Do you mean can you install Zabbix server on Windows? No you cannot.

You can install Zabbix agent and monitor Windows though.

zabbix server only runs on linux the appliance is also linux

you could install something like virtualbox and then run the appliance

but i would not do this in production

Could you elaborate as to why running the appliance in production wouldn't be a good idea? I'm looking for a network monitor for my home and office networks, about 50 IP addresses each. It's not mission critical, but I'd like to know what's going on. Setting up a VM Manually and installing Zabbix isn't my idea of a fun weekend.
Thanks!

if it's only for home use and not in a critical environment

yes you could

but installing zabbix takes like 10 minutes
