I got Zabbix all setup and I'm trying to install the agent (2.4.2) on Server 2012. I tried the method listed in the Zabbix documentation, and that got the service installed. But the service wouldn't ever start. You can see the config I tried here: http://pastebin.com/dQm3fT8s (this was originally a link, but apparently I had too many). So I tried using the MSI from I found on suiviperf.com (I would link to it but apparently one live link is too many), but the install fails and the end and no service is ever created.

You can use official zabbix agent available on http://www.zabbix.com/download.php last stable version is 2.4.1. A tried install it on Windows 2012 and all work perfectly. -
I did try the 2.4.1 from that page first. Sorry, didn't realize the last method I tried (the MSI) was a different version. When I used the pre-compiled agent from that page it immediately throws an error that it timed out waiting for the service to connect in the Windows event log.Comment

You must check that conf file in the same path as are in Service patch like
"C:\........\zabbix_agentd.exe" --config "C:\.......\zabbix_agentd.conf"
if all right check you firewall on server and clientComment

OK, I didn't know they needed to be in the same folder. The service seems to be running now. Quick question since I'm new to Zabbix. Does zabbix_get and zabbix_sender need to be installed, or are they just called by the service to send/receive data?Comment

No, they didn'tComment

I also just installed on Win 2012 R2 and got it working. Remember you've got to make a firewall exception in windows firewall if that's on. That owned me for a few minutes
Basically I decided to place the zabbix folder under C:\, then create a log folder under that, add firewall exception and make the service install. Then I've edited the conf file to my own "standard setup", so I just copy the folder from server to server and change the hostname and all is well. Should be fairly easy to make a batch file for someone with a little time over. (?)Comment

What did you set in firewall to let Zabbix work? I'm trying to setup one on Windows 2016 Server TP3 but I'm stuck: locally agent respond, firewall rules (inbound and outbound) allowing all traffic for public/domain/private over 10050 tcp port but… All I get is "SYNC_RECEIVED" from Windows' netstats and "Timeout while executing operation" from zabbix_get on another host.Comment

only 10050 on tcp
maybe it's problem in 2016Comment
