windows-agentd

[patrickpeng]

hello,
When I install the zabbixw32 into windows xp, it shows successful installed, and then I set the ListenIP to my host IP , but when I run "zabbixw32 test", the system shows:Error: unknow option :ListenIP , can anyone tell me what's going on here? Or anybody who can give me an example on how to set the .conf file of zabbix-agent in windows OS?

Hi Patrick

Try setting the host IP to 127.0.0.1, or Localhost and see if that works.

Hi PatrikPeng,

I hope you 're ok now. I 'm sorry, I cant help you. But maybe you can.
Can yow tell me how you make your W32 install?

I cant' start ZabbixW32.exe.
What's more, in the configuration menu, the monitored host is set not available and the gethostbyname function failed.

I tried to launch the.bat : c\ Documents and Settings .....win32floppy> install.bat test 172.16.19.2 c:\Program Files\zabbix\zabbix_agent.conf
I got this error message
Installing Zabbix Agent files and
INSTALL ERROR: Can't copy file "..ZabbixW32.exe" in to c:\Program!


Could you please help me and give me some ideas.
Regards
Rose

This is my config file for a Windows XP system, I think i have more options in there than are necessary... if you open up the command line and go to the folder where the zabbix agent is installed, you can run zabbix232 check-config and it will tell you what errors if any, it finds with the config file and what line # they are on.

hello
Thanks for all you help , now it works all right, I used to set wrong zabbix-agentd.conf, here I write out my step on how to set windows-agentd in windows xp:
1. download the zabbix source package, not just the windows-agentd, because you need to make a zabbix-agentd.conf file, and this is contained in the zabbix package, under the file misc/conf
2. copy the " zabbixW32.exe " to c:/" and also copy the zabbix_agentd.conf from "misc/conf" to "c:/", because the default path of zabbix_agentd.conf is "c:/".
3.run "zabbixW32.exe install" under the Ms-Dos, or if you put your zabbix_agentd.conf in other path, then run
"zabbixW32.exe --config <the path where you put your zabbix_agentd.conf> install"
4. after step 3, the windows-agent should be installed already, then config the zabbix_agentd.conf. open this file using notepad , you need to set the server IP to what is your server IP is, remeber to delete the "#" infront it. and also the "server port" and "Listen port", do not change anything else any more, except the "Logfile" and "pidfile", you can put "#" infront of them or you can change the path of them, do not use the default, because there is no tmp file or var/tmp file in windows system. save all you sets.
5. run " zabbixW32 test" to test the config file, if the screen shows : press ESC to exit, then it should be ok
6. run " zabbixw32 start" to start the agent, hopefully you can monitor the windows now.
do not forget to create a new host and let it link to the item of window_t .


I am a chinese guy, sorry for my bad English. if you can't understand ,try to guess or ask someone else.
