Windows agent installation: "event source [Zabbix Agent] installed successfully" ?

[Dan18]

When I install the windows agent, I get usually the two following lines:

zabbix_agentd.exe [9084]: service [Zabbix Agent] installed successfully
zabbix_agentd.exe [9084]: event source [Zabbix Agent] installed successfully

The first line indicates that the zabbix service has been installed successfully. So far so good.

Though, what exactly is the meaning of the second line?
I have never found an event source "Zabbix Agent" in the windows eventvwr..


Thanks
Dan

When outputting the log from the application to the event log, it is necessary to register in advance the event source to specify the application log.
To that end, zabbix_agentd.exe will register the settings for the Zabbix agent in the registry.

For details, refer to the source.
function: svc_install_event_source() in src/libs/zbxwin32/service.c

Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\eventlog\System\Zabbix Agent

Got it. Thanks for the explanation.
