    Zabbix can't see Windows agent

    I'm brand new to Zabbix. I successfully got the server installed on a RHEL 7.6 server, and I'm successfully monitoring other RHEL servers--however, I'm having difficulty with Windows servers.

    I added a Windows server as a host to Zabbix, then installed the Zabbix agent on the Windows server--also opening port TCP/10050 on the Windows server on which I'm trying to run the agent.

    Using https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../windows_agent as a reference, I have the Zabbix agent installed and running. When I restart Zabbix Agent on the Windows server, the log file shows me the below; however, the "ZBX" indicator remains greyed out...Zabbix can see the agent via ping, but not via Zabbix.

    Code:
     10480:20190227:114414.430 Zabbix Agent stopped. Zabbix 3.0.25 (revision 89098).
     10628:20190227:114414.761 Starting Zabbix Agent [psy-entman]. Zabbix 3.0.25 (revision 89098).

      8392:20190227:114414.779 agent #5 started [active checks #1]
    I'm using the out-of-the-box template for Windows servers.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks!

    Zabbix agent can work in two mode Passive and Active.

    Ping is a Simple Check from Zabbix server.

    Zabbix Agent - item from Zabbix agent from passive mode on the host (see red or green icon ZBX on wep page Zabbix)

    Zabbix Agent (active) - item from zabbix agent from active mode (ZBX icon is grey).

      Make sure the template Template OS Windows is successfully attached to host psy-entman. Go to Configuration -> hosts -> psy-entman -> items and make sure it has items of type Zabbix agent.

        Hi, did you verify if the Windows Firewall block the agent? If you have other firewall install on the server, you need to able the agent into the firewall.
