    Running a Zabbix Agent w/o a Zabbix Server

    Hi,

    We'd like to use Zabbix on a single instance of Windows Server 2012. Understanding that the Zabbix Server isn't supported on Windows (only the Zabbix Agent) to what extent are Zabbix agents capable of running independent of Zabbix servers? Does an agent need a server to configure the agent’s collections and drive its data collection intervals and data persistence or can an single agent be deployed independent of a server?


    Recognizing that Zabbix agents have CLI arguments that may be passed in:

    zabbix_get.exe -s 127.0.0.1 -p 10050 -k system.cpu.load[all,avg1]

    Can an agent be configured with a config file and run to collect the data we are interested in?

    Thanks,
    Lee

    If you have no infrastructure to store your gathered data then using a zabbix agent makes no sense at all.
