add item to zabbix agent configuration

[wickeren]

I just found to have forgotten to add

AllowKey=system.run[*]

to all couple of hundred hosts...
Is there a simple way to add this or do I really have to RDP to all servers just to add one mising key?

How did you add all those agents and configs at first place? .

We have a template machine and just clone them. For new machines it will befine as I just added AllowKey=system.run[*] to the config. But for existing machines it will be a challenge.


Is AllowKey=system.run[*] a parameter you can specfify when doing a scripted install with msiexec, just like SERVER= and LISTENPORT=? So far I had no luck doing this...

[wickeren]

simple powershell script will do:

(Get-Content "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix_agentd.conf" -Raw).Replace('EnableRemoteCommands=1','AllowKey=sy stem.run[*]') |
Set-Content "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix_agentd.conf"

I already have a version check action that triggers an MSI installation of a new zabbix agent, just have to add this powershell script and I think all will be fine when upgrading to agent version 5.4.4.

There is a limited set of options you can specify on command line

If you do not have any central tool for package distribution, you are quite limited in options I think... Script, which connects to all hosts and installs/modifies config file seems most painless ...
