050

i try netstat -an and i look that the 10050 is open

What windows os are you running?
The thing that's messing it up seems to be something related to a firewall I think. Do you have any other software running what might function as a firewall ?

i used windows 7 and now i add a new rules incomming traffic with port 10050 and¨my host in zabbix server become gray.

i add two Simple check items in this host : icmppingsec[] and icmppingloss[] -> that work but the host is gray

i add an other zabbix agent items : agent.ping -> the host become red.
