Windows Agent Include all files in a directory

[zkrapavickas]

Hello

This patch is to allow to Include all files in a directory in the Windows Agent configuration file. So far this feature was available only on UNIX agents.

[richlv]

could you please attach the patch at https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-1917 ?
thanks

[zkrapavickas]

Done. Sorry for delay.

hmm..
I think it should be attached to : https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-3928 (include a directory)
and not to https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-1917 aka ZBXNEXT-833 that deals with variable expantion ...

[zkrapavickas]

Sounds logical to me ...
richlv: why did you ask to atach it to ZBX-1917 ?

because that issue initially contained both problems, but then another one was created with inclusion problem separately, so it made sense to split them up

Broken again in 2.0.5

It seems like this change didn't get copied across to version 2.0.5.

Should I log this as a new bug or to an old bug. I'm not sure whether you have a policy of reopening old bug reports.

It might seem like a trivial change, but if you are trying to configure multiple servers using something like chef or puppet combined with the Zabbix API it makes it difficult to subdivide checks into individual templates.

Thank you kindly

what do you mean by reopening ? a couple of mentioned issues i checked haven't been resolved...

I thought it was fixed in 1.8.6

From what I could see the patch above to allow the inclusion of a directory in the Windows zabbix agent was included in version 1.8.6. However I can't find it in the release notes for that version nor have I checked that version on Windows yet.

So presumably I just add this to ZBX-3928 as that's still open? Would be really useful to see this included in the next version.

[richlv]

there was a proof-of-concept patch, but there was no resolution.

Hi,

it seems that this is still not implemented under version 2.0.6 windows?

It would be really helpful.
