Store/provide credentials to agent workflows on windows (Moving from SCOM pain)

[igor888888]

Hello
My work now is to move from SCOM to Zabbix

About 1200 win agents and 400 linux

One of the biggest pain comparing scom and its makes me cry :

• Zabbix cant store creds like domain accounts and cant make it available to monitoring workflows - i mean system.run for example

So almost first task i have - to monitor smth under some domain account on multiple servers... but i cant!

Only i can - is to install one more service on agent and to run it under account i need - its brilliant solution in 2024

SCOM have runas account technic for it

I think lots of people will breath free if runas will be implemented...

Hello, I think you could solve your problem with Macros. To do this, go to Administration -> Macros and define your domain user and password there (in Macros named like "{domain-admin}" and "{domain-admin-pw}")
I would recommend you to chose the Secret text option or to implement a vault.
It should be very worthwhile for you to watch this documentary:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/config/macros/secret_macros

Then you just have to store the macro on your hosts or create a template where the macro is stored.

Please let me know if this suggestion helped you, as far as I understand it, this should fix your problem.
